Kyoto-based Brand KIMONOMACHI Launches New "Original Washable Men's Ro Summer Kimono"

Hosai Co., Ltd.'s subsidiary, the Kyoto-based Japanese clothing brand KIMONOMACHI (Kyoto Kimonomachi Co., Ltd., Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture, Representative Director: Kazufumi Kubomura), will launch its new original product, the "Washable Ro Summer Kimono," on April 28th at its Japanese clothing online shop "Kyoto Kimonomachi." This highly anticipated summer-specific single-layer kimono, made from "Ro" fabric, joins the popular series of washable men's kimonos. Its ease of care, being washable at home, and its extensive size range from S to LL, comfortably support men's summer fashion and kimono lifestyle. Sales will commence on April 28th via the online store.

## Background of "Ro Men's Kimono" Development

KIMONOMACHI's "Washable Men's Kimono" series has garnered widespread support and steadily increased sales due to its rich size variation from S to 3L and the convenience of being machine-washable at home. Building on this strong performance, and with an eye on further market share expansion in the men's Japanese clothing market and acquiring new users, the company decided to enhance its product lineup for the summer season.
(※The size range for this product is S to LL)

Responding to strong customer demand for washable materials even for thin summer garments, the company adopted polyester material, similar to its lined washable men's kimonos. This new item is thus being launched as a comfortable choice for summer, even when sweating.

## About "Ro" Plain Kimono

According to traditional Japanese clothing rules, sheer "Ro" kimonos are designated for midsummer, specifically July and August.
"Ro" fabric is characterized by its gaps, known as "Rome," which provide excellent breathability and an elegant sheerness.
Plain "Iromuji" kimonos without crests are perfect for casual wear or town wear, suitable for cafes, lunches, or shopping.
Paired with a haori jacket, they create a smart casual outfit suitable for theater performances or dinner gatherings.
