The striped fabric is a mélange stripe that was used in jackets from the 20s to 30s in France. Analysis revealed that there are 5 types of warp threads,\u003cbr\u003e\nand the fabric is made of a special structure called double woven warp. The thickness and combination of the threads were carefully considered to create the original.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe twisted gabardine is made of original fabric using threads of 'kemono-giri', which has a texture similar to animal hair. It was analyzed and referenced from chambray fabric used in Italian military pants in the 1910s. Two types of warp threads and a total of 4 colors of threads were used to create a depth and a smudged surface feel.\u003cbr\u003e\nAs a finish, a de-oiling washer was applied to achieve a smooth texture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taiga Takahashi","offers":[{"title":"MELANGE BLUE \/ OS","offer_id":47976809267389,"sku":"1000000029994","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5829\/2669\/files\/greybird-d7d8f468c635a0fa93aed4e7b708e5c0.jpg?v=1786432392","url":"https:\/\/www.greybird.store\/products\/lot-006-newsboy-cap-18","provider":"Greybird","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
