"WWS x MOONRAKERS" MOON-TECH® LIGHT SETUP General Sale Announcement

Our collaboration project with “WWS” has always received an overwhelming response from everyone.
Today, the fourth installment, “Invincible Setup | MOON-TECH® LIGHT SETUP,” is now available for general sale on the MOONRAKERS online shop.

During the Makuake project held last November, we received tremendous support from over 900 people, exceeding our target amount by more than 5000%.
We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for your truly warm support.
This setup consists of a shirt blouson with side pockets made from advanced MOON-TECH® material and easy pants with a front zipper. Both items feature modern silhouettes and ingenious details that MOONRAKERS alone might not have been able to create.

The shirt blouson, which combines lightness and structure, has a subtly boxy shape that is comfortable yet not too loose. Just by putting it on, it naturally looks sharp and fits perfectly for both business and leisure.
It features snap buttons for incredibly smooth on and off. Additionally, side pockets enhance storage capacity and practicality.

The easy pants feature a tapered cut that creates a beautiful leg line, designed to look effortlessly neat when worn. The waistband is made of soft elastic, ensuring all-day comfortable fit. The convenient drawstring can be pulled either inside or outside, and belt loops are also included.
From work to holidays, travel, and beyond.
This light setup simultaneously achieves "just the right neatness" and "overwhelming comfort."

In today's world, instead of product development being "completed by a single company," there are increasing instances where new solutions are found by combining different strengths.
MOONRAKERS' advanced material development capabilities support WWS's well-thought-out clothing design philosophy, and the strength of WWS fans and stores acts as a great driving force to deliver the value of materials to more people.
Above all, the presence of everyone who genuinely appreciates this collaboration connects both parties and encourages us to take the next step.
Once again, we express our deepest gratitude for everyone's truly warm support.
We hope you will check out the "Invincible Setup," born from your voices, now that it's available for general sale.
Announcement: Featured in Kyushu local media "Qualities"
Our representative, Nishida, was interviewed by the Kyushu local media "Qualities" at MOONRAKERS' new base, "MOONRAKERS Fukuoka Imajuku Link Lab".
Qualities is a media that carefully explores life and work in the Kyushu region, with the theme of "good people, good things, good work in Kyushu."
It is characterized by not focusing on numbers or superficial trends, but by visiting sites and carefully editing the words and atmosphere exchanged there.

This article focuses on MOONRAKERS' activities in Kyushu.
・Why Fukuoka now?
・Why did we choose the challenge of "bringing manufacturing back to Japan"?
・The revolutionary idea of selling out at a fixed price without holding inventory
・The future of the apparel industry envisioned with Kyushu's sewing factories
Nishida himself spoke in depth about these topics in his own words.
The philosophy behind MOONRAKERS' products and our passionate commitment to manufacturing.
And "where we are headed and what we are trying to change."
We believe the content will allow you to quietly but surely feel the outline of this.
We would be delighted if you could read it when you have time.

Rebuilding Japan's apparel industry with Fukuoka City as a hub.
"MOONRAKERS" ingenious turnaround scenario
In addition, at "MOONRAKERS Fukuoka Imajuku Link Lab", we are currently preparing to open an open lab with showroom functions similar to those in Nihonbashi, Tokyo and Yodoyabashi, Osaka.
Details of the opening will be announced as soon as they are decided, but we hope that this facility will not only allow visitors to touch our products, but also to learn about the background of MOONRAKERS' manufacturing and the climate of Kyushu where it is created.
We will continue to consider various plans to make it enjoyable not only for people in the Kyushu region but also for visitors from other regions, so please look forward to it.
Our project "MOONRAKERS" will continue to use Fukuoka-Imajuku as its manufacturing command center, connecting production areas and factories throughout Japan, and at the same time connecting creators with users like you, to create the future of Japanese manufacturing.
We would appreciate it if you would continue to watch over our challenges.

Sales at the new price will begin.
We received so many truly warm responses from all of you regarding the recent price revision. We would like to express our deepest gratitude once again.
Starting today, we will begin selling each T-shirt at the new prices as announced.

Along with this, we have also restocked the "Pink" colored T-shirts (crew neck / V-neck), which were very popular as a seasonal color last year.
While it's not yet the season for T-shirts to be the main focus, we hope you will take your time to consider them, imagining your everyday life ahead and the coming seasons.

This price revision is our way of expressing gratitude for the tremendous support we have received from all of you.
And there is another reason. We also aim to stimulate demand by making our products more accessible to a wider audience, and to increase domestic production by even one more piece.
Recently, we received news that another one of our manufacturing partners, a sewing factory, has closed down. One in December, and another this month. Even within our small circle of connections, Japanese manufacturing is being lost almost every month.
It was not an easy decision. Nevertheless, we believed that "now is the time to do it." We took this step with the desire to halt this trend as soon as possible.
Even if it is "a dream that may not come true."
Even if we are laughed at and told, "It's impossible," "You can't do it," or "You're foolish."
We will continue to strive to create a "future" that brings richness not only in comfort and functionality, but also to all those involved, including the craftsmanship and human endeavors behind it.
If it is possible, we would be grateful for your continued warm support for our challenge.

Announcement of Nikkei Newspaper Publication
- Moonrakers unifies and advances sewing factories / Strengthening and enriching the domestic supply chain -
We are pleased to announce that our initiatives were featured in the January 26, 2026, issue of the "Nikkei Shimbun"!

The article meticulously and objectively summarized our efforts, focusing on points such as:
"New forms of apparel centered on advanced materials," "initiatives to revive Japanese domestic manufacturing," and "increasing earning power to ensure the industry's survival."
The apparel industry may seem glamorous at first glance. However, following December, another one of our fellow sewing factories in Kyushu ceased manufacturing this month.
Japanese manufacturing continues to disappear at an alarming speed.
Amidst this, we are dedicated to creating a "new industry" where your support directly connects to the manufacturing floor, and everyone, from creators to users, can prosper together.
However, this is a "distant ideal" that is sometimes met with laughter and dismissal even from our apparel and sewing factory partners, who say, "That's impossible" and "It can't be done."
In the past, such words hurt us and made us lose confidence. However, supported by your encouragement and voices, we were able to passionately pursue this project without shame.
Once again, thank you very much.
We are deeply grateful to all of you, more than words can express.

Media articles like this are a collaboration between the subject of the interview and the reporter. The Nikkei Shimbun truly and carefully captured our passionate thoughts and conveyed the facts clearly and transparently.
This publication will be a great force in helping our challenge become more widely understood in society. It is a beacon to let many people know the reality of the situation.
Although it is a member-exclusive article, we would be delighted if you could take a look.
We will continue to dedicate ourselves to the revival of Japanese manufacturing. At the same time, we will transparently, faithfully, and wholeheartedly disseminate the excellence of Japanese manufacturing, as well as the harsh realities, using every available means.
This is because, first and foremost, it is very important to understand the current situation. Therefore, with the media as our partner, we will share the true state of the industry and our challenge to transform it, so that it reaches as many people as possible.
Not limited to manufacturing.
We will also dedicate ourselves to making sure people know.
We would appreciate your continued warm support for our challenges.

Announcement of publication in "Senken Shimbun"
An interview with MOONRAKERS representative Nishida was featured on the front page of "Senken Shimbun," a trade magazine for the textile and fashion industry!

Following our recent announcement of price revisions, we have been overwhelmed with warm words of encouragement from our users and offers of cooperation from our manufacturing partners.
Every single one of these messages brought tears to our eyes and deeply moved us.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude once again.
We will use these warm words of encouragement as strength and continue to work transparently, sincerely, and tirelessly.
We kindly ask for your continued support.

"MNMM × MOONRAKERS" MOON-TECH® OVERSIZE TEE LS General Sale Announcement

Introducing the fourth collaboration with "MNMM," which develops products under the theme of "minimalist clothing":
"MOON-TECH® OVERSIZE TEE LS (Long Sleeve)."
We received warm support from many of you during the pre-launch project on "Makuake."
We sincerely thank you again.
This product is now available for general sale on the MOONRAKERS online shop starting today.

MNMM advocates "minimal clothing" that allows you to pare down what you wear to the absolute essentials in a world saturated with goods, focusing on what truly matters.
MOONRAKERS, on the other hand, aims to integrate Japan's proud advanced technology into daily life, implementing a comfortable, convenient, and beautiful "future lifestyle" through clothing, the most familiar product.
Not chasing trends.
Not being constrained by seasons or excessive variations.
Thoroughly pursuing ideas and functions, and delivering only what we believe in.
These shared attitudes form the background of our repeated collaborations.

The "MOON-TECH® OVERSIZE TEE (Short Sleeve)," which debuted in the spring of 2023, has been supported by many and has repeatedly sold out and been restocked in general sales.
The "MOON-TECH® OVERSIZE TEE LS (Long Sleeve)," introduced this time, inherits the silhouette of that masterpiece and is an evolved model with "long sleeves" to suit more seasons and diverse daily life.


While equipped with an abundance of MOON-TECH® functionality, its appearance is surprisingly minimal.
By lightening the worries of daily clothing with high-tech apparel and reducing choices, life becomes smarter.
This is our current form, where the philosophies of both brands converge.
A "new everyday wear" for a more minimal and comfortable daily life.
We hope you will see our dedication.

We're bringing back the "MOON-TECH® Nature T-shirt" by popular demand.

Today, we are happy to announce its restock.

The above is an interview article published during the development phase, and it explains the technical background of "MOON-TECH® nature" in detail.

First Women's Item, Finally Launched! | Invincible Women's T-Shirt "MOON-TECH® Nature Short Tops"

What we are presenting to you this time is MOONRAKERS' "first" women's item.



"Invincible Women's T-shirt | MOON-TECH® nature Short Tops"
Announcing the General Release of "UltimaFlex® 3.0"

We have received numerous requests for the re-release of our "Ultimaflex®" jacket and pants.
We are excited to announce that the updated version, "Ultimaflex® 3.0," is finally complete.
Thank you for your patience to everyone who has been waiting. And to everyone who has continuously provided us with requests for re-release and suggestions for improvements, we sincerely thank you once again.
General sales will begin on Tuesday, May 26th, at 12:00 PM (noon) on the MOONRAKERS online shop.

"Ultimaflex" has received many comments like, "I can't go back to regular jackets and pants anymore."
It is an advanced material that combines astonishing stretchability with high dimensional stability, as well as lightweight, sweat-absorbing, and quick-drying properties at a high level.
While "Ultimaflex® 3.0" uses the same material as "2.0," we have updated its specifications, details, material performance, and even production location based on the many comments we received from you.
While still "overwhelmingly comfortable," it has evolved into a more user-friendly and reliable garment for all daily situations.

With a unique pattern that maximizes the super-high stretch performance of the material, it naturally follows the movements of your shoulders and arms while maintaining the beautiful appearance of a standard jacket.
This significantly reduces the tightness of conventional jackets and achieves comfort similar to sportswear.
Furthermore, by omitting the front chest pocket, it creates a more urban and refined impression. The cuffs have been changed to a 3-button design, and the sleeve ends have been adjusted for a cleaner look.
While retaining essential functions, we have redesigned it with a more minimalist specification that blends seamlessly into everyday life.

The pants have also been meticulously updated.
The previous design, which featured gathered elastic at both sides of the waist, has been changed to a full elastic waist. This improves comfort and creates a more natural and beautiful design when tucked in.
Effortlessly comfortable, yet perfectly put-together.
We have further pursued this exquisite balance.
The sizing is generally the same as "Ultimaflex® 2.0."
However, in response to many requests, we have expanded the size range this time to include "XS" and "3XL."
This provides a wider range of sizes for more people to choose from.

And this time, we have undertaken another significant challenge.
That is, switching to "Made in Japan" manufacturing.
We wish to revive Japanese manufacturing.
However, for heavy clothing like this, the cost difference with overseas production is very large, resulting in a cost increase of several thousand yen for both jackets and pants.
Nevertheless, we are taking on the challenge of Made in Japan production.
Many Japanese factories have been lost to us.
It is even said that Japanese manufacturing is on its last legs.
However, we are determined to pass on our technology to the future, no matter what.
To achieve this, we want people to be able to experience our products at an accessible price.
We have done our best, in collaboration with our factories, to bring you this product and pricing.
Is the balance appropriate?
We would be grateful for your feedback.
Currently, manufacturing costs for various items are on the rise.
It may become difficult to maintain this price in the future.
However, we will continue to put all our wisdom to work.
We will do our utmost to balance the revival of Japanese manufacturing, affordable prices for our customers, fair wages for our factories, and our sustainable profits.

"Ultimaflex® 3.0 Jacket & Pants"
Comfortable like sportswear.
Yet with a beautiful and refined silhouette.
Fully washable. Almost no ironing required.
It's thoroughly comfortable not only when you're wearing it, but also during the "time you're not wearing it."
For business, travel, or everyday outings.
A "future setup" that naturally blends into various scenes and lightens your daily burden.
In today's rapidly changing world.
More freedom. More lightness.
A new standard for comfortable daily life.
We invite you to experience the "Ultimaflex® 3.0," evolved with your feedback.
Ultimaflex® 3.0 Jacket & Pants

Moontech® T-Shirt Restock Notification / Other Restock Updates

Thank you for your patience!
Today, we are announcing the re-stocking of the "MOON-TECH® T-shirt" and the planned re-stocking of other out-of-stock and new products from late May to June.
First, regarding our standard "MOON-TECH® T-shirt," although we prepared a good amount of stock this year, orders concentrated on specific colors like white and specific sizes, leading to noticeable shortages around Golden Week.
In response, with the full cooperation of our sewing factory, we have implemented high-speed production, focusing on the out-of-stock colors, and have re-stocked them.
For those who need them, we hope you will take this opportunity to get yours before the full heat of summer arrives.
MOON-TECH® T-shirt Re-stocked Colors
WHITE・NAVY・CHARCOAL・PINK
In addition, we have received many inquiries regarding the arrival of other products. Therefore, we would like to report the upcoming product arrival schedule below.
【Scheduled for late May】
・(Re-stock) MOON-TECH® Nature T-shirt
・(New arrival) ULTIMAFLEX® 3.0 Jacket & Pants
【Scheduled for June】
・(New arrival) MOON-TECH® Shirt
Regarding the "ULTIMAFLEX® 3.0 Jacket & Pants" in particular, we had received an extremely large number of inquiries about it for a long time, but due to the closure of the sewing factory we had selected as a partner, it took a considerable amount of time to re-stock.
We apologize for the long wait, and we are very pleased to finally be able to announce its arrival.
With added functions, a minimal design for improved usability, and a shift to Japanese manufacturing, 3.0 was created with a different concept from 2.0.
We hope you will take a look again and share your feedback with us.
Please note that the schedule may change depending on the situation, so we will inform you again via this email newsletter and social media once the arrival date is confirmed.

In recent years, we have increased our inventory every year and improved the efficiency of our high-speed production.
However, shortages continue to occur.
This is because so many of you have high expectations for us and offer us warm support.
Again, we sincerely and deeply appreciate your support.
Especially this year, there have been successive requests for cost increases in materials, supplies, and sewing wages, and various fluctuating factors have also arisen, making production quite challenging in reality.
However, even under such circumstances, with the full cooperation of our manufacturing partners, we are truly delighted to have been able to re-stock in a timely manner during this period of high demand.
We will continue to strive to respond as quickly as possible to the passionate support we receive from all of you.
"Don't create unnecessary things; deliver necessary products when they are needed."
This is not an easy challenge. However, we will continue to aim for this "uncharted territory" together with our manufacturing partners and all of you, including our customers, while transparently sharing the situation with everyone involved.
We hope you will continue to warmly watch over our challenge.

Ripple Fisher x MOONRAKERS | To all fishing enthusiasts - Announcing the launch of our second collaboration


We are pleased to announce the second release of our collaboration with "Ripple Fisher," a domestic high-end rod brand.

Our collaboration T-shirt, released last July, was very well received. The 2026 model of this T-shirt is back in stock, and this time, in response to strong demand from fishermen, a new long-sleeve T-shirt will be making its debut.
Comfortable for fishing. Pleasant for everyday life.
This lineup can be used in a wider range of situations.
This collaboration is a product born from the resonance between "Ripple Fisher," a domestic high-end fishing rod brand that continues to pursue "being a reliable tool in extreme conditions," and "MOONRAKERS"'s commitment to functional materials.
Its value is questioned in the harsh environment of fishing.
That's why we make no compromises on materials or specifications.
We have adopted this manufacturing philosophy for our apparel as well.


The design is simple, with the "Ripple Fisher" logo placed on the left chest and back.
However, by thoroughly focusing on each balance, we have achieved both a strong presence that stands out in the field and a sense of quality.
Furthermore, an original double-name print, embodying the sentiments of both brands, is adopted on the back lining.
The result is a cool yet somehow warm finish.

The material used is "MOON-TECH®," cutting-edge material that Japan is proud of.
It features 12 high-level functions, led by astonishing advanced technology born to provide comfort even in the extreme environment of space.
Sweat problems like odor and stickiness. Inevitable dirt. The intensity of sunlight. Stiffness that hinders movement.
Its functions reduce all kinds of stress in fishing situations and provide unbeatable comfort.

For the coming season and beyond.
Not just for fishing. But also for outdoors, in the city, and as everyday wear.
We hope you will experience its overwhelming functionality this summer.
This unconventional collaboration between a high-end rod manufacturer and an advanced material apparel brand.
However, this product, born from a shared passion for manufacturing and designed to solve the problems of all anglers, has received an overwhelmingly positive response from many people.
We will continue to create new value with partners we resonate with, regardless of genre.
We hope you will look forward to our future developments.

|ELNEST × GREENable| MOON-TECH® Collaboration Tee Now Available

ELNEST CREATIVE ACTIVITY (hereinafter "ELNEST") is an outdoor brand directed by actor Arata Iura, and is very popular in collaboration with us, "MOONRAKERS."
We are pleased to announce that we have participated in a collaboration between "ELNEST" and "GREENable," which is based in Hiruzen (Maniwa City, Okayama Prefecture) and operates under the theme of coexistence with nature!

When "ELNEST," an outdoor brand, encountered "GREENable," they were inspired by the magnificent nature of Hiruzen and the wisdom of the people who continue to maintain the hiking trails while making use of natural materials.
"Protecting and living in harmony with the richness of nature."
This project is an attempt to re-examine what "coexistence with nature" should be.
Click here to read about the thoughts behind the GREENable collaboration.
The product concept is "for the trails we walk."
For the path we walk, and for the future beyond each step.
With this in mind, we worked on product development.
The front features a large "ELNEST" logo and the concept of "trail maintenance activities" carried out by "GREENable": "Restore trails and build community" (let's enjoy mountain activities and repair the trails together to connect a rich ecosystem to the future), in a faded, grunge print that gives a natural feel.
The back features a large print of "DEVISING SUSTAINABLE HUMAN ACTIVITY, AMIDST BOUNDLESS NATURE," a concept that can be called "GREENable's" grand theme.

In addition, the lower back features a bold print of the beautiful Hiruzen Plateau mountains as seen from the summit of Mt. Sanpei, which Mr. Iura himself photographed when he climbed the mountain in Maniwa City.

ELNEST CREATIVE ACTIVITY × GREENable
MOON TEE -for the trails we walk-
Click here for the product
The material is "MOON-TECH®," which we believe represents the future.
It is a product that aims to reduce the environmental impact that inevitably arises in any manufacturing process, through its long-lasting durability even in tough environments.
The sizing is the same as our previous "ELNEST MOON TEE," ensuring a comfortable fit for those who already own and love our products.
Sublimation transfer printing is used. Unlike regular printing, the ink is soaked into each fiber, preserving the overwhelming functionality of "MOON-TECH®" while also achieving beautiful colors and a soft texture.
Available in two colors: charcoal and gray.
Charcoal has an all-over print, with a unique luster and smooth surface. Gray has a partial print, maintaining the feel of the original Moon-Tech with a light impression. You can enjoy different looks with each color.
A portion of the profits from this product will be used to support the activities of the Hiruzen Nature Restoration Council, which is engaged in trail conservation activities in Hiruzen.
Japan's cutting-edge technology. Overwhelming comfort that feels like you've grasped the future.
Both fabric and sewing are made in Japan. A purely domestic, carefully crafted finish born and created in Japan.
The beauty of Japan's nature. And the Japanese people's dedication to protecting it and living with it.
Yes, holding this product, imbued with various aspirations, also contributes to the cycle of protecting our mountains.
It is a product that could only have been born in Japan, one that you can wear with pride.
We hope you will take a look.
MASTERMIND x MOONRAKERS 2026 Launch | Highly Anticipated Collaboration Pre-Orders Begin

We are excited to announce a new collaboration between MASTERMIND and MOONRAKERS, following the tremendous response we received last year.

MASTERMIND is a street casual brand that remains committed to Japanese materials and techniques, and continues to introduce them to the world.
The collaboration project with them, which began last spring, was enthusiastically received worldwide, garnering a significant response not only in Japan but also in various other countries.
And now, we are delivering an evolved new product.

This time, the theme is "NEO BLACK."
"MOON-TECH®" in black retains its functionality, convenience, and toughness while evolving to be softer, more comfortable, and provide a more enveloping fit.
Additionally, long-sleeved options, which were not available last year, are now included in the lineup.

Function and beauty. Technique and sensibility. Style and comfort.
To transcend these boundaries.
Not to choose one over the other, but to naturally achieve both.
That is the challenge of "MASTERMIND" and "MOONRAKERS."
― From JAPAN to the WORLD ―
From Japan to the world, with evolving clothing.
We embark on a new journey from here.
