What has changed? Here are the differences between the old and new product numbers
Changes in product numbers and further quality improvements
--A piece that will be loved for a long time --
Thank you very much for your continued patronage of MOONCASTLE products.
Starting this season, there have been price and detail changes to the Ice Cotton series.
Why did you change the model number and specifications?
- From the desire to "deliver something even better"
As we continue to create new products, we always think, "If we made them like this, wouldn't they be even more comfortable to wear?"
"If we just look at this a little more, I think we can create a more beautiful silhouette."
It is a never-ending pursuit of an ideal .
Although the design itself has not changed, by improving the detailed size and sewing specifications,
We wanted to develop a knitwear that is more comfortable and beautiful to wear.
In addition, there are times when rising raw material prices and other factors make it necessary to review prices.
At that time, we wanted to respond not with a simple price increase, but with an improvement in quality that was commensurate with the price .
We have now decided to make this model change.
Even better comfort and appearance.
- Small changes in specifications create a clear difference
From here on, I'd like to introduce some of the specific improvements we made in our quest to take a better photo.
◆ Change the sleeve length from "outside" to "inside"
(Left: Old part number / Right: New part number)
When reducing the number of stitches in a knitted fabric, move the reduction that was done on the outside to the inside .
This allows the overlapping stitches that are created when reducing the number of stitches to appear on the outside, creating vertical lines and natural shadows in the knitted fabric.
It adds a visually more three-dimensional look to the sleeves, creating a simple yet elegant look .
Although it is a modest detail, it conveys the craftsmanship and attention to detail of the artisans.
◆ Adjusted sleeve angle for a more natural fit
The body design has been revised and the sleeves are now shaped to have a natural angle .
This allows for smooth sewing without pulling on the fabric when sewing.
It reduces excess and sagging under the arms and around the shoulders.
It has a comfortable fit that conforms to your body and creates a beautiful silhouette .
The polo neck has been modified in particular
The polo neck, which is a representative model, has undergone major changes not only around the sleeves but also around the collar.
◆ Adjustment of the length of the placket and the button position
(Top: Old part number/Bottom: New part number)
The button placement and length of the placket have been revised to prevent the collar from becoming distorted even when the buttons are open.
The collar has been redesigned to look neat whether the garment is open or closed, further updating the impression when worn.
◆ Adjustment of collar angle and change to "stand collar" specification
The previously flat collar has been changed to a stand collar , enhancing the three-dimensional look of the collar.
(Top: Old part number/Bottom: New part number)
In addition, the collar has been redesigned to stand up perpendicular to the buttons,
The collar stands up beautifully like a shirt .
Wear it alone or under a jacket.
The collar is less likely to get crushed, maintaining a smart impression .

◆ Change the buttons to "shell buttons"
Upgraded from traditional resin buttons to natural shell buttons .
(Top: Old part number/Bottom: New part number)
The natural luster changes depending on the angle of the light.
It adds sophistication and depth to minimalist designs.
◆You can feel the difference when you actually wear it.
By changing the specifications, not only has the sleeve area become more beautiful, but the size balance has also been revised, and the sleeve length has been increased by about 1 cm.
The photo below shows our staff trying on the old and new items.

It's all for the sake of "the difference you can see when you try it on."
Our goal was to improve not only the appearance, but also the comfort and impression when worn .
You can see the new and old product numbers at our direct stores.
And when you get it in your hands,
I would be happy if you could feel the difference.
Well, that's all for today.
