Dissecting fashion

TWILL fabric of the early Ken fashion

These are the unique classifications that I’ve divided the early Ken fabric into SATIN, TWILL, and PLAIN by weaving.

Not just for sewing, these fabrics also would have been ‘Made in Japan’ from the stage when the fabric was manufactured, many of the fabrics here would have been custom weaves for Ken.

however it’s almost impossible to clarify the exact material, also the thickness of thread is unknown. only ‘weaving’ could be distinguished just by looking. so this is a rough classification though, I did what I can do now. the fabric varies slightly depending on the production lot, so I’ve tried to investigate as many numbers as possible for each outfit. the fabrics below are all TWILL weaves.

ここでは初期のケンの衣装を生地の織りによって分類する方法でサテン、ツイル、平織に分けています。

彼等の初期の衣装は縫製だけでなく、生地の段階から日本で生産されていた、多くの生地が特別に織られていたと思います。

しかし、その正確な素材を知ることはほとんど不可能です、またそれぞれの糸の太さもわかりません。見るだけで区別が可能なのは’織’だけです、ですので私の分類方法は不完全ですが、いま出来ることをやりました。生地は生産ロットにより多少の違いがあるため、それぞれの衣装にたいして可能な限り多くの数を調べました。ここで紹介している生地はすべてツイル織です。
