1. Recovery Function by Original Material 'Ceramea'
'Ceramea', embedded in key areas of this item, is a technology originally developed to maintain the freshness of perishable foods. By giving objects a negative charge, it repels oxygen, which also has a negative charge, fundamentally suppressing oxidation (= aging and deterioration).
The greatest feature is that patches kneaded with the functional ceramics 'Ceramea' are placed in four locations: both shoulders and both sides of the lower back, which are key points for blood flow. Ceramea has the property of generating negative electrons semi-permanently, and experiments suggest effects such as promoting blood circulation through micro-vibrations of electricity, antioxidant effects, and making the parasympathetic nervous system dominant.
When measuring negative ions (molecules with attached electrons), it registers 126 on Ceramea compared to a normal value of 8.
2. Carefully Crafted Jersey Material by Wakayama's Established 'Kanemasa Makudai'
The fabric uses a jersey material from Kanemasa Makudai that combines firmness with rich elasticity. An unstructured tailored finish that omits even the sleeve lining achieves a stress-free comfortable fit even when sitting for long periods, while maintaining the beautiful, stylish dignity unique to MEN'S BIGI.
Lightweight, stress-free comfort. Highly stretchy fabric.
3. Simultaneous Release: Super Cooling Recovery Short-Sleeve T-shirt
A 'Special Order Recovery Short-Sleeve T-shirt', perfect as an inner layer for the jacket, is also being released simultaneously. It uses a special plated jersey fabric with contact cooling, UV cut, and heat-shielding effects, and a Ceramea patch is placed on the nape of the neck. It features a slightly roomy, clean silhouette that fits perfectly under the jacket.
