The FF30 Gauge Cardigan is crafted by one of Japan's top knit manufacturers located in Niigata, using the rare "FF30G" knitting machine, of which only one exists in the country. "FF" stands for Full Fashion, a knitting technique that precisely adjusts the number of stitches to create a three-dimensional, form-fitting garment. This ensures the cardigan resists stretching out of shape and provides a natural, comfortable fit. The fine 30-gauge knitting creates a refined, high-quality texture.

The collar, hem, and other components are carefully sewn using a linking machine by skilled artisans, ensuring stretch retention for comfort and easy wear.

The yarn used is the rare "Super 120 Super Extra Fine Merino," a high-grade wool. This, combined with the FF30G knitting technique, offers unparalleled comfort and a luxurious feel.

Its thin and smooth fabric prevents bulkiness, making it ideal for layering, particularly in business settings where it pairs well with sleek worsted wool suits.

Super Extra Fine Merino

Typical fine Merino wool measures 20–21 microns, while extra-fine Merino is around 18.5–19.5 microns. This cardigan uses an even rarer 17.5-micron Merino wool, known as Super Extra Fine Merino, which offers a premium level of softness and quality.

A luxurious knit collection crafted using the rare FF30G (Gauge), offering the highest level of quality. In addition to the lightweight, stress-free comfort unique to knitwear, this piece delivers a smooth and delicate feel against the skin, providing an exceptional wearing experience.

What is FF30G?


FF stands for "Full Fashion machine," a rare knitting machine of which only a few exist in Japan. It allows for increasing and decreasing stitches while knitting, creating shapes that conform to the curves of collars and sleeves during the knitting process. This results in a garment that fits the body perfectly. The fabric, densely knit, is thin yet firm, making it resistant to losing its shape.


To create the finest knitwear with FF30G, the quality of the materials is crucial. Poor-quality materials can lead to difficulties in knitting, broken threads, or coarse stitches, which diminish the visual appeal.

The Super120 Super Extra Fine Merino wool used in this piece offers a luxurious feel along with moisture-wicking, insulation, and breathability. When this yarn is knit with FF30G, it results in a smooth texture and an elegant sheen, producing what can be described as a "dress knit," akin to the refinement of a dress shirt.

(G refers to the density of the knitting machine's needles. Knits of 12G and higher are considered "high gauge," and as the gauge increases, the fabric becomes more refined and dressy.)

The highlight is the ribbed sections on the collar and hem. With regular sewing machines, the stretchiness of the fabric may be compromised when stitched together.

To prevent this, a special technique called linking is used to connect the ribbing and the main fabric, preserving the natural flexibility of the knit. Linking is a meticulous process where a needle passes through each stitch individually to join the pieces.

This is especially labor-intensive for FF30G due to its extremely fine stitches, requiring artisans to thread each stitch by hand. This level of craftsmanship and time investment makes FF30G a symbol of luxury in high-gauge knitwear.

STYLE

The finely textured knit unique to FF30G pairs exceptionally well with formal attire. In business settings, it enhances a sophisticated and refined look when combined with glossy suits or jackets.

At the same time, it boasts versatility, seamlessly matching with casual items like denim or chinos. This makes it a garment that can effortlessly elevate a wide range of styles, from formal to casual.
