Here are a few textiles we picked out for introduction.

Compared with regular seersucker, this one offers a richer variety of stripes. In particular, the ecru color is beautiful, and although it has a workwear feel, I think it could also be interesting to make something like a draped dress from it. It also has substantial thickness, and even in ecru there is almost no sheerness, so it can be used versatilely from shirts to pants.

This is also a medium-weight material with a workwear feel. It can be used flexibly for purposes beyond shirts and blouses as well.
As with the previous AN-9224, Aritsune Shoten's textiles, even when they have a workwear taste, do not feel overly rugged and have a refined atmosphere.
I think the reason is probably the superb color development, and also that even when the thickness and density are substantial, the texture feels soft to the touch.

Personally, this is a material I like. It looks like hard-core American casual, but with cotton-silk use, it has none of that rough, earthy feel. This refined atmosphere,
I hope you will definitely check it out with actual swatches.
