Thank you for your continued support.

"MOON-TECH®" V-Neck Long-Sleeve T-Shirt / V-Neck T-Shirt will be restocked in our online shop.

This V-neck product was created last autumn in response to requests from those who have been long-time users of "MOON-TECH®".

In addition to its functionality, we meticulously designed the V-neck's shape to be "elegant and sharp, offering a clean look without being overly wild" in terms of style. We also focused on creating a shape that would be discreet when worn as an inner layer under our "KAMIF® Shirt" or "MOON-TECH® Crew Neck".

It is a highly convenient item that can be worn all year round, both as an outer layer and an inner layer.

Please note the following regarding this restock.

▼This is the first restock of the [V-Neck Long-Sleeve T-Shirt] in a while. We have reviewed the sizing since the last sale, so please be sure to check the size chart when making your selection.

(Please be assured that there are no changes to the short-sleeve T-shirt from before.)

The MOON-TECH® V-neck, created with your input, is a product that Japan can be proud of, featuring cutting-edge Japanese technology and manufactured entirely in Japan, from materials to sewing.

We are deeply grateful for the numerous inquiries and requests for restock of this product, which embodies the passion of many Japanese textile technology companies.

And we are truly delighted to be able to inform you of this restock, supported by your encouragement and many voices.

Today, we're introducing new products from our "Space Brothers" collaboration, the "MOONWORK Series," which is always very popular!

The "MOONWORK Series" is workwear that supports people taking on new challenges, based on the concept of protagonist Mutta's line from the popular manga "Space Brothers": "Let's try things that are just a little beyond our reach."

Last year's collaborative "Airfreak®"* hoodie was well-received, so this year we've increased the color variations and updated the design. It's now available in limited quantities on the "Space Brothers" website!

*"Airfreak®" is an advanced high-performance material developed by MOONRAKERS, combining astonishing lightness (about half that of cotton sweat material) with high heat retention.

This time, in addition to the popular charcoal and gray, we've added navy and white, for a total of four colors. Also, for this collection, the design changes depending on the color.

The navy and gray feature a simple design with subtle embroidery at the neck and cuffs.
The white and charcoal feature a large "SPACE BROTHERS" print on the sleeves, and on the back, a "MOONWORK" print combined with Mutta's line, "I hope the results of what I do will be "meaningful" to someone," as a back print.

"I hope the results of what I do will be "meaningful" to someone."
Mutta's words resonate with the identity of MOONRAKERS, who take on unprecedented challenges without fear of failure, and they are truly inspiring.

This time, only approximately 300 items are available as a limited edition. Sales will end once stock runs out. If you're interested, please check it out early.

To coincide with the launch, samples of the products will be displayed at the MOONRAKERS Tokyo Nihonbashi showroom from December 14 (Saturday). Please feel free to visit to see the products or try them on.
(Please note that the display items are samples and may differ in detail from the actual products. If you have any concerns, please ask a staff member.)

The elaborate designs, such as embroidery and prints, are unique to this collaboration.

The special page, which is always wonderful and filled with shared sentiments between "Space Brothers" and "MOONRAKERS," is a project we always look forward to.

We hope you'll all take a look.

We are pleased to announce the second collaboration with "ELNEST CREATIVE ACTIVITY," an outdoor brand directed by actor Arata Iura. The new product, "ELNEST MOON L/S TEE," will be pre-released at ELNEST's POPUP store at Hankyu Umeda Main Store.

Just like the popular short-sleeved T-shirt, "ELNEST MOON TEE," the material used is "MOON-TECH®." The sizing is also an oversized, relaxed fit, similar to the short-sleeved T-shirt.

The design continues the simple silicone name accent that was very well-received in the short-sleeved T-shirt. We've created this version in response to requests from those who loved the "ELNEST MOON TEE" and said, "I want to wear it in winter too!"

This second collaboration will be unveiled for the first time at the POPUP store held by our collaborator, ELNEST, at the Hankyu Umeda Main Store in Osaka this week.
For those in the Kansai region, please don't miss this opportunity for the first unveiling in Kansai, ahead of Tokyo. If you have time, we would be delighted if you could come and see our products, which are filled with our passion.

Additionally, this product will be generally available for purchase on the MOONRAKERS online shop starting December 18 (Wednesday) at 12:00 PM.

Please look forward to it!

As the cold deepens, we apologize for this out-of-season announcement, but we would like to inform you that "MOON-TECH®" T-shirts will be restocked on our online shop tomorrow, Thursday, November 28th, at noon.

=========================

"MOON-TECH®" T-shirts Restock
From 12:00 PM (noon) on Thursday, November 28th here

=========================

According to conventional fashion business wisdom, short-sleeved products are launched in spring. In fact, we were also planning to resume sales from then.

However, we received many requests from all of you to resume sales earlier. Among them, some even said, "I wear MOON-TECH® T-shirts more often in winter as an inner layer!"

Now that we think about it, how people use clothes varies.
What we should do is not to follow conventional wisdom, but to break it and respond to your voices.

This time, we received many expressions of anticipation from everyone, so we have prepared an excessive quantity of over 2,000 units for this off-season restock. Therefore, under normal circumstances, they should not sell out immediately.

Furthermore, we are establishing a system for more agile restocking in the future, so even if they do sell out, we will make sure to restock thoroughly by spring.
Due to the rapid increase in demand, it is true that we ourselves are currently unable to predict how much is needed, but from spring onwards, we will be restocking thoroughly on a monthly or bi-monthly basis. Also, if there is a demand from everyone, we will also conduct made-to-order sales.

Please rest assured, and for those who need them, we would be grateful if you would secure only the amount you currently require.

This time, we realized we were bound by "common sense" because of your voices.

When we are about to make a mistake, your voices serve as our compass, pointing us in the right direction. This is truly invaluable and irreplaceable.

Once again, thank you very much for your valuable feedback.

We will continue to do our utmost to meet your expectations by heeding your voices.

 

Last week, the "MOON-TECH®" long-sleeve T-shirt was restocked for the first time in about a year. We were overwhelmed by the support, receiving nearly 1,000 orders in just one day, resulting in an almost complete sell-out.

To everyone who waited for the restock and purchased the product,
we extend our deepest gratitude. Thank you very much.

Last year, sales of the "MOON-TECH®" long-sleeve T-shirt were only about 200-300 units. This time, however, in response to the great expectations from many of you this year, we prepared nearly 1,000 units, about four times last year's quantity. It might sound exaggerated, but I felt like I was taking a leap of faith from Kiyomizu Temple. This is because, if sales were at last year's level, it would take three years to sell that much.

The fact that it sold out in just one day was nothing short of astonishing. It truly exceeded all our expectations.

On the other hand, we also received many comments like, "Couldn't buy it. So disappointing..." "My desired size was already sold out. I'll wait for the next sale!" and "I love MOON-TECH®, but I wish it were easier to buy!"

We apologize for not being able to sufficiently deliver to the many people who had expectations, and we once again express our deepest gratitude for your requests for a restock despite the situation.

In response to your support and valuable feedback, we have explained the situation to Toray and Komatsu Matere, who handle material production, and Apparel Ota and Sato Fiber, who handle sewing production. With the full support of all parties involved, we are moving quickly to replenish this product.

Next time, you won't have to wait a year.

This product, assembled with Japan's proud technology from material to sewing, achieves high-speed production because all production is carried out in Japan.

To meet your expectations, all involved parties are currently working tirelessly to achieve reproduction within 1-2 months. For those who missed out this time, we kindly ask you to wait a little longer with anticipation.

We will continue to do our utmost to ensure that you can experience the excellence of advanced technology and to meet your expectations.

We hope you will continue to warmly watch over our "challenge."

 

 

Nishida, the project representative, was featured as one of 50 new business/intrapreneurial leaders in Japan in the "New Business" special issue of the business media magazine "Ambitions."

Many of you may know that MOONRAKERS is a startup from Toray, but many may not know about our representative, Nishida's career.
We actually just found out ourselves, but his motto is "Challenge is my life." It may be this motto that drives MOONRAKERS' continuous pursuit of challenges.

We hope you will take a look at his rather unique career as a salaryman.

 

 

 

 

 

 

We were recently featured in "MONOist," a specialized information media that supports Japanese manufacturing.

An unprecedented product. An unprecedented manufacturing method. And an unprecedented way of communicating.
The path to achieving this was fraught with many difficulties. And we will continue to overcome many more challenges.

Nevertheless, we will continue to take on challenges with all of you.

It is an article filled with our passion. We hope you will all take a look.

Today, we are announcing that the "MOON-TECH®" Long Sleeve T-shirt will be restocked on our online shop tomorrow, Wednesday, November 13th, at noon.

"MOON-TECH®" Long Sleeve T-shirt

WHITE・NAVY・GRAY・CHARCOAL・BLACK

▶Product Page

 

We have received numerous restock requests for this product. However, due to thorough fitting adjustments to revise the sizing as requested by many of you, and a shortage of materials caused by a sudden increase in demand this summer, it took some time to restock.

We sincerely thank everyone who provided valuable feedback for product improvement.
We also apologize to everyone who waited for the product and express our deepest gratitude for your continued requests for a restock.

This crew neck is easy to wear alone or as an inner layer.
It is suitable for autumn, winter, and spring, and with its top-level UV protection, it also performs well in strong summer sunlight.
We hope you will take advantage of Moon-Tech's "excessive functionality" throughout the year.

Regarding this restock, we have three announcements.

▼Sizing has been revised

We received feedback that the sizing of our long-sleeve T-shirts felt generally larger compared to the same size in our "MOON-TECH®" T-shirts. Based on this, we have thoroughly reviewed the sizing and pattern. We slightly narrowed the sleeve width to improve the fit and adjusted the body size to be closer to that of the short-sleeve version. Therefore, if you choose the same size as your short-sleeve shirt, you will achieve a similar fit.
However, considering the difference in fit between long and short sleeves, the length and shoulder width have been adjusted to be slightly longer, so please check the size chart when selecting your size.

▼New colors added

We are introducing new colors: "BLACK" (the jet-black color previously referred to as "PURE BLACK") and "GRAY," which were not previously available. We hope you enjoy the expanded color selection.

▼Collar label changed to transfer print

We received feedback that the feel of the collar label was more noticeable on long-sleeve shirts, especially when worn as an inner layer during dry winter months, compared to short-sleeve shirts. To address this, we have changed to a transfer print specification, similar to our short-sleeve shirts, to improve comfort against the skin.

We receive many requests for Moon-Tech products every day, and we are truly grateful for each and every voice we hear from you.

In addition, encouraged by your feedback, we are currently receiving collaboration requests from numerous brands.
Going forward, with the help of these brands, we will rapidly expand our product variations.
We hope you look forward to the unveiling.

We are a project that moves forward with you, using your voices as our compass. We would greatly appreciate your continued candid feedback, both good and bad.

We simply aim to be transparent, honest, and dedicated.
We intend to face your voices head-on.
