F-One is a chain MTM suit company in Japan.
I have a hard time seeing how rubberized fabric is going to make sense in a men's suit.

F-One Debuts Suits Using Fabric That Can Handle Downpour
TOKYO (Nikkei)--F-one Ltd. (8128), a leading maker of suits made to order, will soon offer the industry's first suits made from a synthetic rubber fabric that can quickly dry out without loss of shape after washing or after being caught in a downpour.
The suits will use a material developed by Yamamoto Corp. that was originally developed for swimwear but modified to be even more water-repellent.
Starting from early September, F-one will offer suits for both men and women at a price of 82,950 yen in its stores. The company hopes to sell 6,000 suits in the first year and generate sales of 500 million yen.
