Plump and soft yak

FACTORY's short wide yak sweater is made from yak wool, which is as warm and light as cashmere. It's fluffy and soft, and even though it's a wool sweater, it's light and you can wear it comfortably without straining your shoulders. Although it has a loose fit, the short length is well-balanced and is recommended as a layered style with a shirt or blouse.

Made with yak hair that withstands the cold


The Yak Short Wide Sweater is luxuriously made using only the hair of yak, which lives in the frigid and remote region of Mongolia's Bayankhongor region. This yak hair is so rare that only 20kg can be harvested from 100kg of raw wool. Yaks that live in harsh environments are covered with delicate, soft hair to protect themselves, and are made from a material that has a unique elasticity and softness that contains plenty of air. In addition, the fulling process gives it a fluffy finish. It has good moisturizing properties, so it's good to keep you warm even in the cold season. Thanks to its elasticity, it is also resistant to wrinkles.
The hair of the yak, a type of cow that lives in the highlands of Tibet and Mongolia, is a highly rare natural material that has been attracting attention among top fashion houses around the world in recent years as a high-quality material comparable to cashmere. The brand's FACTORY has built its own factory in Mongolia to manufacture knitwear, and takes time to obtain high-quality wool, performs its own rigorous selection, and performs carding.

It won't look bulky even when layered, and you can wear it for many seasons, so you'll love it even more. Available in 4 basic and easy-to-use colors. You can wash it by hand at home, so you can easily wear it without worrying about it being a wool sweater.

A unique atmosphere created by our own hands

The predecessor of the brand was a boutique that started in 1978. It originally started as a store that sold purchased clothes, but in 1983, the company changed its policy to manufacture all of its products in-house, built a factory behind the store, and launched the brand "FACTORY" to develop original clothing. The brand started with a single sewing machine, and as more and more people joined, they continued to make clothes that fit the customer's body. In 1990, they went overseas in search of materials and established a dyeing workshop, wanting to make more original products. Although it was a small company, they continued to make clothes with a particular attention to detail, and the current form of creation was born, in which they handle all of the planning, material development, manufacturing, and production themselves.

All of FACTORY's design patterns are created in a design atelier in Tokyo. Staff who have gained experience in collection brands and have practiced pattern making create all the shapes using three-dimensional cutting, and by sewing samples many times, they create one-of-a-kind clothes that are "comfortable to wear and not bound by trends" and "simple but a little unique". Then, based on the patterns they create, they create clothes at their own factory in Ashikaga City, Tochigi Prefecture. In addition to cutting and sewing, they are particular about the work of "dyeing" the products and raw materials at the attached dyeing factory. The manufacturing style that is carried through is such that the atmosphere of Ashikaga, a region that has a history of specializing in textile manufacturing, is reflected in the clothes.
