ZIZAIZ

BY IZUYOSHI — APPAREL PARTS SINCE 1934

Made freely. Made to connect.

Garment parts are never seen. That is the rule of our trade.
For 92 years, Izuyoshi has handled buttons, zippers, interlinings and linings.

From that knowledge, and from our own factory,
came the brand ZIZAIZ.
T-shirts, towels, bags, blankets.
Because we know every part, we can make them freely.

Team goods, company novelties, or one piece made just for you.
Whatever you want to make, it can start here.

WHAT WE MAKE

We know the parts, so we can make clothes and goods.

The T-shirt is only one of them. Towels, bags, blankets, key holders. One team takes each from planning and sewing to delivery.

FEATURES
92 YEARS OF PARTS

92 years of parts

Izuyoshi was founded in 1934 in Fukuyama, Hiroshima, a town of textiles. For 92 years we have worked on the inside of clothes. Our parts are in many brands’ garments, and our name is on none of them.

We know the parts, and we can make the product. So we decided to do it under our own name. That is how ZIZAIZ began.

What “Jiyu-Jizai” means

It is not a slogan. “Jiyu-Jizai” means “freely, at will”. With 92 years of parts knowledge and a factory of our own, it describes what we can actually do.

INPUT 01We know every part.

Buttons, zippers, interlinings, linings. We have handled the 50-plus parts of a garment for 92 years.

INPUT 02We can make any product.

A wholly owned sewing factory. From T-shirts to blankets and bags, from planning to delivery, in one place.

OUTPUTWe can give any idea a form.

A team-logo patch, commemorative embroidery, a customization of your own. Whatever you want to make, freely.

OWN FACTORY

Our own factory

In 2018 we opened a wholly owned sewing factory in Pinghu, Zhejiang, China. Now we handle everything from sourcing parts to sewing ourselves. Prototypes are made in the sample room on site.

1.

Cutting

Fabric being cut along a pattern

Fabric is cut along the pattern. Accuracy here decides the accuracy of the sewing.

2.

Sewing

Hands sewing at a machine

A line of more than 40 machines. Wholly owned, so we see inside every step.

3.

Needle detection

Before shipping, every piece passes through a needle detector.

TIMELESS REAL BLACK

A black that does not fade

Ordinary black clothes lose a little colour with every wash and every day in the sun. ZIZAIZ black stays black.

ZIZAIZ / Solution dyedBlack to the core. Scratch it and the same black comes out.

Cross-section of a single fibre.

The black goes into the fibre before the yarn is spun, so it stays black through washing and sunlight. Test results and the Makuake record are on the detail page.

ZIZAIZ LAB

Multiply one part by another.

Fabric, heaters, down, patches. We combine parts to make products of our own. Prototypes are made in the Pinghu sample room.
