The products will be available at 44 department stores and direct-managed shops nationwide, as well as the official Sanyo Online Store. Developed in response to the normalization of extreme heat, this series pursues 'Floatable' lightness—a sensation of weightlessness. By combining hollow fibers with leno weave, the brand has further improved breathability and weight reduction. The fabric is woven in the Hokuriku region and finished in the Bishu region, combining domestic expertise to create high-quality Cool Biz wear that balances functional performance with the dignity of natural materials. The series has evolved from the popular 'Floatable Series,' which saw its 'Floatable Hollow Fiber Seersucker Jacket' become the brand's top-selling jacket in the 2025 spring/summer season. The new setup features a shirt-jacket design, home washability, and anti-odor/anti-static properties, making it versatile for business, casual, and travel use.
