TANNUKI Andante Short

Andante is a musical term that expresses tempo and means "moderately and slowly". You
may have heard words such as allegro and presto, which express a rather fast tempo, while this andante means a slowness like walking.
TANNUKI's new signature model, the Andante series, was developed as clothing for running (or even walking) at a moderately slow pace. Of all the items we have produced, this is the item that can be used most seamlessly between outdoor activities and everyday life. These shorts

have strong stretchability and are lightweight and have a relaxed feel. They have
a good shape and are very convenient for running, hiking, and as daily wear.

The material is a newly adopted 100% polyester material with spring-shaped fibers (although it is not visible from the outside). The most distinctive feature is that it is both light and stretchy. It is very light to wear, stretches well, and is easy to move in. It is also water-repellent, so it is resistant to dirt and repels light rain well. On the other hand, the texture is natural, reminiscent of cotton, and it fits in well both in the mountains and in the city.

Functions:
Water repellency,
shape stability,
wash resistance
, anti-pilling,
quick drying,
stretchability,
lightweight.

Design
: These shorts have a slightly wide silhouette. The box-shaped design has a slightly deep rise and a length that is easy to use, just above the knee.

The large pocket on the front is the design point. It is designed to be put in and taken out from the top, so you can store anything easily. It has eyelets, which I think will be effective when you are in the [diving] in the summer that all trail runners love.
The back has a patch pocket on the right side and a zippered pocket in the center. The zippered one is convenient for storing cell phones and valuables, and it is also packable, making it more portable.
The U-shaped logo is placed discreetly on the bottom left. The simple design makes it easy to coordinate and is suitable for daily use.

The waist is a combination of shirring and drawstring.

These boxy shorts are lightweight and comfortable to wear every day, whether you're on the trail or taking them on your daily trips.

- Material
Traditionally, in order to give stretch to a material, polyurethane, which has the property of stretching itself, was often used. Polyurethane is an excellent material in terms of its stretchability, but it is also basically heavy, which is a functional weakness. On the other hand, many polyester materials have a basic lightness, but they do not have stretchability. The material we used this time is made of polyester based on molecules with a spring-like, spiral structure, and is a material that has finally achieved both stretchability and lightness.
And this stretch, of course, stretches, but another major feature is that it returns firmly after stretching (called kickback). It does not stay stretched, but returns firmly. It feels like the crease is correct. In addition
to this, it also has the inherent characteristics of polyester, such as ease of handling (of course it can be washed at home) and quick drying. Furthermore, by applying post-processing, it becomes a super functional material that also has water repellency.

Another great thing about this material is that it doesn't show its super functionality. It's a multi-functional synthetic material, but it has a natural look and feels smooth and blends in anywhere. It doesn't look like it has many functions.
Its natural texture goes very well with the type of clothing called relax shorts, making it an item that you can use comfortably on the trail or in the city. The weave is

made in a double weave, with different weaves on the front and back, creating an uneven surface, which makes it easy to separate from the skin and creates a smooth feel. It also has
UV protection, so it can be used to protect against sunburn.
