Knits^GICIPI / Calamaro Mock neck Relaxed fit Knit and sew

Knit and sewn with a refined feel
This knit and sewn has a softer texture than regular pique knitting. It is also highly breathable and feels light on the skin even on hot and humid days, making it an attractive and comfortable piece to wear.

The comfort of these products, carefully crafted piece by piece at a small factory in Italy, is truly “addictive” once you put them on. It is an item that will accompany you comfortably in your daily life and is recommended for long-lasting use.

GICIPI
The company was founded in 1948 as an Italian cut-and-sew brand. The company’s production process, from fabric knitting to sewing and washing, is carried out in-house, and by integrating the production process, it continues to provide high-quality, reasonably-priced products.

Excellent breathability and soft feel
The fabric is made of 100% cotton with excellent breathability and moisture absorption properties. The knitted fabric is called “Nido D’Ape”, a honeycomb pique knit. It is softer than pique knitting, and its elasticity allows it to fit more comfortably on the body without feeling constrictive.

The unique unevenness of the knit minimizes the surface area in contact with the skin, and the light texture and excellent breathability are appealing. It is comfortable to wear even during the spring and summer seasons when you tend to sweat easily. In addition, since the fabric is watered and dried during the production process, it does not shrink easily, which is another great point.

Elegant appearance that can be worn alone
The bottle neck, which creates a classy atmosphere, sharpens the look around the face.

The exquisite contrast between the 2×2 ribbed knitting at the collar, cuffs, and hem and the body fabric creates a sense of luxury.

In addition, the shoulder seams have been shifted back slightly to create a clean look when viewed from the front.

Simple look that is easy to wear
The silhouette has a relaxed feel with generous shoulder and body width. Comfortable to wear and simple enough to be styled in any way, it can be worn in a variety of ways. Wear it alone or coordinate it with a jacket item.

Gicipi’s unique manufacturing method
The linking (sewing unique to flat knitting) is eliminated and the ribs at the neck, sleeves, and hem are knitted in succession, providing a comfortable fit without snagging.

This is a very time-consuming manufacturing process in which the fabric is knitted one piece at a time in order to prioritize comfort and elegance.

This method is not often used for casual wear, but it is possible only with Gicipi, a company that creates its own fabrics, and it is a piece that is full of attention to detail.
