The unconventional "Type 1 Kai" takes the classic "Type 1" shape and Oni gabardine a step further, and by adding studs, awakens a sense of challenge in the wearer. ※Oni gabardine(Ultra-heavy gabardine)
Even those unfamiliar with SB's navy blazer will want to try it on as it exudes a dignified style.
The pattern is similar to Type 1, with a shallow shape and slightly longer length that suits the Japanese skeleton, and individuality is expressed through the details. By adding light padding to the shoulders and using wool interlining in key areas, the weight is adjusted while taking advantage of the characteristics of the fabric, giving it just the right amount of three-dimensionality.
The fabric is a type commonly known as Oni Gaba, proposed by KONNO. It is made from a 2/36 worsted yarn, almost woolen, that is tightly twisted and woven at an ultra-high density with a 2/2 weave, resulting in a spongy elasticity and beautiful drape. The texture adapts to the body the more you wear it, and maintains a highly reproducible appearance.
KONNO's unique aesthetic sense is evident in the details, such as the original brass buttons that change over time and the lining that peeks out when the sleeves are rolled up.
