Stitched, not printed
Embroidery is stitched into the cloth instead of sitting on top of it. A print is a layer of ink that cracks along fold lines and fades every wash. Thread does neither. It goes through the fabric, so the design has the same lifespan as the garment carrying it.
The cost is weight and drape. Dense stitching stiffens the panel it sits on. Both of these are built on heavy cloth that carries it without puckering.
The cherry blossom sweatshirt is the one people arrive for. Cotton-rich at 51% to 70% cotton, loose through the body, in five colorways including two velvet finishes. Wash it cold and inside out, and dry it flat.
The Kagero, measured
The Kagero Sleeveless Hoodie runs 100% cotton at 380 gsm and is garment washed at the mill, so the shrinkage happens before you own it. At size M it measures 72 cm long with a 55.5 cm shoulder and a 59 cm chest laid flat, so 118 cm around.
Sleeveless puts the whole weight across the shoulders and leaves the arms free to layer. Machine wash cold, do not bleach, tumble dry low. Take your usual size in both.
Where the rest of the range sits
For hooded pieces with sleeves see hoodies and sweatshirts.
The rest of the Japanese range sits in japanese graphic tees, japanese jackets and japanese pants.
