- Brand Story -
The making of THE INDUSTRY WORKS
THE INDUSTRY WORKS creates Banshu woven shirts. The thread is first dyed, then woven in the "saki-zome" method, so that you can enjoy the beautiful color and high quality of the fabric. Our team of professionals takes on the process of design, warping, weaving, cutting, sewing, finishing, and packaging to create each shirt. We will continue to build on these detailed and careful techniques to create each shirt and deliver it to you.
The manufacturing process of THE INDUSTRY WORKS shirts
01 Warping
Warping is the process of arranging the warp threads by color to realize the pattern of the fabric. After winding, the warp threads are brought to the weaving factory.
02Weaving
Weaving is the process of placing warped threads on a loom, and weaving through the weft threads to realize the pattern of the fabric. This completes the woven fabric. After this, it is finished to the desired texture at the final factory.
03Cutting
Cutting refers to cutting the fabric accurately according to the pattern. It is done carefully by our specialized cutting staff.
04 Sewing
This refers to "making clothes" by sewing the cut parts together with a sewing machine. They are carefully tailored by sewers in our factory.
05 Finishing
Attachments such as buttons, labels are affixed to the sewn products, and wrinkles are smoothed out with a hand iron or press. The finishing process is carefully conducted to create an even more beautiful final product.
06 Packaging
We package the products in a box stamped with THE INDUSTRY WORKS logo. The quality of the product is delivered simply, without excessive packaging. We value direct delivery from the production area, and deliver them one by one to their new owners.
