It can be hand washed, so you can keep it clean even during the sweaty seasons. *Because the material is thin, it may be tightly packed together due to static electricity, etc. "A soft men's stole woven over time in Kyotango" ■Design This stole comes in two variations: navy (navy x white) and burgundy (burgundy x gray). Both the warp and weft threads are woven with a different color in the center, and three colors in the overlapping areas are arranged on four sides of the center of the stole. Although the colors are beautiful, when you wrap it around your body it creates a calm atmosphere, making it easy to match with any outfit. ■Softness created by shuttle looms The most distinctive feature of this product is its softness. It is so light and gentle to the touch that you will forget you are wearing it. This characteristic is only possible thanks to the 60 count fine thread and the traditional techniques of Kyotango, a famous textile production area. Using a rare machine called a shuttle loom, the fabric is woven slowly over time to reduce tension on the thread, resulting in a soft texture. ■Manufacturing method that relies as little on chemicals as possible In addition to the shuttle loom, various other techniques are used to reduce stress on the thread (static electricity) and make weaving easier. One of these is the process of allowing the thread to absorb moisture from the sand over time, as mentioned above. By using techniques that have been passed down since ancient times, we are able to weave soft, high-quality shawls with as little reliance on chemicals as possible. ■Hand washable + antibacterial and deodorizing This soft, lightweight scarf can be worn from spring through autumn. Summer brings with it a lot of sweating and odors, which can be a concern. This product is made of 100% cotton and can be hand-washed (though machine washing is recommended as it will cause excessive wrinkling). The yarn used is also treated with "Lonfresh™ Natural Deodorant," which inhibits the growth of resident bacteria on the fabric when worn, providing effective antibacterial and odor-preventing properties. ■About fringe thread loss The top and bottom of this product have raw fringe, and as you use it, the threads will gradually come loose. If this bothers you, you can remove the weft threads with a needle or toothpick (see the attached instructions for details). *The actual color may differ slightly from the image shown on your screen depending on your PC monitor or smartphone. *You can find all TAVARAT products by entering "TAVARAT" in the Amazon search box.
