HEART-WARMING LIFE-TECH WEAR #12 "Japanese Paper ＆ Linen"
This feature focuses on the functionality of nanamica.
This time, we’re highlighting a piece made from a mix of washi paper and linen.
In early summer, when fresh breezes pass through, a polo shirt adds just the right touch of refinement—especially in situations where a T-shirt might feel too casual. nanamica’s version uses a unique blend of washi and linen, combining an elegant look with breezy comfort. The result is a polo sweater perfectly suited for early summer wardrobes.
The star of this feature is a polo sweater carefully knit with a 14-gauge double jacquard. The fine texture gives it an elegant look, subtly accented by a quiet design at the chest. The motif is an abstract "wave" artwork created by picture book author Ryota Ushikubo. By intentionally using the reverse side of the knit, it creates a soft, slightly blurred touch that lends a gentle impression.
The knit fabric uses a blend of washi paper and polyester for the outer yarns, and linen and nylon for the inner yarns. It offers excellent breathability and moisture absorption, keeping the skin dry even in sweaty seasons. The textured, uneven surface also helps prevent the fabric from sticking to the skin, delivering a smooth and comfortable wearing experience.
For this time of the year, it layers well under a jacket or over a long-sleeve tee. In midsummer, you can throw it on lightly over a tank top—it’s a versatile piece that adapts to the seasons and allows for flexible styling.
