Thank you very much for your continued warm support of "MOONRAKERS."
Today, we are announcing a limited-time pre-order for the "ELNEST MOON TEE."

The "ELNEST MOON TEE," which we recently restocked, sold out instantly due to overwhelming demand. We sincerely apologize to everyone who was unable to purchase it.

Despite this situation, we received a tremendous number of restock requests from many of you, as well as many requests for expanded sizing. We would like to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who reached out to us.

The "ELNEST MOON TEE" has garnered significant attention from many customers for its product concept, which aims to be "the ideal T-shirt for outdoor scenes." Due to a rapid increase in demand, we are currently unable to accurately predict how much quantity would be appropriate to offer.

In light of this situation, we have decided to launch a special build-to-order project that will include the highly requested XXXL (3XL) size.

This pre-order will be conducted for 3 days from 12:00 PM on Tuesday, October 1, to 12:00 PM on Thursday, October 3, on the official websites of "ELNEST" and "MOONRAKERS." Delivery is scheduled for late October to late November.

Thursday, October 3, 2024, 12:00 PM (tentative)

【Estimated Delivery】

We have prepared a sufficient amount of materials to fulfill all your requests, but the current situation continues to exceed our expectations. If the number of orders surpasses the available materials, there is a possibility that the project may be ended prematurely. We kindly ask for your understanding in this regard.

Again, we express our deepest gratitude for your strong expectations.
Although we still have many shortcomings, we will continue to do our best with transparency and sincerity to meet your expectations. We kindly ask for your continued support.

Thank you very much for your enthusiastic support for the "ELNEST MOON TEE" this time.
However, with very little fabric in stock, and prioritizing supply to our collaborators ELNEST and Fujimaki Hyakkaten, the limited number of items sold out in less than 5 minutes. We sincerely apologize to everyone who was unable to purchase despite their expectations.

Amid growing interest in "MOON-TECH®," especially the "ELNEST MOON TEE," many people focused on the product concept of "the ideal T-shirt for outdoor activities," which led to the current situation.
We deeply appreciate the support from so many people and once again sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to those who wished to purchase the product.

We are a project dedicated to "making the wonder of advanced technology known," and we believe that "the ultimate way to make it known is to have people use it."
We have received many inquiries from those who were unable to make a purchase this time, and in light of this situation, we plan to promptly discuss the matter with relevant parties and inform you of our response.
Going forward, information related to the "ELNEST MOON TEE" will be disseminated through the official websites, newsletters/SNS of ELNEST and Fujimaki Hyakkaten, with whom we are jointly developing, as well as our [MOONRAKERS Mail Magazine]. We would be grateful if you could register below to receive updates.

We are truly aware that there are still many areas where we fall short, and we apologize for any inconvenience. We will continue to meet your expectations with transparency, sincerity, and unwavering dedication. We kindly ask for your continued support.

Project “MOONRAKERS” 

The "ELNEST MOON TEE" is a collaboration T-shirt with "ELNEST CREATIVE ACTIVITY," an outdoor brand directed by actor Arata Iura.

When it launched last July, itsold out in an instant, and we received many requests for restocks. The collaboration, which defied conventional fashion business wisdom, also garnered significant attention and became a hot topic.

We would like to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who supported our challenge. Thank you very much.

Additionally, our product was featured on Japan's largest outdoor web magazine, "CAMP HACK."

The functional verification conducted by the editorial team, "without忖度" (without reserve or bias), was very welcome as it seems to prove that the "ELNEST MOON TEE" is indeed the "ideal outdoor T-shirt" we aimed for.

We hope you will take a look at it via the link below.

Due to the sudden surge in demand for "MOON-TECH®", the fabric has become scarce, and we were only able to produce a small additional quantity. We apologize for this inconvenience, especially to the many people who have requested a restock. However, this re-production utilizes all remaining fabric, so we appreciate your understanding regarding the limited stock.

The restock will be carried out around 12:00 PM on Thursday, September 19th.

Given the current situation where we haven't been able to fully meet the demands of many people, we are working hard to prepare a new system for the next season.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but we will continue to do our best to become a project that meets your expectations. Please bear with us for a little while longer. We would appreciate it if you could give us some time.

ELNEST MOON TEE

Utilizes the advanced material "MOON-TECH®" with "excessive functionality." It features a simple design with a small rubber brand logo. Reflecting Mr. Iura's preference, "I sometimes feel stressed when wearing a fitted T-shirt in outdoor settings, so a slightly oversized fit is comfortable and reassuring for me," it has a slightly voluminous, big silhouette.

Colors: White, Gray, Black
Sizes: M to XXL

Today, we're announcing an "Encore Project" for "Ultimaflex® 2.0", which was first launched on Makuake in March of this year!

In the previous project, "Ultimaflex® 2.0 | The Future Active Suit You'll Want to Wear Every Day," most of the rewards sold out in just one day, and the entire project was sold out in less than a week, receiving an overwhelmingly positive response.

Even after the project ended, we received numerous requests for additional orders and restocks from everyone. We'd like to express our deepest gratitude to all of you once again.

Thank you very much!

 

For this re-project, we've prepared approximately twice the amount of material from the previous project to ensure we can deliver to as many people as possible. This is a brave quantity for a small project like ours.

However, we've moved forward with this plan to respond to your voices, hoping to deliver to everyone who couldn't purchase Ultimaflex® 2.0 last time, and especially those who told us, "I definitely want to buy it next time, so please let me know when it's re-produced!"

 

Furthermore, after the previous project, we received requests for additional individual orders, so we are also offering individual jacket and pant rewards.

While the previous project offered three colors (black, dark navy, and gray), this time, to prioritize delivering to as many people as possible without waste in production, we will be offering only the two most popular colors: black and dark navy. We appreciate your understanding.

 

What kind of results will this new challenge bring?

We are also nervous about our first encore project.
However, we chose to bravely take on this challenge.

Supply and demand. Creator and user.
What form would allow both parties, once distant, to join hands with a smile?

Our new challenge, moving forward to find this ideal, will finally begin tomorrow at 12:00 PM (noon).

We hope you will all warmly watch over us.

 Changes in Product Specifications

Similar to the previous crew neck product, we have also changed the brand name on the back of the V-neck collar from the conventional "woven label" to a "transfer print." (There are no other changes in size, color, etc.)

This measure reflects improvement requests we received regarding "the feel of the collar label against the skin" and "the visibility of the label's stitching on the back." We encourage you to try it out and would appreciate your feedback.

 Due to a surge in demand, MOON-TECH products continue to be difficult to obtain. While all involved are working hard on production, the next restock is currently scheduled for around November. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by this extended wait time.

Our goal is to "let everyone know the wonders of advanced technology," and we believe that "the ultimate way to know is to use it." Therefore, the current situation is not ideal for us, and we are currently making every effort to improve our system so that we can deliver products promptly to those who need them.

We apologize that this project still has many shortcomings and deficiencies, but we kindly ask for your continued warm support for us, MOONRAKERS.

 

Thank you for always supporting MOONRAKERS.

This weekend, from Saturday, September 14th to Monday, September 16th (public holiday), MOONRAKERS will be exhibiting at "OC TOKYO (Oshi Commerce Tokyo)," a real event hosted by Makuake.

Due to event preparations and customer service, we regret to inform you that the "MOONRAKERS Nihonbashi Showroom" will be closed during the following period.

Event Overview

Organizer: Zero One Booster Capital Inc.
Date: Wednesday, September 4, 16:00 - 19:30
Venue: Onko Shinsho no Mori NOVARE (2-8-20 Shiomi, Koto-ku, Tokyo)

We are pleased to announce that the "MOON-TECH®" T-shirt will be restocked on our online shop today, Friday, August 30th, at noon.

 

Currently, there is a sudden surge in demand for the "MOON-TECH®" T-shirt. Despite stocking a quantity equivalent to approximately one month of last year's sales for yesterday's white restock, the main sizes sold out within minutes of going on sale, and all sizes were sold out within half a day.

We sincerely apologize that we were unable to deliver enough to the many people who had high expectations and wished to purchase.

This replenishment primarily consists of four colors: navy, charcoal (dark gray close to black), gray (light gray), and khaki. However, we have also received additional "white" stock (although a small quantity, we apologize) from the factory using remaining fabric, which had sold out yesterday.

Although we prepared twice as much material this year as last year, we still couldn't keep up with your demands. Furthermore, in response to this situation, we exhausted all materials prepared for new products and autumn/winter items and offered build-to-order production, but even then, we couldn't cope with the drastic increase in demand this summer.

We deeply apologize again for the inconvenience caused, despite the high expectations from so many of you.

MOONRAKERS is a project dedicated to "making the wonder of advanced technology known." And we believe that "the ultimate way to make it known is to have people use it."

In that sense, it is truly regrettable that we cannot deliver to so many new people who are interested.

And above all, we are truly heartbroken by this situation where we cannot properly deliver products to the MOONRAKERS who are embarking on this "adventure journey" with us.

In light of this situation, we are currently dedicating all our efforts to preparing a new system for the next season.
We apologize for the inconvenience you may experience for a little longer, but we will certainly become a project that meets your expectations.

Please bear with us until then. We would appreciate your patience.

 

This is an announcement that the "white" MOON-TECH® T-shirt will be restocked on our online store tomorrow, August 28th (Wednesday), at noon.

Crew Neck WHITE (Sizes S-3XL)

"MOON-TECH®"T-shirt

 

Regarding product specification changes

From this restock onwards, the brand name on the back of the collar will be changed from the traditional "woven label" to a "transfer print." (There are no other changes to sizes, colors, etc.)

This change reflects feedback we received from customers, such as "I'm concerned about the feel of the collar label on my skin" and "I'm concerned that the stitching of the collar label is visible on the back."

The circular design, inspired by the moon, which is also MOONRAKERS' motif, expresses our ambition to achieve "moonshots" (unprecedented and extremely difficult grand challenges that, if achieved, will have a significant impact) in "the evolution of clothing."

Additionally, the integrated QR code (which links to the official MOONRAKERS website when scanned with a smartphone) embodies our desire to "connect with you through clothing and always be with you."

We also plan to restock other colors sequentially in the near future. We would be grateful if you could patiently await their arrival.

>> Next scheduled restock
Gray, Navy, Charcoal, Khaki

We apologize for the repeated notifications, but we will continue to inform you via this email newsletter and social media.

We sincerely apologize for the current difficulty in obtaining our products due to a surge in demand, and we will continue to dedicate all our efforts to improving our system to deliver products as timely as possible to all those who need them.

We are aware that there are still many imperfections and shortcomings, and we deeply apologize for them. We would be grateful for your continued warm support for MOONRAKERS.
