Hello!
Have you had a chance to check out yesterday's blog?
If you haven't read it yet,
taking a look at the previous post as well will really help
bring out the best qualities
of the item I'm introducing today!
As I announced yesterday, today I'll be continuing to introduce
ssstein's knitwear.
The knit in question is:
ssstein
-KID MOHAIR MIX JACQUARD
KNIT LS (ST.1305)-
col.BROWN MIX 
col.CHARCOAL MIX
When you think of ssstein knitwear, mohair has become
the definitive material you associate with the brand.
They use kid mohair, which is particularly precious among mohair varieties,
offering a smooth, soft comfort
and a voluminous, high-quality texture that commands presence.
The complex coloring, visible even from a distance,
is achieved by using five different colored yarns.
I personally bought a stein mohair knit about three years ago,
and while it was great back then,
it is obvious that the quality has been increasing
every single year.
Starting this year, they presented a runway show in Paris,
gaining global recognition
and exuding the aura of a true Japanese brand.
It’s inorganic and contemporary real-wear, but
as you learn more about the subtle details—
the patterns, materials, and backstories—
your perspective changes, and things that once seemed
inorganic start to look vivid and alive.
The material of this knit would be mundane
if it were a single color, but
by mixing the colors in such a complex way,
it transforms into a shade unique to ssstein.
If I spend all year indulging in these kinds of daydreams,
it's no wonder I end up buying so many clothes! (lol)
I imagine few people think this way when they choose clothes,
but I find it interesting how knowing the story changes how you see them.
To be completely honest,
since it uses mohair, those with sensitive skin
might find it slightly itchy.
Hearing that, some might decide, "Well, then it's not for me," but
even if it is a bit itchy, it's nothing compared to
the materials sold in fast fashion.
For someone who loves clothes, the feel against the skin is
well within an acceptable range,
so when it comes to the feel of the material,
the best thing to do is try it on in person.
(A certain stylish fashion YouTuber said the same thing... lol)
If you are worried about the itchiness, I recommend the
wool & alpaca knit I introduced in yesterday's blog!
That knit is an absolute must-have that even those with sensitive skin
can choose with confidence.
Aside from the knit I introduced today, we still have plenty of
recommended items for early autumn,
so if you're interested, please come visit us at the shop!!
I personally have the day off tomorrow,
so my next blog update will be on Wednesday the 22nd.
Stay tuned!
