Description
[Hanten Description] This front-lacing hanten keeps warmth in. Its long length keeps you cozy and cozy from the knees up, warding off the cold. Kurume cotton-padded hanten has become a local industry in Kurume, along with the textile industry. Its origins date back to the 1950s, when wholesalers in Kurume commissioned weavers to produce them. The secret to its warmth is a generous blend of cotton filling specially made for hanten by a long-established futon manufacturer. Its excellent heat retention and moisture absorption properties allow it to instantly absorb body heat and reach the highest temperature of the human body upon putting it on. It also recovers in volume when dried in the sun. Hanten made from a single layer of filling are supple and comfortable against the skin. [100% Cotton Dobby Weave] What is Kurume Weave? Kurume weave is primarily woven using a dobby weave on a wide-width loom. Dobby weaving refers to the device that opens and closes the warp threads on a loom. The more frames, the more complex the weave. It also allows for the use of multiple colors of weft threads. The arrangement of the threads and the way the reed is passed through the weave create unique surface variations and textures. (The reed is the part where the threads are spun.) Weaving requires skill, and our dobby weaves can be made with up to 20 frames, allowing for a wide variety of patterns.

A Winter Essentials
This front-opening hanten jacket keeps you warm. Its long length keeps you cozy and protected from the cold. The outer fabric is made with Kurume weave (a dobby weave created by opening the top and bottom of a heki frame, or so-called "sokou-ra" frame), which allows for a warm, snug fit. The cotton material prevents static electricity and provides a comfortable, close-to-skin feel. [About the Hanten] Kurume cotton-padded hanten has become a local industry in Kurume, along with the textile industry. Its origins date back to the 1950s, when wholesalers in Kurume commissioned weavers to produce them. The secret to its warmth is the specially formulated filling, made by a long-established futon manufacturer using a generous blend of cotton. Its excellent moisture-retaining properties allow it to instantly absorb body heat upon putting on, releasing evaporative heat and retaining heat in the air layer of the filling, maintaining warmth. It also retains its fluffiness when dried in the sun. Hanten made from a single layer of cotton are supple and comfortable against the skin.
