A new brand, MITTAN, has started handling.
Before PINT came to Kyoto, when I was in Tokyo, I learned about this brand through co-sponsoring Minna no Tools and "Kagure", which I had a business with. Kagure has been handling MITTAN since the early days, and the staff often wore it. Just by looking at her clothes, she looks nice, but when I hear her story, she seems a little different (in a good way). The representative dyes the shirts themselves, the hand-stitched reinforcement stitches on the shirts, and repairs regardless of the time of purchase. The clothes themselves were something that clearly made me feel something different, from the expression of the fabric and dyeing to the beauty of the stitching.
Since I came to Kyoto in 2018, I have spent a lot of time talking with Mr. Mitani, the company's representative, and I was able to hear about MITTAN and his thinking.
Pursuit and commitment to yarn, fabric, and dyeing. How to make and how to deliver. Responding to repairs and dyeing.
There are many manufacturing methods that have large individual differences depending on the production lot, such as hand-spun and hand-woven fabrics and dyeing with natural dyes. Sincerely facing this characteristic, we are accumulating choices and actions with straight thoughts, including sales methods, communication methods, and repairs.
The concept behind MITTAN's clothes is "modern folk costumes". Threads and fabrics are from Japan and other Asian countries and are suitable for the climate of Japan. Hand-spun and hand-woven khadi fabrics, hemp fabrics and unmelted bamboo fabrics. It is comfortable to wear, especially in the hot and humid summer of Japan.
For sewing, the expression “strong and beautiful” fits perfectly for me personally. Of course, there are many clothes that are beautifully sewn, but I feel that MITTAN clothes have a beauty that makes you feel some kind of power. You can see it, wear it, and feel it.
The material of the yarn fabric and the part of making including sewing and dyeing have a high temperature feeling that you can feel the handwork, and it is clean and beautiful. Although it has a simple design, it has a good silhouette and is easy to move around in, so you can wear it naturally and comfortably. All items are unisex, so please see the actual size on each page.
It's not earthy, and you can wear it in the city or in your daily life. It's exactly the clothes that can be worn like a tool.
PINT has many things in common, such as "modern folk costumes", "modern folk tools", "use of materials suitable for tools", and "standard craftsmanship". This is a patchwork cloth made from MITTAN remnants . Starting from this joint production, we can trace back to the source of the fabric scraps and introduce MITTAN clothes.
I would be happy if you could try MITTAN clothes.
