The Quick-drying Pale

Just 3.5 hours drying time
- even indoors, or in cloudy weather.
Still its feels great.

As the way we do our
laundry changes,
so towels also need to evolve.

In Japan the way we do the washing continues to change.
These days as more women go out to work they have less time to do the housework; advances in washing machines mean that more laundry is done at night; and there is an increasing tendency to dry the washing indoors to avoid pollen and dirt from the outside etc.
Towels, which need to be washed every day, must also evolve.
As a towel maker, we made it our mission to launch the “Quick-drying Pale” with ideal quick-drying properties.

The secret of the towel's drying
properties lies in the new thread.

It took around 2 years to complete this ground-breaking towel that can dry in just 3.5 hours whether in cloudy weather, indoors, or in the shade of winter.
The secret of its quick-drying properties is a new thread that uses cleverly proportioned materials.
“Normally towels are made of cotton material, but this towel is a mix of cotton with more than 40% polyester - a material that repels moisture well.”
However in this towel we have made the polyester into an ultra-fine microfiber that is only used in the core of the pile's thread, developing it into a dual-layered thread that is completely covered in cotton, so that the outside of the thread that comes into contact with the skin is cotton.
Creating something that feels more comfortable and softer than cotton.

Even though the towel is
quick-drying, we have not
compromised on its thickness.

The Quick-drying Pale is a towel that overcomes another difficult problem; namely that of volume.
Normally, quick-drying towels use a short pile (fiber) that is light and thin in order to reduce moisture content.
“At FUJITAKA, from the outset our approach was to think of the thickness of each thread; and we used a special spinning method to ensure a plump finish.”
And we have managed to create a towel with a long pile, while keeping it easy-to-dry by ingeniously making the core portion of the base yarn a lighter weight.
We have succeeded in creating a towel that is renowned for being very quick-drying and at the same time having a great plump texture; a towel whose sense of volume holds it own with FUJITAKA’s classic towels.

It comes in a size that makes
it easy to wash and dry.

The “Pale” in Quick-Drying Pale means “pale color.”
The towel comes in a range of pale colors to give a bright feeling even when dried indoors.
The Quick-drying Pale does not come in bath towel size.
If customers want to use it for the bath, we recommend that they order the “face-long” size which is the same width as the face towel but in a longer size.
While it is smaller than a bath towel, it can absorb enough moisture to dry your whole body and several towels can be washed in one go.
You can also save space when drying it indoors, as it is the same width as a coat-hanger.
After 3.5 hours you can take it down and be left with a tidy room.
This is the ideal towel for those who want to live in a compact, yet efficient, manner.
