Let’s start with T-shirts.
Hello.
This is Ishibashi from cliché.
cantáte 26AW started on Saturday.
From here, fall and winter new arrivals will gradually begin appearing in the store.
Even so, it's this hot.
“I still can't imagine fall and winter...”
I think many of you feel the same way.
That is why we will begin by introducing immediately wearable, ready-to-go pieces.

“Essential S/S Tee”
SIZE : 44 , 46 , 48 , 50
¥27,500 TAX IN
A simple plain T-shirt.
Yet it is not merely a plain T-shirt.
The material, the feel when worn, and the design considered down to every detail.
It is first-rate in every respect and could be called one of the definitive forms of the plain T-shirt.
Honestly, I have never been this moved by a plain T-shirt.
With this T-shirt, the quickest way to understand it is simply to try it on rather than explain it in words.
That is how confidently we can recommend it.
Of course, it is also packed with meticulous details, such as a neckline designed to resist stretching and sleeve length and angles calculated to move naturally with you.
But above all, what we want you to feel is the sensation against your skin the moment you put it on.
Please experience its astonishingly smooth touch, unlike anything you have felt in a T-shirt before.
— 36-Gauge Suvin Cotton Jersey —
The material is made from a special selection of high-quality Suvin cotton, limited to specific growing plots and picked first.
Knitting it at an extremely dense 36 gauge produces a fabric that combines a moist smoothness with a moderate crispness.
As Matsushima often says, what he most wants to convey about this T-shirt is not its specifications but the feeling the moment you put it on.
“When I first put it on, I couldn't help but say something out loud.”
They say they are confident enough in this hand feel to talk about it at such length.
Once you actually wear it, you immediately understand what that means.
Because it has virtually no surface fuzz, it does not cling to the skin even in sweaty weather, offering an amazingly light and dry feel.
When I first wore it, I was honestly surprised by how different a plain T-shirt could be.
Once you have this, you won't need any other T-shirts.
It may sound a little exaggerated, but this is a piece that makes you understand those words.
And this season, there is another style as well.

”Essential Heavy S/S Tee”
SIZE : 44 , 46 , 48 , 50
¥29,700 TAX IN
If you prefer heavyweight T-shirts, this is the one for you.
Its moderate thickness means it never feels insubstantial when worn alone.
Even in white, you can wear it without worrying about transparency, so it is more than enough on its own in midsummer.
It is simple, yet it completes your styling on its own.
This T-shirt has been carefully calibrated down to the smallest details so that “heavy T” does not simply evoke a rugged image.
The substantial thickness of the fabric is clear from its appearance, but the shoulders and chest have not been given any unnecessary volume, resulting in a naturally balanced silhouette.
That is why, although it has a strong presence when worn on its own, it comes together with an understated elegance.
Toughness and delicacy.
It is a heavy T that lets you truly feel both qualities, in cantáte's distinctive style.
— 22-Gauge Suvin Cotton Jersey —
The material used is the same first-pick Suvin cotton as in the "Essential S/S Tee".
However, knitting it at 22 gauge gives it a firmer texture and a moderate weight.
Matsushima also said, “I didn't want to make a heavy, weighty T-shirt.”
The aim was to create a heavy T-shirt that offers thickness and a sense of reassurance without becoming too rugged.
That is why, the moment you put one on, what you feel is not stiffness but the moist softness unique to Suvin cotton.
They are thick, yet surprisingly smooth.
I think this contrast is part of what makes these T-shirts so appealing.
The plain T-shirts introduced by cantáte this season are two styles that use the same material yet each have an entirely different character.
If you would rather enjoy greater suppleness and smoothness, choose the "Essential S/S Tee".
If you prefer the sense of reassurance when worn on its own and a moderate weight, choose the "Essential Heavy S/S Tee".
You can't go wrong with either, but your preference will surely depend on your taste.
The hot days have begun.
Start with T-shirts and enjoy cantáte 26AW.
