Indigo Hokkaido Cotton Fleece Annie Blouson

Inspired by vintage cyclist jackets, this piece features a shorter length for a clean and streamlined look. The elegantly rounded French collar adds a refined touch.

Hokkaido fabric is thick and springy, with a unique texture. The fabric is knitted using a machine that moves so slowly—just one meter per hour—that it feels as though air is being woven into the material, giving it a soft, voluminous quality. The density of the weave has been significantly increased by packing in far more threads than usual, creating a beautifully textured fabric from a single yarn. This design exemplifies the high level of Japanese craftsmanship that 45R is known for.
