KEPANI / Houston Raffy Lined Vest

Sweat Vest boasting outstanding comfort
A vest knitted on an old-style sinker knitting machine, boasting outstanding comfort, this vest is made with KEPANI’s synonymous “Raffy-lined” fabric, which is warm and soft to the touch.

The front has a button-fly type that can be worn over a shirt or cut and sewn to create a style with depth. It can be used as outerwear or inner vest depending on the season.

KEPANI
A Japanese sweatshirt brand founded in 2006. The brand’s main products include back-filled sweatshirts made from carefully selected yarns and manufacturing methods, sweatshirt parkas, jackets, gloves, and other accessories.

Secret to long-lasting use
KEPANI’s Raffy-lined fabrics are made of fallen cotton from the world’s three finest super-long cottons: Trupan cotton, Giza cotton, and Supima cotton. As a result, you can continue to wear it without losing the original suppleness of cotton even after repeated washing.

In addition, the knitted fabric is tumbled and shrunk at once to give it “reshapeability” and “elasticity,” so it will not lose its shape and maintain its original form even after washing.

“Lightness” not found in hang knitting machines
The lightness that comes from doing all the work by hand, without relying on machines, is also a feature of this product. The fabric is made with the utmost care, with each craftsman’s skills and human power being essential to adjusting the temperature and the fluff to the next comma.

You can also enjoy the change in color over time
The melange texture that gives off a unique expression can also be enjoyed over time as the black threads lose their color with repeated washing. The more you wear it, the more you can develop it into your own unique piece of clothing.

Details that combine design and practicality
The neckline is set at the perfect opening for a clean shirt collar. The ribbed piping enhances the fit when worn and adds a subtle accent to the overall look.

The warm pockets on the side are a detail that combines design and practicality. Buttons are made with cat-eye buttons for a subtle vintage look.

Clever silhouette for adults
Although the silhouette is clean and tight, the high elasticity ensures a stress-free fit.

These pants can be worn over shirts and cut-and-sew tops for a different look and feel, making them extremely versatile.
