We are currently holding the IRENISA event, but in August we held the nonnotte event.
I'm sure some of you remember, but at the time, in addition to the brand's in-line products, we also sold a blouson named "LT" as a "special order."
The jacket that became the basis for this "special order" was included in the collection.
At first glance, I found it difficult to fully grasp what the blouson was made of; the first things that caught my eye were the "large amount of back gathers" and "back darts."
When you wear it, the design isn't extreme and it fits quite well, but when you consider its construction it is quite incredible.
That's the kind of jacket it was.
And the inline version is available in two colors.
Almondine and Deep Black.
As for Deep Black, I have no complaints about it so I'll leave it as is.
For Almondine, I decided to bring out a more distinctive nuance that is more characteristic of nonnotte's Sugihara-san and me.
The type and colour of the buttons on this Almondine blouson were changed to make it a "mini-custom".
Nonnotte's Sugihara designs and shapes the clothes himself, using a unique clothing structure that is actually made using fabrics from Kaneta Textiles.
This is definitely going to be a good one.
Being convinced of this, I placed my order.
However, it turned out that it wasn't ready in time for the event in August.
Therefore, we quickly put samples on display in stores and offered advance orders to anyone who was interested.
And now it's finally completed.
It arrived at our store the other day.
During the event in August, we only had the items on display in the store for two days, but most of the orders we received were fulfilled, so they are rarely on display in the store anymore.
However, since we had ordered a fair quantity, we ended up having just a small amount of free stock on display in the store.
That said, we only have two items in stock of any one size at most.
So, this is the blog I wanted to share with you today.

Draping Bias Sleeve Blouson
Material: 100% COTTON (Kaneta Textiles)
Color: Almondine
size_3,4,5
Do you all remember?
This one.
With a slight pink hue and an incredible touch, this moleskin is soft yet strong.
It is safe to say that moleskin could not have been made anywhere other than by Kaneta Orimono, with whom nonnotte's Sugihara regularly works on fabric development.
This "super structure" blouson has been created with the incredible magic of Sugihara by eliminating the transitions between the side seams and center back, and the transitions between the body and armholes.
When I attend exhibitions, if I see clothing that I think is amazing, I will give it my best and praise directly to the brand on the spot, and the same was true with this blouson.
During the exhibition, I conveyed my high praise to Sugihara-san, and this was actually reflected in the number of orders.
This "small custom order" has the buttons changed to "half-baked buffalo horn (bone)", but these buttons are quite expensive.
However, Sugihara from nonnotte made it happen, helping us elevate our clothes to even greater levels of popularity.
A blouson with no shoulder seam or armholes.
There are no armholes in the back either.
Large back darts across both shoulder blades.
This works to hold up the large amount of gathers against gravity, allowing the gathered fabric to continue to draw a beautiful outline without sagging.
This blouson has almost no seams, creating an incredibly beautiful design.
I remember being absolutely blown away when I saw it for the first time.
Who else could make clothes like this?
Seriously, it's superhuman, including the color.
Who else would make clothes in a color like this, in 100% cotton, with such nuanced colors?
This is none other than the creative talent of nonnotte's designer, Sugihara.
Well, I think I introduced it a little on this blog during the event in August, so I hope you will take a look at that, but today I'd like you to take another look at the photos of me wearing it.
this.
In this photo, I am 167cm tall, weigh 52kg and am wearing a medium size 4.
It's a short-length jacket with sharp arms, even among nonnotte's jackets, so I think size 4 is not a bad choice.
However, I did go up a size so the sleeves are a little long.
The gathers on the back are clearly visible from the darts to the hem.
In the photo I'm wearing a mid-gauge sweater as an inner layer, but I think you'll be able to wear it comfortably whether it's a size 4 or 3.
It has a single layer and no lining, so I think you'll be able to fully experience the charm of Kaneta's moleskin.

Signature Baggy Trousers
Material: 100% COTTON (Kaneta Textiles)
Color: Almondine

Here.
This is also a moleskin from Kaneta Orimono.
The buttons are the same as the previous blouson.
These are genius pants made using moleskin fabric from a shuttle loom.
The specifications are as shown in the photo, but what's amazing about these pants is that you can't see the shape of the "legs" inside the pants at all.
These pants make it impossible to tell where the base of the leg ends, where the legs begin, or what the body lines of the legs and buttocks are.
In other words, as long as you wear them in the right size, they will create the beautiful shape that nonnotte's Sugihara envisioned.
Moreover, by using the moleskin fabric horizontally, a slight stiffness is added to the fabric, giving the pants a clearer shape.
They may look simple at first glance, but once you understand these pants, your concept of pants will change.
Because that's what I did.
this.
She is 167cm tall, weighs 52kg and wears a size 3.
Can you see that you can't see the lines of her legs at all under her clothes?
When viewed from the side, the buttocks look relatively compact, yet still fit well and have the desired outline.
The design is such that the fabric of the clothing moves from the top of the buttocks down to the feet, completely separating them from the feet.
The new pants have a great center crease, making them look like skinny pants, but they're not that skinny.
It is combined with the same color as the blouson mentioned earlier.
Here.
In the previous photo, I was wearing a size 4 for the blouson, but in this photo I'm wearing a size 3.
If you compare them, you'll notice that it's a little more compact.
It's a beautiful design.
Even though there are no armholes, the shape of your arms is visible from your shoulders.
A miracle.
Well, whether you wear it as a set or not is a matter of personal preference, so I don't really care, but I think it's a nice item.

Draping Bias Sleeve Blouson
Material: 100% COTTON (Kaneta Textiles)
color _ Deep Black
size_5
By the way, this is also available in the Deep Black color version.
Black moleskin can easily get sunburned even in just one winter season, and some can quickly turn brown, but this Deep Black color eliminates that problem.
The deep black color is what makes new moleskin so appealing - its "unchanging black."
What made this possible was the amazing quality of Kaneta's moleskin.
I also wear a size 4.
The number of orders for the Deep Black color was smaller than for the Almondine color, so there is only one free stock of 5 at the time of delivery.
This is the largest size, but if your build fits it, we would appreciate it if you would consider it.
This completes nonnotte's Fall/Winter 2024 season.
If you like it, please watch it again.
