The original returns. An evolved "Chimera Skin® Coat."
Spring 2021.
The advanced material, "Chimaera Skin®," was born as the origin of MOONRAKERS.
This time, we have updated the "Chimaera Skin® Coat," the first garment made from this material, and are bringing it to you once again.
Sales will begin on Thursday, September 3, at 12:00 PM (noon) at the MOONRAKERS online shop.
MOONRAKERS, from the beginning, once again.
______________________________
"Chimaera Skin®" was MOONRAKERS' first hit product and an early driving force for us.
Many of our early fans still associate MOONRAKERS with Chimaera Skin.
It boasts overwhelming functionality in water repellency, water pressure resistance, and windproofing. Furthermore, while possessing the high-quality feel of leather or oiled cotton, it is surprisingly thin, light, and compact. Moreover, it is tough and long-lasting in all situations.
It can handle sudden rain or wind and also serves as a simple raincoat.
"Chimaera Skin®," which condenses so many charms into a single fabric, received a tremendous response when it launched in 2021.
However, due to its innovative nature, production was extremely difficult, and we had to temporarily discontinue this material.
Nevertheless, we continued to receive requests from you, saying, "I want to wear Chimaera again" and "Please re-release it."
Encouraged by your voices, we spent three years to successfully reproduce it again, and last winter, it was revived as the "Chimaera Skin® Mods Coat."
And now.
The stand-collar coat, which symbolizes the original Chimaera Skin®, is back again.
It should allow even those who have recently become fans to experience the origins of MOONRAKERS once more.
A simple yet beautiful A-line silhouette with raglan sleeves. MOONRAKERS' unique minimalism, blending naturally from everyday wear to business, regardless of gender or style.
An understated, simple appearance and astonishing functionality.
In addition, with carefully tailored side slits and detailed stitching, we aimed for the "ultimate all-rounder" that suits all occasions, from business to leisure, travel, and sports.
Not having to worry about what to wear in the morning.
Being able to meet people without worrying about sweat.
Lighter luggage for business trips and travel.
Dries quickly after washing, reducing ironing time.
We hope this polo shirt can help reduce small daily stresses and make your life more comfortable.
MOON-TECH® nature Short Tops
Naturally and lightly, every day.
"We want products for women too."
The continuous requests from everyone became the catalyst for MOONRAKERS' challenge into its first women's item.
"MOON-TECH® nature Short Tops" was born with the aim of creating a piece of clothing that maintains the comfort of the advanced "MOON-TECH®" material, while being more natural, lighter, and naturally fitting into women's daily lives.
After the Makuake delivery,
"I was surprised by the quality of the functionality and feel."
"It's so comfortable and stress-free, I wear it almost every day."
We received truly delightful feedback like these.
Its light and airy feel doesn't constrict the body. It's smooth and comfortable even on sweaty days, and dries quickly after washing, so you'll naturally find yourself reaching for it more often.
Reducing the time spent choosing clothes on hot days, making every day a little lighter and more comfortable.
This item, which began with your voices, has led to a second dress, and new challenges ahead.
May your summer be as comfortable and pleasant as possible.
With that in mind, we would like to deliver these two products to you.

MOONRAKERS × WWS | Invincible Pocket T-Shirt | Restock Alert - Introducing New Material "NEO BLACK"!
Today, we are happy to announce that we have restocked the WWS collaboration items that many of you have inquired about:
"MOON-TECH® Oversized Pocket Tee"
"MOON-TECH® Oversized Tee"
These items are now back in stock.
These popular collaboration items have been restocked many times and continue to be chosen and loved by many.
One of the reasons for their popularity is the unique WWS silhouette design.
While having a relaxed, modern oversized fit, the balance is exquisite, ensuring it never looks too loose. The neckline creates a comfortable, relaxed feel, and the length is designed to look beautiful on its own and fit perfectly as an inner layer under a jacket.
It's a garment that, despite its simplicity, is meticulously crafted with attention to every small detail.
Of course, in addition to its beautiful silhouette, it also boasts the outstanding functionality unique to "MOON-TECH®."
It reduces daily stresses such as sweat, odor, stickiness, wrinkles, and dirt, ensuring comfortable wear throughout the day.
Furthermore, with this restock, the BLACK color now features the new material "NEO BLACK"!
Deep, beautiful black. And a soft texture.
This "NEO BLACK" is the result of repeated improvements aimed at achieving both.
It is even softer than the traditional BLACK, offering a more flexible and comfortable feel, similar to other MOON-TECH® colors. While maintaining its functionality and durability, it provides a comforting, enveloping sensation.
Additionally, we've considered the heat often associated with black clothing, especially under summer sunlight or during sports. By making it slightly less thick than other colors, it is designed to be worn more lightly even in warm seasons.
MOONRAKERS transforms daily life into a comfortable, convenient, and beautiful "future" with cutting-edge technology.
WWS has changed the way clothes are, starting with "work clothes that look like suits."
Although seemingly different, what we both aim for is a shared desire to deliver "clothes that make every day more comfortable."
That's why we bring together our respective strengths and continue to create new value that neither company could achieve alone.
And it is all of you, who always warmly support us, who continue to drive these challenges forward.
We will continue to take on challenges with you to make every day more comfortable and pleasant.

Women's Collection Part 2, brought to you by popular demand! | Moontech® Nature Dress | Makuake Project Launch Announcement
Today, we are announcing a new challenge for our women's line.
"MOON-TECH®nature Dress"
The project will launch on "Makuake" tomorrow, July 31st (Friday), at 12:00 PM (noon)!
In May of this year, we launched our first women's item, "MOON-TECH®nature Short Tops".
We started this challenge with some apprehension, wondering if MOONRAKERS' advanced technology could truly be a part of women's daily lives. The result far exceeded our expectations, with 1,116 people supporting us!
Thank you all very much once again!
And what moved us most were the incredibly passionate "voices" we received from everyone.
"Next, we want a dress."
"We want more items for women to choose from."
"I want my family and loved ones to wear them too."
"We will continue to support Japanese technology and craftsmanship."
Every member read each of these comments many times over.
The voices we received were an anticipation for our next women's item, an encouragement to us, and a support for Japanese craftsmanship.
Those voices led us to our next challenge and to the launch of this item.
"MOON-TECH®nature Dress"
It's a dress that completes your outfit effortlessly with just one piece. You can relax completely without worrying about your body line. It's utterly comfortable, yet doesn't look sloppy, allowing you to enjoy yourself freely.
What we aimed for is a dress that gently frees your daily life from clothing-related stress.
Supporting that comfort is "MOON-TECH®nature," born from advanced technology that Japan boasts to the world.
While offering a gentle texture like natural materials, it quietly reduces clothing-related stress with excessive functionality, addressing sweat, odor, transparency, stickiness, and even the hassle of care.
This time, due to the limited availability of the Nature material because of its popularity, we decided to launch despite the situation, as we really wanted everyone to see our next step within this season.
Therefore, this project is a "limited quantity" plan of 300 dresses (200 charcoal, 100 gray), with delivery scheduled for the end of September.
We apologize for the small quantity, but for those who need it, we hope you won't miss this opportunity to get one.
"MOON-TECH®nature Dress"
Our new challenge, born from your support, continues.
That step you helped us take. We hope you will see it.

MOON-TECH® Users | FAQ about Washing and Care
Summer is finally here.
Every day the heat becomes more severe. We sweat more, and laundry frequency increases.
It is precisely because of this season that we want you to truly understand the overwhelming convenience of "MOON-TECH®" and enjoy it for a long time, comfortably and beautifully.
With that in mind, today we will provide information on washing and care.
"Should I use fabric softener?"
"Can I put it in the dryer?"
"How should I deal with odors and stains that don't come out with normal washing?"
Based on the many questions we have received from you, we have compiled the most frequently asked questions into an FAQ format.
Topics introduced this time
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
・Should I use fabric softener?
・Can I use a dryer?
・Can I use bleach if I'm concerned about odors or stains?
・How can I prevent yellowing and stains on white T-shirts?
・How can I prevent pilling and snagging?
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Q. Should I use fabric softener?
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
A. We generally do not recommend using fabric softener for MOON-TECH®.
Fabric softener can inhibit the sweat-absorbing, quick-drying, deodorizing, and anti-stain properties of clothing by coating the surface of the fibers with its ingredients.
Although not widely known, this tendency applies not only to MOON-TECH® but also to functional sportswear and towels.
Furthermore, MOON-TECH® shrinks minimally after washing and does not become stiff with repeated washing, so it can generally be used comfortably without fabric softener.
Therefore, fabric softener is generally not needed for MOON-TECH®. However, if you must use fabric softener because you are washing it with other clothes, please use it sparingly.
＼POINT／
To maximize functionality, do not use fabric softener. If you must use it, use it sparingly.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Q. Can I use a dryer?
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
A. To ensure long-lasting optimal condition, we recommend refraining from using a dryer.
MOON-TECH® boasts extremely high quick-drying properties, approximately twice the level of standard quick-drying materials. We have confirmed that the moisture content is reduced to about 10% after 5-10 minutes of spinning in standard mode. Many users have praised this surprising performance, saying that it's "half-dry after spinning."
After spinning, simply reshape and hang it on a hanger; it will be wrinkle-resistant, require no ironing, and dry in an astonishingly short time. (Using a dryer takes approximately three hours from washing to complete drying, but this method completes washing in a much shorter time.)
Therefore, we recommend air-drying without using a dryer.
However, we understand that there may be situations where you have no choice but to use a dryer due to other laundry. MOON-TECH® has been tested for dryer use in such scenarios, and we have confirmed that there are no significant issues with the product. So, please be assured of that.
Nevertheless, the high heat of a dryer inevitably puts a certain amount of stress on the fibers. Also, depending on specific conditions such as differences in washing machine drying performance or overloading, it can lead to some shrinkage or permanent wrinkles. Therefore, dryer use is not recommended, and we indicate "Do not tumble dry" on the care label. We appreciate your understanding in this regard.
＼POINT／
To minimize shrinkage and stress on the fabric, avoid using a dryer. Instead, reshape and hang dry after spinning.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Q. Can I use bleach if I'm concerned about odors or stains?
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
A. For regular care, we recommend not using bleach routinely. If you are concerned about stains or odors, we recommend hand-washing the affected area by rubbing detergent into it. If you feel it's absolutely necessary to use bleach, please try oxygen bleach.
In addition, with carefully tailored side slits and detailed stitching, we aimed for the "ultimate all-rounder" that suits all occasions, from business to leisure, travel, and sports.
Not having to worry about what to wear in the morning.
Being able to meet people without worrying about sweat.
Lighter luggage for business trips and travel.
Dries quickly after washing, reducing ironing time.
We hope this polo shirt can help reduce small daily stresses and make your life more comfortable.
