Surprising fact, it takes over eight different sewing machines to complete each pair, with around 30 machines in total standing ready in the workshop. In an era dominated by calls for mechanization and automation, <a href=\"https:\/\/nalutotrunks.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NALUTO TRUNKS<\/a> stays true to its roots, with skilled artisans carefully sewing each pair of surf trunks by hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240305papersky-DAY1-00037-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-93967\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240305papersky-DAY1-00037-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240305papersky-DAY1-00037-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240305papersky-DAY1-00037-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240305papersky-DAY1-00037-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240305papersky-DAY1-00037-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTo keep the fabric from rubbing against the skin, we have to use several different types of stitches for each pair,\u201d explains Kiyoshi Yamaguchi, the brand\u2019s leader, in a cheerful tone. \u201cIt may not look like it, but it\u2019s actually pretty tricky. Originally, this was a swimwear factory, so we have the skills and expertise we developed there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After taking over the family business, a mass-production swimwear factory, Yamaguchi-san launched his own brand in 2008. A dedicated surfer, he deeply loves his hometown of Naruto and the iconic waves of California\u2019s West Coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240305papersky-DAY1-00066-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-93971\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240305papersky-DAY1-00066-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240305papersky-DAY1-00066-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240305papersky-DAY1-00066-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240305papersky-DAY1-00066-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240305papersky-DAY1-00066-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m really into the California surf culture from the 1950s to the 70s. But it\u2019s tough to find classic surf trunks that go well with those vintage boards. So I started making them myself as a hobby.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most surf trunks are made of nylon, but Yamaguchi-san\u2019s are mostly crafted from cotton. They\u2019re more durable and longer-lasting, and he actively encourages repairs. With around 20,000 custom order options, you could say they have confidence in their unique sewing techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240305papersky-DAY1-00033-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-93975\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240305papersky-DAY1-00033-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240305papersky-DAY1-00033-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240305papersky-DAY1-00033-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240305papersky-DAY1-00033-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240305papersky-DAY1-00033-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cActually, this area has a long history of sewing, so much so that we have a traditional industry called &#8216;Naruto Tabi&#8217;,\u201d Yamaguchi-san informs us. \u201cBut unlike Imabari in Ehime, which is famous for its towels, our region is hardly known nationwide. People in Tokushima are either not that good at PR, or perhaps they just care too much about preserving their local culture.
