The KUON (久遠) sweater is a truly timeless piece with dropped shoulders, chunky blue side-seams, contrasting ribs, our signature embroidery on the shoulder and a slightly longer body for a modern silhouette. The Hayate (疾風) fabric has been in the making for over three years: a textured loopback with a distinct salt & pepper look with an indigo twist. Rope dyed with both natural and pure indigo, the surface is textured, rough, and almost dramatic, therefore we named it a stormy gale - or Hayate in Japanese. And when a storm is raging, the Hayate is the perfect companion as it is incredibly soft and comfortable."
