"MOON-TECH®" V-Neck Restock Notification

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.

"Space Brothers x MOONRAKERS" "MOONWORK Series" Collaboration Airfreak® Hoodie Second Release!

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.

"ELNEST x MOONRAKERS" Collaboration Second Release!

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!

"MOON-TECH®" T-shirts Restock Notification

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.

Regarding the "MOON-TECH®" Long Sleeve T-shirt
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."
Featured in "New Business" Special Edition of Ambitions

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.

"MOON-TECH®" Long Sleeve T-Shirt Restock Notification
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.

Restock: Wednesday, November 13th, 12:00 PM (noon) ~
"MOON-TECH®" Long Sleeve T-shirt
WHITE・NAVY・GRAY・CHARCOAL・BLACK
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.

Moontech 2.0 | Makuake Project Announcement
What is "Excellent Ordinary"?
Evolved MOON-TECH and a Beautiful Future
Hello everyone! This is project "MOONRAKERS."
Thank you so much for your continuous warm support.
Today, we're announcing our new project.
"MOON-TECH®," equipped with Japan's advanced technology, garnered a huge response due to its "excessive functionality."
This time, we challenged ourselves to further "evolve" MOON-TECH®.

While retaining the overwhelming functionality of "MOON-TECH®," we completely re-evaluated and updated the base material. Then, utilizing special composite technology, we created a beautiful "yarn" as the base. The result is a product that successfully coexists a natural and beautiful surface texture with astonishing comfort.
This is "MOON-TECH® PILE SETUP"!


It's something that could be called the evolved "MOON-TECH® 2.0."
Responding to your expectations, we embarked on a technological innovation that spanned over a year.
This involved an unprecedented manufacturing process, meticulously re-evaluating and updating every single fiber material, and even incorporating the latest yarn composite technology.
We repeated trials, functional verifications, and physical property checks countless times.
Assuming every possible scenario, we conducted thorough wear tests, almost wearing nothing else every day.
It's advanced technology that even industry professionals cry out, "It's too complex to understand!" However, such dedication was necessary for the evolution of "MOON-TECH®" to "2.0," created with full-power advanced technology.

And this time, in creating the "MOON-TECH® PILE SETUP," we also took on the challenge of "a new form of clothing | the future basic."
The partner who joined us to pioneer this new challenge was "Super Normal," led by Mr. Takashi Okutani, the legendary marketer who created the "right angle socks" for Muji, a product that embodied "excellent ordinary."

Whether for business, casual wear, or at home. Comfortable, convenient, and beautiful in every conceivable situation.
That is precisely "the future of living."
By wearing "MOON-TECH® PILE SETUP," your daily life will transform into a beautiful future.

Technology, materials, function, quality, color, style, size, sewing, cost. Bringing together the best possible team and thoroughly pursuing every single element.
That is precisely our challenge to "the evolution of clothing."
It is what we have strived for with everything we have, to answer your calls.

It's a setup that is so ordinary, it's almost too ordinary.
However, it will become an integral part of your life, clean and beautiful in any situation, and never tiresome, as "the excellent ordinary of the future."
That's our "Excellent Ordinary Setup | MOON-TECH® PILE SETUP" project, filled with our aspirations.
It will launch on "Makuake" tomorrow, November 7th (Thursday) at 12:00 PM.
We hope you'll take a look.

Kami-fu® Shirt 2.0 | General Sale Announcement

This spring, we launched "Camifu® shirts 2.0: The Evolved and Beautiful Shirt" on Makuake. The project received support far exceeding our expectations.
We would like to express our deepest gratitude once again for the tremendous support from everyone.
Thank you very much.

Wrinkles. Ironing. Transparency. Drying. Durability. Dissatisfaction felt precisely because it's a white shirt worn every day.
The first "Camifu® Shirt" aimed to revolutionize the white shirt by addressing these common complaints with overwhelmingly high performance and beautiful texture, achieved through Toray's world-renowned cutting-edge technology, "NANODESIGN®."
"Tougher," "Finer," "More Affordable."
The second generation, "Camifu® Shirt 2.0," is a product that reflects as many voices as possible from those who wore the first "Camifu® Shirt," aiming for further evolution together with our users.

In this "Camifu® Shirt 2.0" project, we received support from over 1,000 people. Not only that, but we also received many requests for re-sales and expanded color options.
In response to these requests, we will begin general sales tomorrow, October 25th (Friday), at noon, with the addition of a new color: Sax Blue.

We have dedicated ourselves to manufacturing with transparency, sincerity, and unwavering focus. However, that alone was not enough to find the path to evolution.
Our evolution was guided by your voices.
The "Camifu® Shirt 2.0" is filled with our passion.
We are truly delighted to deliver it to all of you who have waited.
"Invincible Pocket T-shirt" - Made-to-Order Announcement

We have received many restock requests for our "Invincible Pocket T-shirt," and we will be taking pre-orders for a limited time of four days starting tomorrow!
We were hesitant to sell short-sleeved items this season, but we received many requests such as, "I couldn't get it in the summer, please make it available somehow!", "It seems like it will be useful next season too, so I want to secure it in advance," and "I can wear it as an inner layer, so please make it available!" Therefore, we have decided to hold this pre-order sale in response to your voices.

The "Invincible Pocket T-shirt | MOON-TECH® oversizeT" is a collaborative product with "WWS," which created "workwear that looks like a suit" and "changes the way clothes exist."
When it was released on "Makuake" in April of this year, it received a huge response, with over 1,400 people and nearly 18 million yen in just one month. After that, it was released for general sale in August of this year, but it sold out in an instant, making it a popular product.
*Click here for the Makuake project page>>

Both MOONRAKERS and WWS received many positive reviews and requests for restocks from many of you. We are truly delighted by these comments, and we would like to express our deepest gratitude once again.
However, this year, due to a depletion of material stock, we were unable to replenish it in a timely manner.
While we are very happy with your feedback, we also feel sorry for not being able to meet your expectations in some areas, and we are currently making solid preparations to meet your expectations for the next season.

This made-to-order production to ensure delivery is one such new preparation.
To ensure that the product reaches those who need it.
We will continue to listen to your feedback and challenge ourselves with various initiatives, not bound by the conventions of the fashion business.
Therefore, please continue to support us.
We would appreciate your honest feedback, both good and bad.

[Pre-order acceptance period]
Friday, October 11, 2024, 12:00 PM (noon) to
Tuesday, October 15, 2024, 12:00 PM (noon) (4 days) (tentative)
[Estimated delivery]
*Although we are preparing what we believe to be a sufficient amount of fabric this time, there is a possibility that we may close pre-orders if we receive more orders than we anticipate. We kindly ask for your understanding in this matter.

Regarding the "ELNEST MOON TEE" pre-order campaign

The pre-order campaign for the collaborative product "ELNEST MOON TEE" with "ELNEST," led by Arata Iura, was a first attempt for both us and "ELNEST" to conduct [pre-order sales on our own website].
This first challenge resulted in tremendous support, with over 800 orders from more than 500 people in just 48 hours.
We are truly delighted and sincerely grateful for the great support and high expectations we received.

Of course, these numbers are very small when compared to the scale of large apparel brands.
However, for small-scale projects like "MOONRAKERS" and "ELNEST," this level of inventory is quite significant.
Furthermore, even if we were to sell with this level of inventory, there would likely be disparities in availability across colors and sizes, making it difficult to deliver products appropriately to everyone who wants them.
While it is our inadequacy that requires you to wait a while for delivery, we are very happy that through this campaign, we can properly deliver products to everyone who needs them.
Moving forward, we will evolve our project to enable this type of made-to-order production to be executed at more appropriate times, combined with faster production.
We would be grateful if you would continue to provide us with your frank feedback on our efforts.

Once again, we express our deepest gratitude to everyone who supported us.
"MOONRAKERS" and "ELNEST" will continue to work together and do our best to create products that meet your expectations and deliver them efficiently at the right time.
We sincerely hope that you will continue to watch over us warmly for many years to come.
Pre-order Announcement: ELNEST MOON TEE

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.
Click here for the product story>>

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.
【Order Acceptance Period】
Tuesday, October 1, 2024, 12:00 PM -
Thursday, October 3, 2024, 12:00 PM (tentative)
【Estimated Delivery】
Late October - Late November 2024

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.

Regarding the "ELNEST MOON TEE"

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.

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.

Announcement of "Airfreak® Ultralight" Makuake Project

MOONRAKERS's new challenge, "Airfreak® Ultralight", will launch on December 12 (Friday) at 12:00 PM (noon) JST.
We are pleased to announce the start of the Makuake project!

Three years ago, utilizing the latest cutting-edge technology, we developed "Airfreak®", which incorporates the heat retention and lightness of air.
With cries of surprise and joy such as "I thought an empty box had arrived!" and "I can never go back to heavy sweatshirts!", it has been loved by many.
However, due to the high difficulty caused by its innovativeness, reproduction became challenging... We openly communicated this situation to everyone and declared our intention to challenge ourselves to develop "Airfreak 2.0," which would surpass the original.
Countless prototypes and trials and errors. A long period of two years. Despite all this, you continued to send us your voices.
"I'm still waiting."
"I really want it."
Each of these messages not only resonated with us but also moved the hearts of many Japanese engineers, including Toray, and gave us a strong push forward.

"Airfreak® Ultra-light"
This product was created with your support and in collaboration with you.
The "tech sweatshirt"-like texture, which differs from the original Airfreak, is truly a "future clothing that evolves."
Amazingly lightweight, for a completely comfortable wearing experience.
Magically pleasant warmth that maximizes the insulating properties of air.
Outstanding ease of care, as it dries quickly and resists wrinkles.
Tough durability that resists pilling.
These features will transform your daily life into the future.
Even we, who consider ourselves professionals in materials, are excited by this innovative material, which has not happened in a long time.
"Airfreak® Ultra-light" will launch on "Makuake" on December 12 (Friday) at 12:00 PM (noon) JST.
We would be delighted if you could take a look at "Airfreak 2.0," which has evolved with your support.

This project is a [limited sale] initiative to allow you to try the innovative material "Airfreak® Ultra-light" this winter.
Therefore, the quantity is limited to the amount of fabric produced in advance, and sales will end once the maximum quantity is reached.

Once again, we express our sincerest gratitude for your valuable feedback.
MOONRAKERS is a "project that navigates with user voices as its compass."
We earnestly take your expectations and thoughts to heart, and we are working tirelessly every day to become a project that can meet your expectations as soon as possible.

The third collaboration between us and "WWS,"
"Invincible Long-Sleeve Tee | MOON-TECH® oversize longT."
When we began general sales in mid-November, we received a tremendous response, leading to out-of-stock situations for popular colors. However, with the cooperation of our factory, we have restocked them on our online shop today!
Thank you very much to everyone who waited. We hope that all of you who requested this product will take this opportunity to get your hands on it.
Furthermore, our original MOONRAKERS long-sleeve products, "MOON-TECH® Long Sleeve T-Shirt / Plain, Logo, One-Point Print," which are almost completely out of stock and have received many inquiries, are finally scheduled for restock next Monday!

MOON-TECH® Long Sleeve T-Shirt

Restock on December 1st (Monday) at 17:00
*Sales start time differs from usual
Currently, most products in our online shop are out of stock.
While we deeply appreciate the immense support from all of you, we are sorry for our current inability to meet that demand.
We aim to build a new, waste-free apparel business model that produces only the necessary quantities. Therefore, short-term stock shortages are an unavoidable aspect of this system.
However, we also believe it is important to deliver products quickly to those who need them. For this reason, we are strengthening our system for setting appropriate initial inventory based on accurate demand forecasting and implementing "high-speed replenishment."
This year, with the cooperation of related companies, including Toray and Komatsu Matere for material production, and Apparel Ohta / Satoh Sen-i / Airfolg for sewing, we have been able to replenish at a high speed.
However, we underestimated the truly grateful expansion of your support, resulting in too low initial inventory settings, which has led to the current situation.
Additionally, the development of new materials, updated materials, and new products has been delayed. Despite high expectations from many of you, the launch is taking time.
We sincerely and deeply apologize again for our inability to fully meet your expectations.
Currently, we are working diligently to launch new projects and restock necessary products to meet your expectations.
We will definitely speed things up from here on.
We kindly ask for your patience a little longer.

There are still many shortcomings. There is still much that is lacking.
While I am ashamed to have to convey such a situation to all of you, I also believe it is important to transparently share the current state to face it head-on, rather than turn away. This is why I am providing this status report.
Because I believe this is our starting point. I believe that without thoroughly confronting the current situation, fundamental improvements cannot be made.
We will continue to transparently connect the reality of manufacturing with you, fostering a system where your voices can directly reach our manufacturing process.
Please continue to share your thoughts with us, both good and bad, without reservation.
We will diligently work to meet your expectations, even just a little, by listening to your voices.
Unbeatable setup | WWS x MOONTECH Vol. 4!

Our collaboration with WWS has always been met with great enthusiasm.
As the final collaboration project of the year, we are launching the fourth installment, the "Invincible Setup" project!
"Invincible Setup | MOON-TECH® LIGHT SETUP"
Launching on Makuake on Thursday, November 20th at 12:00 PM JST!

This "WWS × MOONRAKERS" collaboration features a shirt blouson with side pockets and easy-fit pants with a front zipper, both items that MOONRAKERS alone would not have been able to create.
When our team saw the product, packed with modern silhouettes and clever features, they instinctively exclaimed, "Ah, this is it!"
By combining this style with the overwhelming comfort and convenience of "MOON-TECH®," we feel we have created a new standard that redefines what clothing can be.

This item was also born from the enthusiastic feedback we received from everyone with each successive project. Your requests for new products strongly supported our collaboration, leading to this swift product launch.
Once again, we express our deepest gratitude for your truly warm support and feedback.

The overwhelming comfort and convenience brought by MOON-TECH®.
WWS's carefully designed "adult light setup" – a shirt blouson and easy-fit pants that are neither too casual nor too formal.
The fusion of these two will support you "just right" in any situation, with lightness, elegance, and no stress.
We are truly delighted that you can now see this item, born from your support and feedback.
We hope you will take a look at it through this project.

Invincible Long-Sleeve T-Shirt | General Sale Starts

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.
The fourth collaboration between "MNMM x MOONRAKERS" is a long-sleeve version of that popular 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.

UltimaFlex®: Current Status and Future Prospects

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.
