Three new items of boa clothing featuring Brewed Protein™ fiber—including zip liner jacket, vest, and scarf—will be released as part of the Fall/Winter 2024 collection from NTN, designed by previous brand manager for sacai menswear Nobuaki Takahashi. The items will be available for purchase in Japan only, beginning in November.

This release marks the first time that products using boa fabric made with Brewed Protein™ fiber (pile layer: 20% Brewed Protein™ fiber, 50% reclaimed wool, 30% virgin wool; base: 100% recycled polyester) will be sold by an apparel brand. This boa fabric, characterized by its fine texture, is made from recycled wool that has been reclaimed through a unique process that transforms used clothing, yarn, and fabrics back into staple fiber.

These products are also the first to feature a name tag made with Brewed Protein™ fiber (5% Brewed Protein™ fiber, 95% organic cotton).
