The key to the finishing process of Omi Chijimi is its crinkling treatment.
For summer garments, maximizing coolness is essential.
Instead of the fabric directly touching the skin, the raised,
crinkled shapes in the fabric allows air to flow between the garment and skin,
enhancing the feeling of coolness.
The wrinkles formed by handwork not only provide a refreshing look but also reduce the concern of wrinkles after wearing,
as the material is prone to wrinkling and pre-treated with the crinkling process.
To maintain the crinkling effect, use a steam iron on a moderate temperature and lightly press over a cloth.
This product has been chijimi (wrinkle) treated.
There may be some shrinkage after washing,
which is a natural property of the fabric.
It is also made of natural materials and may result
in color fading or color transfer due to moisture, sweat, or friction.
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, ultraviolet rays, and fluorescent lighting.
Store in a well-ventilated area.
