Race-bred skiwear and triathlon suits from Osaka
Started as an Osaka menswear shop in 1935 and spent the 1970s cutting wind-tunnel downhill suits that racers claimed they could not win without. Now wholly inside the trading house Itochu, still dressing the Swiss alpine team and still sewing its Mizusawa down in its own Japanese factory.
