SOLAMENT™
Concept Models
A project that embodies the functionalities and vision of SOLAMENT™,
exploring new forms of fashion.
Mechanism of SOLAMENT™
SOLAMENT™ absorbs near-infrared light, such as that contained in sunlight, and generates heat, thereby demonstrating value through various functionalities.
When touching the heat-generating surface, the material feels warm.
Conversely, the side that absorbs and generates heat is less likely to transmit heat, resulting in a cooling effect.
In the case of manufacturing heat-blocking fabrics,
combining yarns utilizing SOLAMENT™ with yarns that reflect light enhances the heat-blocking effectiveness.
By adjusting the fabric composition according to the application, it becomes possible to meet a wide range of needs.

HOPE WEAR
Freeing people from heat
This project sheds light on new possibilities in fashion
by cutting near-infrared light, which is known to cause heat fatigue,
and further lowering the temperature inside clothing.
Focusing on the enjoyment and lifestyles
that are gradually being lost due to global boiling,
we have collaborated with the speculative fashion laboratory Synflux
to create an apparel prototype that protects and
restores the daily life and culture surrounding us.
HOPE WEAR
for Farm
Type A
Making life with farming sustainable.
A new agricultural wear that turns the sun into an ally.
By harnessing the technology of KUCHOFUKU,
it amplifies the heat-blocking power of SOLAMENT™.
Not only for agriculture, but for everyone working under the sun.

Structure and Function
The large volume of air drawn into the clothing by the fans of KUCHOFUKU creates a substantial space between the skin and fabric, maximizing SOLAMENT™’s heat-blocking effectiveness.
By significantly blocking near-infrared light and allowing airflow to promote sweat evaporation, it achieves a temperature reduction of up to 19.3°C* compared to standard workwear.
*Based on a comparative temperature test conducted under direct sunlight (company’s own measurement).
HOPE WEAR
for Play
Bringing freedom back to play.
To free outdoor play for children, no longer limited by heat.
By layering with pleated fabric,
plenty of air is trapped, providing a cooling effect beyond appearances.

HOPE WEAR
for Culture
Keeping summer and tradition alive.
To protect the cherished traditions and scenes
that are beginning to fade under the heat.
We merge the straight-line patterns unique to Japanese attire
with bold designs that invite airflow.
Bringing the innovation of comfort to the beauty of traditional clothing.

Structure and Function
With a two-layer fabric structure, it delivers a remarkable
heat-blocking effect. The outer layer features SOLAMENT™,
which significantly cuts near-infrared light.
The inner layer uses pleated mesh fabric to create space between the skin and the surface, enhancing the performance of SOLAMENT™ and achieving a temperature reduction of up to 3.6°C* compared to standard products.
*Based on a comparative temperature test conducted under direct sunlight (company’s own measurement).
