KANEMASA PHIL.

An original knitwear brand established in 2021 under Kanemasa Meriyasu, a Wakayama-based circular knitting manufacturer founded in 1964. The brand’s concept, "Future Classic/Future Vintage," focuses on creating knitwear that remains timeless and continues to provide comfort to the wearer throughout the years. All products are made entirely in-house, from sourcing raw materials to knitting, dyeing, and final production. Kanemasa’s commitment to forward-looking investments in technology has led to the development of custom high-gauge jacquard circular knitting machines, capable of producing some of the highest gauge knit fabrics in the world with gauges ranging from 36G to 46G, a density previously unheard of. This high-quality knit fabric has been supplied to numerous designer and maison brands both in Japan and internationally. The brand's hallmark is not only its state-of-the-art knitting equipment but also the craftsmanship of skilled artisans who masterfully operate these machines. This synergy between advanced technology and traditional craftsmanship allows Kanemasa to produce unparalleled high-gauge knits. By establishing KANEMASA PHIL., the company aims to preserve and showcase these artisanal skills for future generations while bringing their unique knitwear to a broader audience.
