Daidoh's textile business started in 1879 when its founder Ine Kurihara first wove "Tokyo Twin Stripes" on a single wooden loom.
Thereafter, Daidoh chose wool as the primary fiber for its business endeavors. The company adheres to a policy of "Customers first" "Highest priority, quality". It has unified its production process as a corporate group, producing rare wool in a proprietary ranch in Australia to manufacture high-quality cloth and clothing.
In the 1990s Daidoh moved its entire manufacturing base from Japan to Shanghai and Ma’anshan, Anhui Province in China. As one of the top wool textile manufacturers related on wool products, Daidoh is proud to send its products around the world from its factories in China.
Below is an introduction to the cutting edge of our textile technology, which Daidoh has developed over many years in business.

Rope scouring is a traditional finishing process first developed in England.
Woven fabric is twisted into a rope, then slowly turned on a roller. This removes impurities, while simultaneously restoring the uniform texture of the original wool.
Daidoh's finishing process is identified with a few key aspects.
First, Daidoh uses only rope scouring machinery with rollers made of cherry wood.
This traditional cherry wood roller minimizes the pressure applied on the fabric compared with roller of metal or rubber, smoothing out the fabric in the process.

This traditional cherry wood roller minimizes the pressure applied on the fabric compared with roller of metal or rubber, smoothing out the fabric in the process.
Second, Daidoh’s proprietary scouring process takes 4 hours; more than twice the industry average.
This slow process serves to eliminate impurities and restore the wool's fluff.
The final point of the Daidoh process is their use of natural soap.
Although natural soap is more difficult to handle than synthetic detergent, the soap oil binds with wool fibers, imbuing the fabric with a unique texture.
Scouring time and control of water temperature appropriate to the material in use are key factors to creating the finest texture in every batch of fabric.
Since the 1980s, Daidoh has exchanged technology with long established woolen fabric manufacturers in Huddersfield, Northern England, the foremost region in the world for worsted fabric production.
Top engineers from each firm have shared their knowledge of the manufacturing process, with Daidoh providing dyeing techniques in exchange for finishing technology.
Daidoh brought this technology back to its factories in Shanghai, where it was gradually put to use during a repeated inspection process.
By this process, Daidoh has honed its proprietary technology to the top class, and is now in a position to take aim at the world market.

The final step in Daidoh’s wool finishing process is very important, as it determines the quality of the product.
That traditional technique is the British method of "Paper Press Finishing".
It is a long and laborious method, difficult to use in modern England, Italy, or even Japan.
Nonetheless, Daidoh has delicately preserved these techniques and theories, held firmly from its time as a domestic manufacturer through its move to Shanghai. Daidoh gives fabric finished with this process the label "PREMIUM FINISHING", and the company has been honored with high esteem from luxury brands around the world for the excellent texture of its products.
Paper press finishing is a lengthy process.
Fabric is folded by hand in a zig-zag pattern, then squeezed between sheets of a specially made thick paper, while applying electrical heat and hydraulic pressure over a full day and night.
This adds a natural gloss and a firm, silky texture.
