The production of BONCOURA's suspender-style knitwear does not begin with the process of knitting the fabric using a suspender knitting machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just like denim, we choose the raw cotton, consider which cotton to combine in what proportion, and design the thickness of the thread and the twist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The manufacturing process begins even before a single piece of fabric is created, from the stage of raw cotton itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal is not just to use the traditional hanging knitting machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What texture, what color, and how will the fabric blend with the body when worn?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result of accumulating the necessary items one by one, we have the BONCOURA hanging hoodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think from the cottonseed perspective<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cotton differs in its properties depending on the source and variety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The length, thickness, strength, and softness of the fibers.
And the color of the raw cotton itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many cottons that have been given names and become known as brands, but what BONCOURA values most is not the name itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What properties does that cotton actually have?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What kind of yarn and fabric will it become?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And what kind of clothes do you want to make from that fabric?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We imagine the finished item in our minds, selecting the necessary materials from among the numerous raw materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is not necessary to create an ideal fabric from just one type of raw material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How many combinations can be made?
What percentage of each is combined?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The choice and combination of cottonseed also significantly change the texture, feel, and color of the fabric.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

From cotton bale to thread<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cotton grown in the field is processed after harvesting, and the seeds are removed through a process called ginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that, we remove the foreign matter, break down the fibers, and prepare them for spinning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open the compressed cotton bale, untangle the tangled fibers, and gradually bring it closer to the state where the threads can be formed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From here, the process of making threads as desired by BONCOURA begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the card process, fibers are broken down while the flow is adjusted, and then they are collected into a bundle-like state called a slimer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At BONCOURA, we consider color and texture from the very first stage of mixing these ingredients together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By combining cotton with different textures and colors, we create depth that cannot be achieved with a single color.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
