Recommended Wear Season: Fall to Spring (November to February) Introducing "Optima Merino Jersey," the latest fabric innovation from Soto Co., a leading dyeing and processing company based in Owari, Aichi Prefecture, and a key player in the MOVB brand development.
At the heart of Optima Merino Jersey is the exceptionally rare and fine Merino wool known as "SUPER 140's." This high-grade wool, measuring a delicate 16.5 microns, is typically reserved for the most luxurious suit fabrics. Of all the Merino wool produced annually, only 4% qualifies as SUPER 140's, making it a truly exclusive material. We have transformed this exquisite wool into a jersey fabric, traditionally used in sportswear, to create a product that marries comfort with luxury.
The result is a fabric that offers the stretch and comfort of a jersey, enhanced with the sumptuous texture and sheen of SUPER 140's. This superior cloth is the culmination of Soto's century-long legacy in fabric processing.
