Our third collaboration with "WWS," the "Indestructible Long-Sleeve T-Shirt | MOON-TECH® Oversize Long-Sleeve T-Shirt."

After the pre-order period on Makuake ended, we received numerous requests, and therefore, we will begin general sales on Friday, November 14th, at 12:00 PM JST!

 

MOON-TECH® Oversize Long-Sleeve T-Shirt Sale Begins
Friday, November 14th, 12:00 PM JST

This collaboration received close to 4,000 pledges of support during a project period of just over two weeks.
Beyond the sheer volume, continuous collaborations between apparel brands are highly unusual, and the way this collaboration has gained more fans with each iteration has been met with surprise in the industry.

Today is said to be an era of co-creation. This is because the number of problems that cannot be solved alone is increasing.

MOONRAKERS' advanced material development capabilities support WWS's vision for a new way of clothing.
Conversely, WWS's large fan base and store presence provide significant support to MOONRAKERS, which wishes for many people to experience the excellence of its technology.

And above all, the presence of everyone who wholeheartedly rejoices in this collaboration is what connects the two companies and drives them forward. Once again, we sincerely thank you all for your truly warm support.

Currently, we at MOONRAKERS are thankfully receiving a flood of orders from many people. However, as a result, we sincerely apologize that many products are out of stock on our official WEB site.

We sincerely apologize to everyone who has been waiting and inquiring.

We are currently moving forward with replenishment through high-speed production, but due to many products selling out faster than expected, re-stocking is scheduled for late November to December.
We fundamentally aim to produce only the products that are needed. Based on this premise, products may go out of stock. However, it's a balance. The current situation, where most products are out of stock, is not a good one.

Given this, we are currently working step-by-step with Toray, which provides materials, Mitsukawa, which handles knitting, Komatsu Matere, which handles dyeing and processing, and many sewing factories to expand our production facilities, improve the accuracy of sales volume forecasts, and further accelerate production.

We will definitely improve this situation.

First, we are very happy to announce the general sale of this product today. In addition, since this product will also be sold at WWS, a larger supply will be made available than our usual production volume. We hope that all those who love MOON-TECH® will take this opportunity to experience the "clothing of the future" that we have created through co-creation.

Comfortable for everyday wear, workouts, light exercise, and travel.
The "evolving garment" with excellent breathability and ease of movement.

An extraordinary comfort that makes you want to wear it constantly, with an exquisite "just-right" feel. And a sophisticated style that looks great on its own or under a jacket.

The "Indestructible Long-Sleeve T-Shirt | MOON-TECH® Oversize Long-Sleeve T-Shirt" will become an essential part of your daily life, adding comfort and color to your future.

We hope you'll experience the "future life" created by this product.

 

We are pleased to announce that the "MOON-TECH® OVERSIZE TEE LS (long sleeve)" project, the fourth collaboration with "MNMM," which develops products with the theme of "minimalist clothing," has been launched on "Makuake"!

 

In Spring 2023, we launched our first collaboration, the "MOON-TECH® OVERSIZE TEE."

This garment, which incorporates space technology into daily life and caters to minimalist sensibilities, received widespread support from over 1,000 backers and more than 15 million yen in support.
Afterward, it repeatedly sold out and was restocked in general sales, and continues to be loved as a staple item in our collaboration.

Now, while inheriting the silhouette of that classic design, the "MOON-TECH® OVERSIZE TEE LS" has evolved into a new "long-sleeve specification."

Advanced technology × Minimal design.
Functional clothing for sophisticated adults, for more seasons.

Maintaining the comfort of the advanced "MOON-TECH®" material, which boasts "excessive functionality" such as overwhelming quick-drying properties, wrinkle resistance, opacity, high-level deodorizing/stain-resistant functions born from space technology, the highest level of UV protection with UPF50+, and super-stretch of nearly 50% in all directions, the sleeves feature a double-layer structure to enhance the hold around the wrists, creating a beautiful balance with the overall oversized silhouette.

It's designed to be comfortably worn all year round, both as outerwear and as an inner layer.

We are truly delighted that the first collaboration using "MOON-TECH®" material, a project dear to our hearts and the origin of our endeavors, is now moving to the next stage.

The philosophy of "minimal necessity" that MNMM adheres to.
The desire of MOONRAKERS to "change the world with advanced materials."

A "new everyday wear" for a more minimal,
smarter daily life.

While maximizing functionality, the appearance is surprisingly simple.
Lighten your daily life with the power of technology, and embrace minimalist beauty.

We hope you will take a look at our current form.

We have received numerous restock requests for "Ultimaflex® 2.0," but its reproduction has been significantly delayed.
Today, we would like to provide an update on its current status and future.

We want to transparently share with you the harsh reality we faced and our commitment to confront it directly.

We apologize for the length of this message and hope you will take the time to read it.

Since its initial launch in December 2022, "Ultimaflex®" has evolved with the support of many of you.
Last year, when it was renewed as "Ultimaflex® 2.0," it sold out on Makuake in just a few days. Following that success, an encore project received over 20 million yen in support.
Then, when general sales were held this spring, many customers rushed to purchase, and it sold out instantly.

Since then, we have received many inquiries, especially now that it is the season for outerwear, and we have received a truly large number of requests from those eagerly awaiting a restock.

Once again, we express our deepest gratitude for your expectations.

However, reproduction has been severely delayed, resulting in a stockout of over six months. This is because, following the sell-out of "Ultimaflex® 2.0" this spring, we considered switching to domestic production for its reproduction.
As our e-commerce sales expanded significantly last year, we determined that timely replenishment would be difficult with conventional overseas production when needed. At the same time, this also reflected the voices of many of you who requested that it be "manufactured in Japan as much as possible."

Changing the country of production and the sewing factory naturally took time for replenishment.
However, it was originally scheduled to be implemented last month, or this month at the latest.
But we have not yet achieved that.

The reason is that we received a report from the reputable domestic factory we had initially asked to manufacture the product, just before placing the order, stating, "We apologize, but due to the impact of rising minimum wages and other factors, we are considering closing the factory this year."

That factory was renowned for its truly high level of technical expertise. It was also a relatively large factory for Japan, employing 100 people. However, even such a wonderful factory was forced to face the harsh reality that it could not continue, and we were greatly shocked.

Japanese manufacturing is truly on the brink right now. If sewing factories disappear, Japan will become a country that cannot make clothes. Efficient international division of labor is correct, but only if there is a certain balance. Is it okay for all manufacturing to disappear from Japan? We don't think so.

We realized that we must accelerate. Otherwise, Japan's manufacturing and wonderful technologies will surely be lost day by day. We must use all our wisdom, find the right industrial model, gather many colleagues, and protect Japanese manufacturing. We strongly reaffirmed this determination.

We are currently working at full speed with a new factory to create samples. The new factory has not traditionally produced such products. However, they agreed with our vision and promised to put in as much technical expertise as possible and cooperate fully.

The samples, on which they diligently worked through numerous requested revisions, are now scheduled to be completed next month.

They incorporate your requests, productivity improvements from the factory, and everything we could do in this difficult situation.

This product is "Ultimaflex® 3.0." This is because it represents a shift from overseas to domestic production, a challenge to bring manufacturing back to Japan, and an "evolved version" that incorporates as many improvement requests as possible from you.

We plan to offer "Ultimaflex® 3.0" for made-to-order.
This is because we want to ensure that it reaches everyone who needs it.
Orders are currently scheduled for January, and we will proceed with all arrangements to ensure that it can be delivered to all interested parties by spring.

To all of you who were expecting a restock of the conventional "Ultimaflex® 2.0," we sincerely apologize for the long wait and this change in plans.
However, we would be very grateful if you could continue to look forward to it.
Once the details of the restock are finalized, we will promptly inform you, so please grant us a little more time.

Going beyond the extensions of conventional suits,
More and more comfortable and light.
Minimizing constraint and maximizing ease and comfort.

In a changed world. In a challenging modern era.
Still striving for the ideal, gathering Japan's proud technologies.
The "future of clothing" that evolves freely, lightly, and correctly.

That is "Ultimaflex® 3.0."

To deliver that product to you.
To connect Japanese technology and passion to the future.
We will continue to take on challenges.

We hope you will continue to warmly watch over our endeavors.

 

Today, we would like to inform you about our showroom's operating schedule and the resumption of deliveries.

 

■ November operating hours for the Tokyo Nihonbashi Showroom

Thank you for always visiting our showroom.
Please note that we will be temporarily closed on the following date:

Tokyo Nihonbashi Showroom Temporary Closure
November 2 (Sunday)

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.

■ Showroom Operating Schedule

Information regarding business days and temporary closures will be updated regularly on the top page of the MOONRAKERS official website.
Please note that temporary closures may occur due to operational circumstances, so please check before visiting.

Showroom Operating Schedule

■ Resumption of Deliveries

As previously announced, we have relocated our logistics warehouse to improve our service system.
Consequently, our shipping schedule was temporarily altered, but we will resume sequential shipments starting November 4 (Tuesday).

We sincerely thank everyone who patiently waited for their deliveries for your understanding and patience.
We will continue to strive for improved service, aiming for quicker and more reliable deliveries.

■ Our Vision for the Showroom

At MOONRAKERS, we have decided not to set sales as our primary goal. This is because our objective is "to let people know the wonders of advanced technology."

That's why, even though we are located in prime sales areas like Nihonbashi, Tokyo, and Yodoyabashi, Osaka, we operate as a showroom rather than a retail store. If we were to operate as a store, the focus would inevitably become "selling."

By operating as a showroom, our staff can concentrate on explaining our products and ensuring that everyone understands them correctly.
We focus on communicating with you to allow you to directly experience the appeal of wonderful advanced technologies and to thoroughly hear your feedback.

Just like the Apple Stores created by Steve Jobs, whom we deeply respect.

Through this showroom, we want you to directly experience our products, understand their functions correctly, and feel how they can transform your daily life into the future.

 

To share the appeal of advanced materials with more people.
And to be a place where we can discuss the future of manufacturing together.

We hope you will continue to patronize our showroom and share your "voice" with us.

 

We, MOONRAKERS,
are a project that directly connects the latest advanced technology with daily life, creating a comfortable, convenient, and beautiful "future."

We will continue to move forward diligently and sincerely, engaging in ongoing dialogues with all of you.
We would be grateful for your continued warm support.

 

The second collaboration with "WWS", "Invincible Hoodie | MOON-TECH® Parka & Pants," which went on general sale in July after last year's Makuake project.

It sold out quickly due to unexpected popularity, but we have brought it back just in time for the current season!

Invincible Hoodie & Pants Product Page

 

"WWS," a brand that "changes the way clothes are."
"MOONRAKERS," aiming to create "evolving clothing."

Although the words may differ, we are striving for the same future.
Our collaborations have continuously produced unprecedented products, receiving enthusiastic responses.

In both manufacturing and branding, we connect like-minded colleagues, bridge the divide between makers and users, and transform clothing, industries, and Japan.

This is a "dream that may not be reached."

However, once we envisioned that dream, we had no choice but to take on the challenge.
The enthusiastic support and warm voices we received for this challenge brought us great courage and confidence.

We will continue to meet your expectations and take on challenges with all our might.

We sincerely hope that we can continue to receive your warm support.
We will directly channel the support we receive from you into our manufacturing.
And together with you, we will surely create a beautiful "future life."

 

Thank you for always supporting MOONRAKERS.

The Tokyo Nihonbashi Showroom will be temporarily closed on Sunday, November 2nd, due to staff circumstances.

We, MOONRAKERS, have reached our fifth year since the launch of our first product.
Thanks to your truly warm support, our project has greatly expanded, growing 20-fold in these five years. We are also expected to almost double our scale compared to last year.

Once again, we express our heartfelt gratitude for your truly warm support.

With this in mind, we intend to strive for service improvements in all aspects moving forward, in order to respond to your support with even better service.
To begin with, and to enable faster delivery and future service enhancements, we have decided to relocate our logistics warehouse.

Therefore, we apologize for any temporary inconvenience this may cause, but the product shipping schedule will be temporarily changed during the period below.

 

< Shipping Schedule Change Period >

Orders placed by October 26th (Sunday)
Will be shipped as usual.

Orders placed from October 27th (Monday) onwards
Will be shipped sequentially from November 4th (Tuesday).

 

*You can still place orders as usual during the target period, but please be aware that delivery may take longer than usual.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause our customers, and we kindly ask for your understanding as we work to improve our services.

 

Furthermore, this relocation of our logistics warehouse aims not only to improve services for our customers but also to reduce the workload at our sewing factories. This initiative seeks to concurrently reduce logistics lead times, accelerate delivery speeds to our customers, and alleviate the burden on our factories by transferring some of the tasks previously handled by them to the logistics warehouse.

MOONRAKERS' endeavors cannot succeed without the cooperation of Japanese sewing factories. However, the reality of the sewing industry is becoming increasingly challenging, beyond what you might imagine.
The rise in minimum wages is not necessarily a bad thing. However, with continued increases expected in the future, the management of sewing factories is becoming more difficult.
On the other hand, many apparel companies are also facing tough management due to excessive competition, and I hear that many do not accept requests for increased processing fees from factories.

Among the sewing factories that were considering participating in the "M♾N Cluster," some are now considering "closing down" as they can no longer cope with the current situation.

We must accelerate our pace towards developing better products.
And we must improve our services to you and garner more support from everyone.
Like this logistics warehouse change, we must use all our wisdom to reduce the burden of manufacturing, place leveled orders that allow factories to operate year-round at appropriate processing fee levels, and protect Japanese manufacturing.

"I wish all apparel companies were like MOONRAKERS."

These are the words of one of our partner sewing factories.
The support you have given us has undoubtedly directly contributed to Japanese manufacturing. However, this is still only a part of it.

Moving forward, we will employ all means, not just our own growth, to expand this impact.

Change clothing, change the industry, change Japan.
Create the "future" with everyone involved.

From here, we will dedicate everything to continue this challenge.

We kindly ask for your continued support.

"MOONRAKERS" means "fools who continue to chase dreams that may be out of reach."

Our challenge to "evolve clothing with the latest advanced technology" and to "revitalize Japan by bringing back manufacturing" were both ridiculed as impossible and laughed at as unattainable dreams.

However, we decided to continue being fools who pursue ideals, believing in the power of advanced materials that change the world and bringing together the power of Japan's proud technology companies.
Our brand name, "MOONRAKERS," is our declaration of this resolve.

 

This year, we made a great leap forward.
That was because we had the wind of everyone's support.
Because the compass of everyone's voices guided us.
Because everyone accompanied us on this adventurous journey as a member of "MOONRAKERS."

Once again, we express our heartfelt gratitude for the daily words of encouragement we receive from so many people.

We, "MOONRAKERS | Fools who continue to chase unattainable dreams," will continue to walk with you.

We sincerely ask for your continued support.

 

 

Today, we are announcing that the "Camifu® Shirt 2.0," which has been out of stock for a long time and for which we have received many restock requests, will be back in stock on our online shop tomorrow, October 15th (Wednesday), starting at noon.

Camifu® Shirt 2.0 Final Sale
＼Starts October 15th (Wednesday) at 12:00 PM／

 

For those who love white shirts but can't find the perfect one – "lost in white shirts."
The "Camifu® Shirt 2.0" is our heartfelt creation for all of you.

It boasts high functionality, suppressing transparency and wrinkles often found in shirts.
It offers convenience, drying quickly after washing and requiring no ironing, ensuring long-lasting durability.
Furthermore, it features innovation, combining the natural feel and subtle texture not found in conventional synthetic fibers.
These qualities are born from Toray's innovative technology, "NANODESIGN®," a world-renowned advanced textile technology from Japan.

We are incredibly happy to announce this restock, responding to the many requests we received even after it went out of stock.

However, today we also have some unfortunate news to share with you.

This product has continued to have a very high defect rate in mass production due to incompatibility between the advanced material "Camifu®" used in the fabric and subsequent processing. We have repeatedly conducted technical verifications with Toray, who is responsible for developing the material, but have ultimately concluded that future re-production will be difficult.

Therefore, unfortunately, this product will be "discontinued" after this restock.
The story of the "Camifu® Shirt" that we have woven together with you will temporarily come to an end with this shipment.

We sincerely apologize to everyone who has supported the "Camifu® Shirt" for having to deliver such news.
However, we will continue to devote all our efforts to developing the next "evolving shirt" so that we can once again show you an improved version.

We hope you will look forward to the day when this story resumes.

 

Furthermore, for this restocked item, not only the fabric but also the sewing is done in Japan.
The sewing is handled by our new partner, "LEXUS" in Nagasaki Prefecture.
With their high level of craftsmanship specialized in shirt sewing, they have skillfully shaped this material, which is extremely difficult to handle and highly challenging.

In fact, products with both fabric and sewing made in Japan are currently on the verge of extinction. It is said that they now account for only about 1% of the clothing distributed in Japan.

International division of labor is absolutely correct in terms of efficiency. However, on the other hand, we do not believe that "monozukuri" (craftsmanship/manufacturing) should disappear from Japan. This is because clothing manufacturing is truly delicate.

Some may say, "The same product can be made even if outsourced overseas."

However, we don't think so. We believe that Japanese craftsmanship has a special brilliance precisely because of Japan's climate and artisan spirit. We feel that the idea of sharing technology and co-creating can only be realized in Japan. We feel that if "monozukuri" is lost from Japan, the "evolution of clothing" will stop.

And we are currently putting all our efforts into creating a system that can supply "Made in Japan" products to everyone at a reasonable price point compared to overseas products.
This is a challenge to "bring manufacturing back to Japan."

This time, we had to inform you about the discontinuation of the "Camifu® Shirt." However, it is also the beginning of a new story of challenge.

Transparently. Sincerely. Single-mindedly.

Project "MOONRAKERS" will continue its journey of evolution with all of you.

We hope for your continued warm support for our challenge and for the new story we weave together with you.

 

Thank you for always choosing MOONRAKERS.

We apologize for the short notice, but the Tokyo Nihonbashi Showroom will be temporarily closed on Friday, October 10th, due to staff availability.

We are very grateful for the overwhelming response we received to the "MOON-TECH® nature T-shirt," which went on general sale at the end of July. This led to many colors and sizes being out of stock.

We are pleased to announce that these items, primarily the out-of-stock colors, have been restocked in our online shop.

MOON-TECH® nature

 

Unfortunately, we were unable to offer the "BEIGE" color this time due to limited material availability. We sincerely apologize to all those who were looking forward to it.

However, please know that our project is guided by your voices as our "compass."
If we receive many restock requests from you in the future, we will promptly consider re-production.

We kindly ask for your understanding in this matter and would be grateful if you could share your thoughts with us.

 

"I want a T-shirt that is thinner, cooler, and more comfortable to wear."
"I want something with a natural, cotton-like texture that can be easily incorporated into daily life."

Responding to these voices, "MOON-TECH® nature" was born, leveraging Japan's proud technology.

It is a future material created by technology, and an evolution of clothing born from your voices.

 

 

We will continue to directly connect your "voices" to the manufacturing floor, aiming to create "evolving apparel."

And we, you, and the factories, too.

We will strive to revitalize Japan by creating a "new textile industry" where all involved become equal partners, leading to prosperity and smiles for everyone.

 

 

With your support as our "wind" and your voices as our "compass,"

we will continue our "journey of adventure."

We hope you will continue to share your "voices" with us, both good and bad, without reservation.

 

 

 

The collaboration project with "WWS" started last year.
This time, we are launching the third phase of this collaboration, the "Invincible Long-Sleeve T-Shirt" project!

 

"Invincible Long-Sleeve T-shirt | MOON-TECH® oversize longT"

Launching on Makuake!
[September 12th (Friday) 12:00 PM - September 29th (Monday) 10:00 PM]

 

"WWS" is an amazing brand that emerged from a plumbing company and created a "new genre of clothing" called "suit-style workwear."

This collaboration between "WWS" and "MOONRAKERS," which aims to evolve clothing, is truly a challenge to "change the way clothing exists."

 

Our challenge continued with last summer's "Invincible Pocket T-shirt" and this spring's "Invincible Hoodie," and across both projects, we received support from over 3,000 people.

Furthermore, after general sales, it became so popular that it repeatedly sold out, receiving enthusiastic support with comments like: "It's an essential piece of clothing for everyday life!" and "I only wear this now!"

Once again, we express our heartfelt gratitude for everyone's truly warm support.

 

Amidst this, the most requested next product from everyone was the "long-sleeve T-shirt" that we are launching this time.
To answer those requests, we have been working at full speed this summer to launch it quickly.

Guided by your voices, this is a product into which we have poured our hearts.
It's the "WWS x MOONRAKERS" challenge to "evolve clothing."

We are truly looking forward to showing you what we've created.

 

 

 

 

The "ELNEST MOON TEE" is a collaboration T-shirt series with outdoor brand "ELNEST CREATIVE ACTIVITY" (hereinafter "ELNEST").

We are pleased to announce that the "long-sleeve TEE," which was out of stock, has now been restocked! Additionally, we have replenished the short-sleeve T-shirts from the same series.

ELNEST Collaboration Page

 

A simple design with a small rubber logo.
Reflecting the preferences of ELNEST director Mr. Iura, it features a reassuringly large silhouette.

"The light and gentle material gives you a feeling of 'not wearing anything,' and the comfortable airflow is also appealing. The unique texture of the lining is also comfortable, making it possible to enjoy cutting-edge materials as if they were everyday T-shirts."

Mr. Iura's passion for "MOON-TECH®" is embedded throughout the product.

 

The collaboration with "ELNEST" is well-received by MOONRAKERS users, thanks to Mr. Iura's meticulous attention to sizing and details.

The passion dedicated to crafting.
The desire to change the existing fashion business.
Our collaboration between "MOONRAKERS" and "ELNEST" began there.
However, without your support, that passion and desire would eventually fade. Your support is proof that this unconventional collaboration is right, and it is the driving force behind creating another new fashion unlike any before.
We will continue to advance this collaboration with your voices. If possible, we kindly ask for your continued support for our endeavor and welcome your feedback, both positive and negative, in the future.

 

 

 

Today, we're excited to announce that two products you've frequently requested for restock are now available again in our online shop!
