WHOLEGARMENT is the world's first seam-free knitwear that is produced on SHIMA SEIKI's WHOLEGARMENT knitting machine. WHOLEGARMENT products are knit in three dimensions without seams, offering benefits never before found in any other type of garment. Typically, a knitted garment consists of separate parts— the front and back body panels and the sleeves—which are sewn together afterward. In sharp contrast, SHIMA SEIKI’s revolutionary WHOLEGARMENT knitwear is produced in one entire piece, three-dimensionally, directly on the knitting machine. Consequently, it requires no expensive, time-consuming post-production labor*, realizing a whole new kind of knitwear that would otherwise require highly skilled sewing labor or even be too complicated to sew. Seam-free "second skin" fit and comfort, in addition to the sustainable benefits of knitwear that consumes only the material required to produce a single garment, makes WHOLEGARMENT the "ideal knitwear." * Some designs may require partial stitching. WHOLEGARMENT® Features WHOLEGARMENT® is knit three-dimensionally and conforms to the body, gently wrapping the wearer with ideal fit and comfort. Unlike other knitwear, which is made by sewing separate parts together. WHOLEGARMENT® is very comfortable because it has no seams to restrict the natural stretch of yarn, so it cuddles the body. It is sustainable knitwear that is gentle on the earth as well as gentle on the skin.
