The world has changed. Can suits change too?

Today, we are excited to announce that our new product, the "Ultimaflex®2.0" project, will be launching on "Makuake" tomorrow, March 1st (Friday), at 12:00 PM!

Last year, we launched a project on Makuake for the "Ultimaflex® suit," a popular product that received overwhelming support for its exceptional attention to detail and functionality, and nearly sold out in subsequent general sales.

We received an abundance of feedback from many of you, including expressions of surprise, words of praise, requests for re-release, and suggestions for improvements ranging from specifications to price. We would like to express our deepest gratitude to everyone once again.

Thank you very much!

In an effort to incorporate all the feedback we received, we spent the past six months thoroughly reviewing and improving everything from functionality and specifications to our production background, challenging ourselves to upgrade to the "ultimate suit."

And we have found a comfortable and stylish suit that works in every situation, whether standing, sitting, moving, running, dancing, or sweating.

In addition, it incorporates space technology to suppress odors. It's fully washable. It resists shrinking. It dries quickly. It's iron-free.

It also boasts amazing convenience, making it comfortable even when you're not wearing it.

"Can suits change?"

Our answer is "Yes."

That answer is "Ultimaflex®2.0"—the "future active suit you'll want to wear every day."

Furthermore, in this project, we have also reviewed our production background based on the support we received from everyone, and with gratitude, we have incorporated our thoughts into the pricing.

We are not giving up on our dream of revitalizing the domestic sewing industry, while also engaging in production in collaboration with people around the world, balancing manufacturing and sales, and creating products with proposals for our users.

This is our challenge.

We sincerely hope for your warm support.

*Due to limited material availability for this product, we are unable to add additional returns.
While we believe we have prepared a sufficient quantity, more than what was available in the previous project, additional production or resale will be difficult, so we recommend securing yours early if you are interested.

"MOON-TECH®" T-shirt Restock Notification

Thank you for your continued support of the "MOON-TECH®" series throughout the year.

Today, "MOON-TECH®" T-shirts have been restocked in our online shop. We are pleased to announce that all colors and sizes are now available, after some items had been out of stock for an extended period. 


Recently, we've seen an increase in inquiries for "navy" and "black," and we are very happy to hear from you even during the winter months.

However, due to limitations in fabric and factory production capacity, and our project policy of maintaining appropriate stock levels, the next restock date is currently undecided.

We apologize for these recurring announcements with each restock and appreciate your understanding.


Also, we are preparing new colors for spring!
While it's still a gradual rollout, we hope you look forward to them.

"Dark Side of Moon Tech" General Sale Now Open

Last September, we launched "The Darkside of MOON-TECH®," a collaborative project with the sustainable D2C brand "O0u," on "CAMPFIRE."We championed the co-creation of a new fashion business unlike any other, and our products, which focused not only on beauty but also on overwhelming comfort and convenience, were well-received and supported by many.

As the project was well-received and there were requests for additional purchases, we have decided to make a small quantity available for general sale.The quantity is small, and there are no plans for further production at this time, so we recommend purchasing early if you are interested.

"The Darkside of MOON-TECH®" is based on "MOON-TECH®," the latest advanced material that incorporates space technology, and deliberately uses the reverse side, which has a unique texture and high color development.

It is a product born from co-creation, incorporating the "joy of fashion" that "O0u" possesses. It is a beautiful, small miracle that could never have been created alone.

Farewell, beautiful court. Our challenge and future.

We are pleased to announce that our new challenge, the "Chimera Skin® Upcycled Coat" project, will launch on "Makuake" at 12:00 PM on Thursday, December 28th.

The "Chimera Skin® Coat" was our first hit product, beloved by many as a "beautiful coat" that fuses Japan's world-class advanced technology with craftsmanship used by luxury brands overseas.

However, due to the highly difficult dyeing process, unavoidable B-grade products occurred.

As a project aiming to create "future fashion business," we decided it was necessary to reincarnate these unavoidable B-grade products instead of discarding them. This year, despite numerous challenges, we dedicated ourselves to technological development.

This led to the creation of the "Chimera Skin® Upcycled Coat."

It's the story of the birth of the "beautiful upcycled coat" that evolved to achieve a beautiful quality that makes it hard to believe it's re-dyed, all in pursuit of the ideal of reducing clothing waste.

Komatsu Matere's "re-dyeing" technology is currently attracting attention from major apparel companies and retailers as a technology that reduces waste.We want everyone to know about this wonderful technology that is changing the world for the better, and to experience the product firsthand.

With this in mind, the current project offers a special campaign price that is significantly more affordable than the regular price.

This is the story of our "challenge," where we struggled and agonized, but still decided to pursue our ideals.We hope you will all take a look.

"MOON-TECH®" V-neck T-shirt Now Available to the Public

This September, the "MOON-TECH® Invincible V-Neck" project was launched on "Makuake," receiving a tremendous response from over 1,500 people.

In response to the overwhelming requests for a resale, we have now begun general sales on the "MOONRAKERS Online Store."

The ultimate V-neck, developed in response to requests from those who love the "excessive functionality" of "MOON-TECH®".

Beyond its functionality, we have also emphasized the "sharp and sleek look" of the V-neck as a style, creating a highly versatile garment that can be worn year-round as both an inner and outer layer.

Furthermore, we are committed to manufacturing everything from materials to sewing entirely in Japan, reflecting our thoughts on not only manufacturing but also the form of industry, society, and the way Japan should be.

 

"MOONRAKERS" is a project that continues to be "fools striving for an ideal that may be unreachable."Through our collaborations, we have discovered a part of that ideal, embodied in the "Invincible V-Neck" – a product imbued with our endless passion.

Global pre-sale exclusive! The suitcase of the future, powered by cutting-edge technology.

In June of this year, we participated in the "MARVEL" "User Vote Campaign" on "Makuake" and challenged ourselves to create an original item with a "Spider-Man" story theme, based on user requests.

That item is "MOON-CASE®".

It is a product that aims to create a "future suitcase" that combines ultimate durability, strength, lightness, and beauty, born from the "unconventional challenge" of fusing "carbon fiber," a cutting-edge material in which Japan leads the world, with "vulcanized fiber," another cutting-edge material that Japan boasts.

We will launch a project on Makuake tomorrow, December 22nd (Friday) at 12:00 PM, for the world's first limited pre-sale of this product, made with the latest cutting-edge materials, as the "MOON-CASE® SPIDER-MAN edition".

Future materials filled with our "dreams." The beginning of an "adventurous journey" to change the world with many friends, aiming to create the ultimate carry case.

"MOON-CASE®". The story of its birth.

We hope you will all take a look.

"MOONRAKERS" and "Nihonbashi"

We are pleased to announce that Nishida, the representative of "MOONRAKERS," was interviewed by "Bridgine," a web media that reports on new challenges and collaborations emerging from Nihonbashi, a city of exchange!

 

Nihonbashi prospered as the hub of the Five Routes.
It is a historic town where people, goods, and ideas from all over Japan gathered, met, and connected, giving birth to new cultures and industries.

And both our "MOONRAKERS" office and showroom are in Nihonbashi.
Nihonbashi is truly our base.

~ Innovating the way clothes are made from Nihonbashi ~

In the Edo period, Mitsui Echigoya, the origin of our Toray Group, started "fixed-price, no haggle" sales of kimono fabric here in Nihonbashi, which was the latest system for kimono sales at the time.
We want to inherit this tradition and challenge ourselves to create "future fashion" from Nihonbashi.

And both our "MOONRAKERS" office and showroom are in Nihonbashi.
Nihonbashi is truly our base.

We, "MOONRAKERS," have launched a collaborative project with "O0u," a sustainable D2C brand from Adorelink Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Adastria Co., Ltd., which owns "Global Work," "niko and...", "LOWRYS FARM," and other brands. As the first product of this collaboration, we are releasing "The DARKSIDE of MOON-TECH®."

"The DARKSIDE of MOON-TECH®" is a beautiful product based on "MOON-TECH®," our latest advanced material equipped with space technology, incorporating the "joy of fashion" of "O0u" into a minimalist and basic style, using the reverse side (dark side) of "MOON-TECH®" with its unique texture and high color development.

First, we will launch a special campaign on the crowdfunding site "CAMPFIRE" at 12:00 on Friday, September 15th, along with text detailing the collaboration story!

Since we first met, we have been talking tirelessly. And we continue to do so.

MOONRAKERS × WWS "Oversized T-shirt" Restock Notification

The "no pocket" type, popular for its simple and sophisticated silhouette, had been out of stock for quite some time, so we have now restocked it!

This collaborative item retains the outstanding functionality of "MOON-TECH®" while featuring a modern oversized silhouette design by WWS.

ELNEST MOON TEE Restock Notification


The "ELNEST MOON TEE" is a collaboration T-shirt with the outdoor brand "ELNEST CREATIVE ACTIVITY" (hereinafter ELNEST), directed by actor Arata Iura, which received a great response when it was restocked in May.

It sold out immediately after its release, and we received many requests for a restock. Thanks to the prompt cooperation of the factory, we are pleased to announce that restock sales began today, August 1st (Friday)!

This is all thanks to your support. We express our sincere gratitude.

 

This time, it is also available in four colors: KHAKI, BLACK, WHITE, and GRAY, which are easy to use for both outdoor activities and town use. All colors feature a striking blue rubber logo on the chest, and the subtle accent is very popular.

Last summer, CAMP HACK, one of Japan's largest outdoor web magazines, introduced it as "a versatile color that is easy to use in both the city and the field, and ultra-comfortable specifications that are great for the outdoors." We are very pleased that it was praised as an "invincible shirt" in outdoor settings.

Please check out the article here ▼



This product is currently available at both "ELNEST" and "MOONRAKERS," and has been well-received by both brands. We would like to express our gratitude once again for the many warm messages.

Following the T-shirt, we plan to release new collaboration items with "ELNEST" in the future!

Announcement of General Sale for "MOONTECH® Nature" T-shirt

The new product "Invincible Evolving T-shirt | MOON-TECH® nature", an evolution of "MOON-TECH®", will finally be available for general sale on our online shop from 12:00 on Tuesday, July 29th!

 

In the Makuake project implemented in May of this year, more than 2,300 pieces prepared were sold out in just about two weeks. We would like to express our sincere gratitude for everyone's support.

We received many requests at the showroom exhibition saying, "We want it soon!" and we are truly delighted to finally be able to deliver it to everyone.

The sporty material is also appealing, but...
"I want to wear it with a more natural feel"
"I want a light and refreshing comfort that I can wear smoothly in midsummer"
To meet these demands, we have repeatedly made improvements, utilizing Japan's proud advanced technology.


The overwhelming comfort and toughness of "MOON-TECH®" remain, yet it has a natural feel that is hard to believe it's a synthetic fiber.

While having a high-quality and simple design, it looks beautiful even when worn alone, achieving a light and comfortable fit to the body. It's refreshing even in the recent scorching summers, suppresses odors, sweat stains, and stickiness, and is excellent in quick-drying, stain-proofing, and wrinkle-resistance, making it tough and long-lasting.

Isn't a future T-shirt surely something like this?

This "MOON-TECH® nature" was manufactured by Toray, which provides the material, Mitsukawa (Echizen City, Fukui Prefecture), which handles knitting, Komatsu Matere (Komatsu City, Ishikawa Prefecture), which handles dyeing, and Apparel Ota (Minamishimabara City, Nagasaki Prefecture), which handles sewing, each contributing their proud Japanese technology.

It is a special Made-in-Japan product, with all fabrics and sewing done in Japan, completed by bringing together the aspirations of all those involved.

Your support will be the power to connect Japanese manufacturing to the future. We will certainly connect your voices to that great power.

This is the form of our new challenge, advanced together with you.

We hope you will all take a look.

Product Hang Tag Specification Change Notification

Thank you always for your great support.
We would like to inform you that we have changed the specifications of the hangtags for our products.

To reduce unnecessary auxiliary materials, streamline production processes, and shorten the lead time until products reach you, we have abolished the conventional paper hangtags and changed the specification to applying labels on the packaging. This change has led to the following improvements:


・Reduced auxiliary materials (hangtag attachment tape, ties, paper hangtags for products), resulting in waste-free packaging.

・Reduced workload at sewing factories and improved production efficiency.

・Eliminated the preparation period for auxiliary materials, shortening the time until product delivery.



~How the change will be implemented~

Starting with products manufactured from mid-July, we are progressively transitioning to the new specifications, SKU by SKU (management units by color and size), as existing stock runs out.
For a while, there will be a transition period where old and new specifications coexist, but please be assured that the product itself remains unchanged.

Until all products have been switched over, there will be a mix of products with hangtags and products with labels on their packaging without hangtags. We kindly ask for your understanding that this is part of our process to improve operations and deliver products more efficiently.

Thank you for your continued support.

"Ripple Fisher x MOONRAKERS" To all who love fishing

Today, we are excited to announce the launch of our first collaboration with Ripple Fisher, a high-end Japanese fishing rod brand. The "RF MOON-TECH® T-shirts," developed for all fishing enthusiasts, are now available on our online store!

 

"Ripple Fisher" is an excellent rod manufacturer based in Kumamoto Prefecture, producing high-quality, Made-in-Japan fishing rods. Their lure fishing rods, in particular, are highly acclaimed worldwide. They specialize in completely handmade production by skilled craftsmen and are known for their strong yet lightweight rod designs.

They are also a rod manufacturer that uses carbon fiber from Toray, the parent company of "MOONRAKERS."
In fact, Toray's carbon material is used extensively in high-end applications like rockets and F1 cars due to its overwhelming lightness and high strength, but it's not commonly used in fishing rods. This is because despite its high quality, it inevitably results in a higher price.
However, "Ripple Fisher" continues to use Toray's materials despite this.

During this collaboration, we heard about this and asked, "Why do you still use Toray's materials?" They answered immediately:
"Because the quality is different. Our meticulously crafted rods require Toray's quality."
We were deeply impressed by that answer. And we strongly felt that if we were to create clothing for anglers, which many had requested, we wanted to do it with them first.

The fishing scene is actually a very harsh environment, with sweat, dirt, sunburn, and odors. We wondered if the overwhelming high functionality of "MOON-TECH®" could be effective in dealing with these challenges.

Based on this hypothesis, "Ripple Fisher" had their field staff repeatedly test the shirts during actual fishing. The three functions that received particularly strong support were:


[Field Staff Comments]
1|Moisture-wicking and quick-drying:
"The comfort of cotton, the functionality of an ultimate dry T-shirt"—that's exactly what this shirt is. Incredibly comfortable, yet overwhelmingly functional. It didn't stick to the skin even in poorly ventilated areas, dried quickly, and remained free from stickiness.

2|Deodorizing:
The deodorizing function, specifically targeting the ammonia odor which is a main component of sweat, significantly reduced unpleasant smells even in situations where washing was difficult. My family even told me, "Please, just wear that shirt all the time!" (laughs)

3|Stain-resistant:
It resisted stains from fish blood and the EVA material used on rod grips, and even if stains occurred, they washed off easily. Fishing inevitably involves dirt. We tend to choose black T-shirts, but black T-shirts get hot in the summer sun. But white T-shirts are ruined after one use. With this T-shirt, a "fresh white T-shirt" became a realistic option, which was previously out of the question, thanks to its level of stain resistance.

 

"Ripple Fisher" began with a request from a fisherman.

"I can't catch certain fish, so I need a strong, tenacious rod."

Ripple Fisher started by building a specialized rod to meet that demand.

Their consistent stance has been to "create rods that fulfill customers' dreams," and while they have expanded their challenges over time, what remains unchanged is:

"To be a reliable tool in extreme conditions."

That's why they are absolutely meticulous about "quality" in both materials and manufacturing.

We at MOONRAKERS deeply resonate with this spirit, and with the desire to reach "all those who love fishing," we have shaped this product together.

This time, we intentionally made the sizing the same as the original MOONRAKERS, making it easy for existing MOONRAKERS fans to use. On the other hand, the design is meticulously crafted, featuring the "Ripple Fisher" logo on the left chest and back. The design exudes presence and sophistication, making it stand out remarkably in fishing scenes. This intricate design is only possible with advanced printing technology (the latest DTF printing technology). Additionally, the print on the back neck features an original double-name design, embodying the aspirations of both companies. The cool yet somewhat warm design pairs perfectly with the "MOON-TECH®" material, making it an ideal choice not only for outdoor and fishing scenes but also for everyday town use.

Moving forward, through "MOONRAKERS" activities, we aim to collaborate with and introduce wonderful people from diverse genres, not limited to apparel.

We hope you continue to enjoy watching what we do.

Introducing the new MOON-TECH® Tank Top!

We are excited to announce the launch of MOONRAKERS' first tank top made from "MOON-TECH®" material, available for purchase on our online shop from 12:00 PM on Wednesday, July 23!

"MOON-TECH®" Tank Top
(WHITE・NAVY・BLACK)

The intense summer heat has become an annual event, and it seems that consecutive scorching days are about to begin this week.
The "MOON-TECH®" tank top is an item that we are launching urgently in response to requests from customers for cooler sleeveless options in midsummer, and sleeveless options for innerwear, to combat the summer heat.

Maximizing the material properties of "MOON-TECH®" to reduce discomfort from sweat, it offers a dry and comfortable feel even with heavy perspiration. It significantly reduces the stress of harsh summers, from daily life to active scenes.

By using a common pattern with our collaboration partner, TENEZ, we were able to achieve a quick launch for this product.
TENEZ has already started offering tank tops, which are proving popular as outerwear for sports scenes, particularly tennis. We encourage you to check them out as well.

Meanwhile, MOONRAKERS' version is a simple, plain type designed to meet your demands. It has a casual yet refined look, making it versatile enough to be worn as both outerwear and innerwear.

We will continue to listen to your feedback and strive to quickly launch highly requested items. We would be grateful if you would continue to share your requests with us.
