The softness of the material directly translates to how comfortable it feels to wear.


Parafanaria's T-shirts are made using an ultra-slow loopwheel knitting machine that can only knit 1 meter per hour, in order to bring out the inherent qualities of cotton. Because there is almost no extra force applied to the yarn, it is possible to create a fluffy, soft texture as if air has been knitted into it.


Furthermore, because the fabric is knitted slowly and carefully, there is less distortion in the fabric, and it is less prone to "skew" caused by twisting of the threads, which can lead to deformation after washing. In addition, double-ring tape is used on the shoulders and neck of the T-shirt to prevent it from losing its shape when worn. The hems and sleeves are sewn using a "pull stitch" method, where the seams are not visible on the outside.
