Kanye West's original Yeezy used fabrics from Tokisene, a Japanese factory with one of only three Tsuri knitting machines in the world, creating premium hoodies and t-shirts. Yeezy Gap, by comparison, had quality problems early on as it worked out its production.
Yeezy and Yeezy Gap. With Yeezy, very, very high price points. And I'm talking about all the old Yeezy seasons, the shearling jackets, all of that good stuff. I know that they were producing a lot of their fabrics for the hoodies and t-shirts at Tokisene. And Tokisene is among my favorite factories in the world. It's a Japanese-based factory that uses a Tsuri knitting machine that's only existing in 3 factories in the world. When it comes to the fabric qualities that Yeezy was putting in and even the construction on their garments when I held them in hand, Yeezy is all the way up here. I have a lot of respect. When it comes to Yeezy Gap, I think that they were just starting to figure their stuff out, but there was a lot of quality issues.
