Aoyama Trading Co., Ltd. (headquarters: Fukuyama, Hiroshima; President and Representative Director: Taizo Endo) will launch its contact-cooling business pants, “Hinnobi Pants,” on Friday, May 15, at all SUIT SQUARE stores and through its official online store. The pants are designed for business settings, combining a refined appearance with the highest stretch performance in SUIT SQUARE’s history. As businesswear has become more diverse in recent years, more people are choosing casual items such as polo shirts and chinos for summer business style. At the same time, many situations, including important meetings and presentations during client visits, still call for a polished appearance even in hot weather. In response to customer requests for summer pants that look proper while offering functionality and ease of movement, Aoyama Trading developed business pants that combine a neat appearance with comfortable wear and cooling performance. The new product uses a thin contact-cooling fabric with a high polyurethane content. While existing 2-way stretch business pants are based on a vertical stretch rate of 7%, this fabric stretches 42% vertically, about six times more than previous products. The vertical stretch helps the legs move more smoothly and reduces stress during outings and long business trips. The pants also feature processing that helps the center crease remain intact, maintaining a neat impression in important business situations. The “Hinnobi Saiko Pants” carry product number 59561308P and are available in light gray and navy. The material is 87% polyester and 13% polyurethane. Sizes range from 3S to 6L, with 10 sizes in total. The price is 9,889 yen including tax, and the pants are sold at all SUIT SQUARE stores and through the official online store. Fabric features include approximately six times the vertical stretch and twice the horizontal stretch compared with the company’s own 2-way stretch business pants, allowing smoother movement and reducing tigh
