KEPANI
A Japanese sweatshirt brand founded in 2006. The brand focuses on brushed-back sweatshirts created from carefully selected yarns and specialized manufacturing methods, along with sweat-fabric hoodies, jackets, gloves, and other essentials.





Comfortable fabric with distinctive character
Inspired by the pique fabric once used by the Swedish military, this pique knit is crafted from raffy yarn. Its pronounced texture and dry hand provide a cool, comfortable feel, even in warm and humid conditions.



What is raffy yarn?
Raffy yarn is made by spinning together cotton and recycled fibers, often called fallen cotton. KEPANI’s raffy yarn combines extra-long staple Turfan cotton with fallen fibers from Giza American cotton. Its subtle luster and distinctive mélange—achieved by adding unevenness to the black yarn—give the fabric a unique depth and character.




Fresh, relaxed design
The skipper-style neckline opens just enough to create a light, summery impression. Reinforcement tape is applied inside the neckline and placket, enhancing durability while preventing stretching around the collar.



The brand’s woven label at the left hem adds a subtle accent.







A relaxed silhouette for adult comfort
The wide, raglan-sleeve design offers a stress-free fit with no restriction, giving an effortlessly laid-back vibe.

While loose, the carefully balanced length maintains a clean, refined look, avoiding an overly casual or sloppy impression.
