Shape-Memory Core Maintains 3D Form After Washing
Noguchi Knit, celebrating its 90th anniversary, is an Osaka-based company specializing in soft knit products that leverage the characteristics of weft knitting. In preparation for the upcoming summer, they have introduced pre-orders for the "Quick-Dry, 3D-Fit & Shape-Memory Knit Mask." This mask utilizes a cotton blend yarn that, compared to 100% cotton, absorbs and releases moisture more quickly, ensuring comfort.
Available in five colors—white, beige, pink, blue, and gray—and a women's free size, the mask boasts a high degree of design sensibility, making it suitable not only for daily wear but also for light exercise such as walking.
Instead of cutting and sewing fabric, the mask is knitted three-dimensionally, one piece at a time, on a seamless knitting machine. The design incorporates a curve around the mouth and integrates the ear straps, creating a fit that is gentle on the ears and conforms closely to the face. Furthermore, a special structure featuring a softly processed core material inserted vertically ensures the knit's comfortable fit and breathability while preventing the mouth area from showing through, thus flattering the facial line.
Unlike wire, the core material is soft and shape-memory, meaning it returns to its original form without retaining creases even if folded, making it convenient for carrying. Additionally, this knit mask is machine washable and dries quickly when air-dried in the shade. A small, dedicated laundry net is also included for convenient washing and care.
