Keep it long, treasure it long.

swaying drapes

A comfortable nightwear series based on ao's popular smooth jersey series, using silk blend yarn on the side that touches the skin. These luxurious relaxing pants have a soft, melt-in-your-skin feel and the added goodness of silk that blends well into your skin.

Refreshing comfort

Wide pants with a loose silhouette that makes the fabric swim as you walk. It is not see-through and has a beautiful slack-like impression, so it is recommended not only as nightwear but also as one-mile wear. The elastic at the waist is wide enough to avoid tightening your stomach, giving you a comfortable fit. The length is deliberately set short to allow air to pass through, making it easier for people who tend to get overheated or have a high body temperature to choose it. These wide pants are designed for refreshing comfort.

The fabric is ``Nameraka Tenjiku'' (double sheeting gauze), a popular fabric from ao, which is knitted with ultra-fine thread made from 100% Supima cotton, a high-quality cotton called ``cotton cashmere.'' The fabric is originally known for its moist, smooth texture and lightness, but this series also uses silk-blend yarn on the surface that touches the skin, giving it a luxurious feel that is unique to silk. Silk is made from a protein similar to that of human skin, so it blends well into the skin, making it a material often chosen for nightwear.

A great feature of double jersey gauze is that it absorbs moisture well, so it can be worn comfortably in all seasons, even in sweaty seasons, and because it traps air between the fabrics to keep you warm, even in chilly seasons. It is also suitable for people with sensitive skin as it does not cause much stress on the skin.

We also have other products from the same series, but ao is particular about changing the colors of all products so that you can enjoy color combinations. With a gentle color combination, this series offers a different kind of fun than regular pajamas.

Comfortable from the moment you hold it

Gauze is a fabric made by loosely twisting cotton threads and woven loosely in alternating vertical and horizontal directions. It is characterized by good moisture absorption, quick drying, and good breathability. When we think of gauze, we tend to associate it with summer because it absorbs sweat well, but gauze that has double or triple layers has air layers in between, making it surprisingly warm, so it's actually great for the chilly seasons. It is also a suitable fabric. Another attractive feature of the fabric is that it is woven loosely so that the density of the threads is low, giving it a lightness and softness that makes it feel like it is surrounded by air.

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 create clothes using gauze, which is a labor-intensive process to sew. The products are created by paying attention to every detail, such as folding the seam allowances and pressing down the seams, folding and sewing, and sewing into bag shapes, all of which are gentle and comfortable on the skin. In addition, at ao, we believe in the potential of gauze and are actively developing original gauze fabrics, such as double gauze with a coarse mesh, single layer gauze with a transparent feel, and dyed products that do not look like gauze at first glance. We are working on this.
