A firm yet appropriately thick fabric that was previously unavailable

"Cotton Heavy Poplin Rudeback Half" is made from 20/1 cotton yarn, carefully woven in the Enshu region into a dense plain weave with a firm texture. It's thinner than cotton canvas, but thicker than sheeting or broadcloth, resulting in a canvas fabric with a suitable, yet previously unavailable, thickness.

Supple crispness and warm softness

"Cotton Heavy Poplin Rudeback Half" is finished with a warm texture that feels soft with just the right amount of crispness, maximizing the natural characteristics of cotton material through traditional dyeing processes by artisans in Hamamatsu, a city known for its textiles.

Cotton fabric that achieves realistic fading and a vintage look

"Cotton Heavy Poplin Rudeback Half" is a plain fabric, but by using sulfur dyes, similar to those used for denim, and carefully dyeing it over time to achieve vibrant colors, it is designed to gradually show aging (changes over time) such as fading from friction and wear, similar to how denim ages with long-term use.

8 sophisticated basic colors

"Cotton Heavy Poplin Rudeback Half" features carefully selected muted colors to bring out the rustic texture and warmth of cotton, creating a classical and stylish atmosphere.

*The ecru color intentionally retains natural cotton flecks on the fabric surface for a natural feel.
*Although the fabric is opaque, please note that light colors like off-white and ecru may pick up contrast more easily, making them appear slightly more transparent.

Each piece is carefully crafted with the skill of artisans

Kijinomori's fabrics are created using the skilled techniques and intuition of artisans who are well-versed in natural fibers, right here in Hamamatsu, for their texture, surface appearance, and dyeing techniques.
