ISETAN MEN'S suits are made in historical buildings.

The factory, located in a peaceful, local area, was situated in a place so historically significant that it could not be demolished, as the building itself was a registered tangible cultural property of the Agency for Cultural Affairs.

Fabrics woven on a Schonherr loom have a texture that is almost like handwoven fabric.

The most distinctive feature of Katsuri Woolen Mills is their commitment to production using the Schönherr loom*. In an era where efficiency through mass production is essential, their dedication to slowly and carefully weaving fabrics on the Schönherr loom, which produces a texture close to handwoven fabric, makes them a truly rare weaving company. I am impressed by their approach to craftsmanship every time I visit.

"Gently Cloth" achieves a cashmere-like feel.

The fabric we've selected this time is called "Gently Cloth." Originally a long-selling item from ISETAN MEN'S , it features wool that achieves a cashmere-like touch. It combines a soft touch with enhanced functionality, achieving both comfort and performance. For this occasion, we've selected a Gently Cloth fabric woven with fine threads at a high density.

They respond to a wide range of requests. Katsuri Woolen Mills Co., Ltd., where you can feel the love for their customers and their craftsmanship.

ISETAN MEN'S private label development is done in small quantities, but the key is that we have to create something unique that meets our customers' needs. Working with Katsuri Woolen Mills, who are willing to discuss even small-lot development, was incredibly reassuring.
