This is mammy from the ApparelX trend blog.
This time, we'd like to introduce "Inoue Knit Co., Ltd.," a new company featured on ApparelX.
Inoue Knit Co., Ltd. is a company that functions as both a trading company and a manufacturer of knit materials, and is particularly strong in its ability to supply and respond to customers' needs, especially for warp-knitted materials.
It started in 1965 (Showa 40) as a warp knitting production and sales company.
In 1983 (Showa 58), we separated our textile division and established the current Inoue Knit Co., Ltd.
A key feature of our business is that we handle a wide range of fabrics, from textile used in apparel to textile used for materials.
Inoue Knit is not just a knit textile manufacturer,
Knitting
Processing (dyeing, etc.)
Inventory and stockpiles
Samples and prototypes
Short delivery time
Overseas expansion
It can be said that this is the only manufacturer in Japan that consistently handles this process.
① We have stock, which allows us to handle small-lot orders and provide products with short lead times, which is a strong advantage.
② We offer a wide variety of functional knit fabrics that have added value, rather than just ordinary knit textile.
③ We offer a wide range of products, including not only textile for apparel, but also industrial materials, sports equipment, medical supplies, hygiene products, and baby products.
④ Inoue Knit's main textile is "warp knit."
Warp knitting is a type of knitting where the thread is knitted in the vertical direction. It has the advantages of being stronger than circular knitting, not stretching too much, and having good shape retention.

This is a high-performance circular interlock knitting garment with a smooth, glossy finish.
It has a soft texture, is comfortable even when in direct contact with the skin, and has a simple yet elegant finish.
Furthermore, the UV-blocking treatment cuts out ultraviolet rays, and the sweat-wicking and quick-drying function allows it to dry quickly even when you sweat, making it ideal for use in summer or outdoors.
Lightweight and stretchy, it can be used for a wide range of applications, from sportswear and casual wear to uniforms.

This mesh material offers superior comfort thanks to its sweat-wicking, quick-drying properties and soft texture.
With its soft and comfortable texture, it is versatile and suitable for a wide range of uses, primarily in clothing.
Among the mesh products available in various colors, this is the most affordable mesh product in ApparelX history, making it a great choice for customers looking to save money!

This knit material combines functionality and design, featuring a highly breathable mesh structure combined with a striped pattern.
It features a lightweight, breathable design and a refreshing, cool appearance.
It could be used for light outerwear in apparel or as a lining for sportswear, but it's especially recommended when you want a unique design rather than just regular mesh textile.

Takashima Chijimi fabric has been produced in Takashima City, located northwest of Lake Biwa, since the Tenmei era of the Edo period.
This fabric features a unique textured surface (bumps and ridges) that reduces contact area with the skin, resulting in a smooth feel, excellent sweat absorption, and a cooling sensation that is well-suited to Japan's hot and humid climate.
This textile is also a knit textile, so it has horizontal stretch. The pattern and colors have a distinctly Japanese feel.

We also have that.

FREEZE FIT achieves a superior texture, similar to ultra-fine fibers, by using high-filament, specially shaped cross-section thread that are gentle on the skin. In addition, the specially shaped cross-section thread provide superior water absorption and quick-drying properties compared to regular polyester.
It combines excellent moisture absorption and quick-drying properties with a cooling sensation, as well as antibacterial and deodorizing functions, making it ideal for sportswear and other applications.

Douten is an anti-static material that uses the conductive fiber Beltron, which was independently developed by Kanebo and later inherited by KB SEIREN Co., Ltd. It has the effect of reducing static electricity on fibers, which is said to have adverse effects on the human body.
Its features include reducing static electricity on the fibers, making it less likely to attract dust and pollen, and the anti-static effect lasts even after washing.
Because it's a fuzzy , it's also recommended for use as a lining or pocket lining in outerwear for autumn and winter.

one-sided is softly fuzzy, offering excellent cushioning and scratch resistance, making it a textile fabric suitable for a wide range of applications such as clothing linings, cushioning materials, and product covers. Its affordable price is also a major advantage.
We introduced Inoue Knit Co., Ltd., which handles products ranging from spring/summer and autumn/winter items to knitwear for materials, as well as apparel.
In recent years, there has been a strong demand for added value and functionality in textile.
