French Sleeve C
What's a "C" Product?
Our “C” products are offered at discounted prices because they are old versions, discontinued, or they do not meet our quality standard though they are fully functional.
The Reason of “C”: Spirality
Spirality is the fabric’s tendency of twisting to a certain direction. If this occurs, the garment looks like it is slightly twisting. In our 2022 version 100% Merino Light series, the twisted fabric will be untwisted and restored to a certain degree after the line-dry. However, in some products in Charcoal Marl and Gray Marl colors, the extent of spirality exceeded our standard, and therefore, we categorize these two colors as “C” products and offer them at a 20% discount.
Please note that we are unable to accept a return because of the spirality if used and washed.
How We Found the Issue
Before the mass production, we conducted the sampling inspection and confirmed that the frequency and extent of the spirality were within our quality standard. After the mass production, however, we conducted the sampling inspection again and confirmed that some products in Gray Marl and Charcoal Marl colors deviated from our quality standard.
How the Spirality Looks Like

Instructions
Tumble-drying
Tumble-drying is NOT recommended for this item, as it may cause twisting and shrinkage. However, it can be tumble-dried at your own risk if you do not mind the spirality (twisting)*.
*It will be untwisted and restored to a certain extent after it is washed again and line-dried.
The tumble-drying may cause shrinkage and the length may be shortened by about 2-3cm, but it will be restored after being washed again and line-dried.

Repair
A natural fiber, merino wool has wonderful properties such as excellent temperature and humidity control and deodorant performances, but it also has a weakness; yarns are likely to break and develop holes due to abusive use and moth eating.
For inquiries on repairing holes or products damaged over time, please feel free to contact us from the “Repair” section of the SUPPORT page.
Needle Felting
Holes in merino wool cut-and-sewn products caused by thread breakage or moth bites can be repaired by felting, a technique to patch the hole with the raw wool using a special needle. You can repair by yourself, and Yamatomichi also offers felting repair services using raw wool of the same color as the product.
