Merino Wool Philosophy | Elevating the Quality of Everyday Life – C-one
The True Value of Super100's | C-one’s Story of Japanese-Made Merino Wool
Why we chose this exceptional material—and how we craft “everyday luxury.” Discover the story behind C-one.
What is Super100's Merino Wool?
Super100's Merino Wool is a grading for wool with exceptionally fine fibers—far beyond ordinary wool. It refers to wool with a fiber diameter of **18.5 microns or less** (typical wool is 20 microns or more). The smaller the number, the finer the fiber and the higher its value.
At C-one, we carefully select only outstanding Super100's. These ultra-fine fibers create a cashmere-like feel—smooth, supple, and free from itchiness.

Ultra-fine merino is a delicate material. Japanese artisans bring decades of expertise to draw out its best qualities. Precise stitching and careful finishing help the garment conform beautifully to the body over time—and support durability for long-term wear.
We want to deliver products with timeless value, not trends. That belief is upheld by Japanese craftsmanship found in the details.
