PROFILE About the Company / Workshop

PIPE KNIT CO., LTD. is an apparel manufacturer based in Okinawa that has long specialized in shirts and Kariyushi wear. At its own factory in Uruma City, the company handles cutting, sewing, inspection and shipping in one integrated process, ensuring stable quality and reliable delivery.

GETTO MONOGATARI is the flagship brand sold mainly through the company's directly managed store and online shop. The brand uses original textiles that incorporate shell ginger fibers and functional processing, featuring designs inspired by Okinawan plants, traditional patterns, the sea and the sky. The result is Kariyushi wear that feels cool and smooth against the skin while retaining an elegant look suitable for both work and resort.

Several GETTO MONOGATARI products have earned J∞QUALITY certification, proving that all stages from fabric making and dyeing to sewing and planning are completed in Japan. As an early Kariyushi wear brand to gain this certification, PIPE KNIT communicates the value of truly made-in-Japan clothing to customers in Japan and abroad.

Functional fabrics using Okinawan shell ginger
