Five garments finished with the Nidom process. Two materials are used: an original herringbone fabric and a Supima cotton twill. From yarn selection to dyeing, weaving, and finishing, each step is carried out in Japan to bring out the inherent qualities of the material. The resulting textures are carried directly into the garments.

An original herringbone fabric developed for CONFECT. The warp uses triple-twisted compact yarn for a dense, clean surface, while the weft combines linen and cotton-silk to increase the linen ratio. Sulfur-dyed warp and reactive-dyed weft create variations in fading, adding depth over time. Finished with a Nidom bio process, the fabric retains structure while gaining softness and drape.

A Supima cotton twill with fiber lengths over 35mm. Light peach brushing introduces a subtle texture, followed by liquid ammonia and Nidom processing to refine the fibers and enhance softness. The finish balances a smooth surface with a natural, relaxed feel.

A high-density cotton gabardine woven in Hamamatsu. The fabric uses chambray construction, combining muted warp tones with brighter weft colors, creating subtle depth beneath the surface. While gabardine typically has a firm structure and a refined sheen, this fabric undergoes extended Nidom processing and washer finishing to introduce softness and a more relaxed character. The result is a fabric that balances structure with a worn-in, natural texture.

The Nidom process involves extended washing with mechanical movement. It softens high-density fabric while maintaining its structure, creating natural drape and surface variation. Rather than a final step, it functions as part of the material’s development.

The materials are shaped into five garments, each designed to reflect their characteristics. Silhouettes and details allow the fabric’s movement and texture to emerge, evolving further with wear.
