Turtleneck Knit Pullover¥34,000+Tax
I would like to call it mustard color.
It is neither yellow nor orange. Dull mustard yellow is a versatile color. It blends well with faded chinos, dark gray slacks, and of course denim shorts, creating a cozy adult mood. The turtleneck knit from agnes b. has a different weave at the yoke and neck to create a simple yet expressive piece. The soft and comfortable texture of this knit will make you feel the full comfort of wearing it. By the way, I think that this austere color is more aptly called "mustard" rather than "mustard yellow. You are an adult if you can wear this color without hesitation. Whether worn alone or as an inner layer of a coat, this is a garment that can be worn for a long time, from early fall to midwinter.

LAURENCE J.SMITH
Lawrence Jay Smith¥18,800+Tax
Rare knitwear from a long-established company.
A grocery store opened in 1923 in the Shetland Islands, located in the north of Scotland. The sweaters sold there were well received, and in 1930, with full-scale machines and 12 knitters, the company began full-scale production of Shetland sweaters. This was the origin of Lawrence Jay Smith, the fruit of the wisdom of the common people, so to speak, created to protect their lives and livelihood in the harsh natural environment of the Shetland Islands, which are made up of more than 100 islands. Although the impression of traditional and rustic knitwear may come to mind, skilled hand-knitters are actively introducing computer technology and pursuing high perfection in their knitwear every day. The shaggy-dock knit introduced here is made of Shetland wool. The light fluff gives it a mohair-like nuance and accentuates its transparent emerald green color. The round-body knit is a truly precious item, as it can only be knitted on old knitting machines used since 1930. This is a rare and precious item, and the fact that it can be obtained for less than 20,000 yen (¥) makes us believe that this long-established company is truly a masterpiece.

Andersen Andersen's sailor sweaters, which have quickly become a household name over the past few years, boast such high durability that they have overturned the perception of what a "sweater" was. Knitted from thick, long-fiber merino wool produced in a spinning mill in northern Italy, the knit fabric is heavy and supple, and becomes more attractive with each wear. The symmetrical construction of the front and back is inspired by old naval sailor sweaters. It was conceived so that the wearer could wear it with ease while working on a ship without having to worry about the direction of the front and back. To give the symmetrical construction a modern and beautiful silhouette, a special knitting technique is used for the neckline, and the number of seams is adjusted to follow the lines of the body beautifully. If you inspect the garment closely, you will notice the meticulous craftsmanship, such as the neatly processed inside seam allowance and the canned stoppers on all the parts. The milk tea color is a new color for 2016. The color is said to have its roots in the duffle coats of the British Royal Navy during World War II, and we are truly impressed by the robustness of these clothes.

AURALEE
Oralee's Superfine Rib Knit¥36,000+Tax
A tightly packed knit.
The dichotomy of knitwear. Softness and durability. This rib-knit pullover is Auralee's attempt to achieve both of these (without permission). The most notable feature is the fabric. The raw material is an ultra-fine wool fiber called "Super 130's," spun into a very fine count yarn, twisted into many strands, and knitted to the limit with a double-breasted ribbed knit. This is a series of technical terms, but it means that by using a lot of high quality raw materials, a knit fabric with luster, softness, and durability has been realized. The power of the tight knitting is unparalleled. The shoulder joints and the neck and arm area are knit less, and the knit is adjusted to fit the body beautifully. Thanks to this, even though it is heavy in the hand, it does not stiffen the shoulders when worn. Of course, it is extremely warm and is a piece that makes you look forward to welcoming winter.

White cashmere.
The origins of the "Cruciani" brand can be found in Perugia, Umbria, the only region in Italy that is not bordered by the sea.

Taking full advantage of its large capital, the company maintains stable quality and high quality by integrating spinning, dyeing, and production at its own factories.

JOHN SMEDLEY
John Smedley mock neck knit¥32,000+Tax
The pride of being a classic.
John Smedley was founded in 1784 on the banks of a river in Derbyshire, England. At the time, Japan was in the middle of the Edo period (1603-1868), and we first of all respect the attitude of continuing honest manufacturing for over 200 years. There is much to be learned from the British national character and economic system that respects and preserves the culture of craftsmanship. This mock-neck knitwear is made of 30-gauge New Zealand merino wool, a standard material that the brand prides itself on. Needless to say, John Smedley is widely known as a standard for knitwear, but even its standard patterns are repeatedly updated season after season, and the brand is always pioneering new styles. This mock neck is one of them. Although it is a standard item, it has been out of production for a while now, and this season the silhouette has been reconsidered and released anew. The fit of the neck, which does not feel tight at all, becomes addictive once you take it in. The more you know about this brand, the more attractive it is, and the more you know about it, the more you will be attracted to it as a classic.

The beauty of knitting.
I was talking with stylist Ida-san about Japanese knitwear brands, and we all agreed that "Lappin Knot" is one of them. The brand was established in 2012 and is produced at UMEDA KNIT, one of the leading knit factories in Japan, located in Gosen-shi, Niigata Prefecture. The factory, which handles everything from yarn production to sewing and finishing, boasts a wide variety of knitting fabrics. The "Rappin' Knot" is an exquisitely modern take on a traditional technique that Japan prides itself on. The multiple tuck knitting technique uses wool for the outer surface and cashmere for the reverse side that touches the skin, achieving both warmth and comfort. When you run your hand over the uneven surface, you can feel the rich softness of the knit. The details of the cuffs and the double-layered collar are also key points that make you excited to wear it.

Le Tricoture¥19,800+Tax
Knits for men of the sea.
A refreshingly bright red. It is a flashy color, but strangely elegant and chic. The British Isles consist of approximately 6,000 islands. The "Gandhi Sweater" is a sweater born on Gandhi Island in the Channel Islands, which is uniquely self-governing among them. The origin of the sweater is a hand-framed knit that women knit for the men working in the fierce seas, praying for their safety. The reason for expressing the family crest in the knitted fabric is anecdotally explained so that the family crest can be quickly identified in case of an emergency. Le Tricoture was established on Gandhi Island in 1964, and has been manufacturing Gandhi knitwear using traditional methods handed down from generation to generation since the 1800s. The sweaters are tightly knit, with strong twisting applied during the spinning process, and each stitch is impervious to rain and spray, and even when 30% of the fabric contains water, it is impervious to dampness. The sweaters are hand-finished without relying on machines, and the final knitter's signature is handwritten on the certificate. A piece of clothing made for the ultimate environment of the sea, and worn in a concrete city. It seems like a truly modern luxury.

Diesel gradient knit¥24,000+Tax
Gradation is done by post-dyeing.
From Diesel, which enjoys solid popularity for its colorful Italian creations, this two-tone knit is a great choice. The knit fabric of moderate thickness softly contains air and feels very soft against the skin, and when worn alone over a T-shirt or tank top, you can feel the comfort of the high quality lamb's wool with its excellent heat retention properties. The most striking feature of this item is the gradation from the shoulders to the cuffs. The beautiful blurring of the color boundaries is due to the post-dyeing process. The skill and attitude of the designer to take an authentic knit item and rearrange it in such a contemporary way is unmistakable. There is no blurring.

It's just terrific. This turtleneck knit in "flannel" is eye-catching with its mixed browns and wide ribs. The rich knit texture created by twisting wools with different properties gives it a unique presence. The Gironde region of Australia is famous for its wool. Extra fine lamb's wool, which is produced in the Gironde region of Australia, is delicate and lightweight, and is spun into a yarn without aligning the lengths of the individual hairs, resulting in a wool of the highest quality. Furthermore, by twisting the camel wool into the extra fine lambswool, the best knit fabric is created with the addition of fur, softness, and lightness. By changing the color of each yarn, a beautiful and fine melange is achieved. It is knitted on a rare manual flat knitting machine, which is said to be on the verge of extinction, and features a soft, puffy silhouette. Worn in a loose-fitting size, it will give you a rich and relaxed look. It is a primitive and beautiful piece of clothing that sets itself apart from the trends.
