For relaxing time, for layering

Waffle long john pants from ao using waffle fabric. The waffle fabric made by ao is soft and gentle to the touch, and it is attractive that it is comfortable against the skin like an inner layer. The inside of the waist and pocket bags are made of gentle gauze, making these ao-like relaxed pants.

Loose and comfortable

Gauze is made by loosely twisting cotton threads and loosely weaving them alternately vertically and horizontally. While it is often used as an inner layer or material worn by babies with sensitive skin, why can't it be worn by adults when going out? Ao is a factory brand that can be said to be a gauze professional born from such a point of view.

Relaxed pants made of soft waffle fabric with beautiful vertical unevenness. It is a simple and classic design that arranges long johns, which are men's inner bottoms, like ao. The inner facing of the waist and the bag of the pocket are made of fine double gauze, and the areas where you are concerned about looseness are gentle to the touch. Not only is it great for relaxing in the room, but it has a silhouette that is not too thick, so it can be worn over a dress or long skirt. We also have a Henry pullover made of the same material, so you can wear it as a set.

ao gauze

Gauze is a loosely twisted cotton yarn that is loosely woven vertically and horizontally alternately. It is characterized by good moisture absorption, quick drying, and good breathability. Gauze has a strong image of summer because it absorbs perspiration well. It is also suitable fabric. In addition, the loose weave reduces the density of the threads, which is also attractive because it has a "lightness" and "softness" that makes it feel as if it is wrapped in air. Ao's gauze is made to maintain the "softness of cotton itself", which tends to be lost.

In order to make clothes with a gentle touch, we reviewed the process from thread to fabric, and as a result, we found that the soft touch of cotton itself can be maintained by avoiding unnecessary oil removal, processing, and gluing. However, using kibata without this process has the advantage of having a good texture, but it is difficult to handle because it shrinks when washed. At ao, we solve this difficulty by always washing or dyeing, calculating the shrinkage and correcting the pattern. The shrinkage when washed is reduced by the laborious process that can only be done at our own factory.

From a sewing factory in Niigata

ao is a factory brand launched by a sewing factory in Itoigawa City, Niigata Prefecture. Using the technology we have cultivated over many years as a sewing factory, we make clothes using gauze, which is difficult to sew. We pay attention to every single detail, such as pressing down the seam allowances, folding and sewing, and sewing in a bag shape.

In addition, ao believes in the potential of gauze, and actively develops original gauze fabrics, such as coarse double gauze, single gauze that enjoys a sense of sheerness, and dyeing that does not look like gauze at first glance. is working on
