YONETOMI NEW BASIC / Rigid Cashmere Knit Cardigan

YONETOMI NEW BASIC
This knitwear project by Yonetomi pursues basics that align with the “new normal” of daily life. With thoughtful details and subtle arrangements made possible by being a factory brand, they propose outfits for everyday living.

Durable Cashmere Knit Cardigan
This cashmere knit cardigan is designed to be worn comfortably in everyday situations, conforming to your body like denim as you wear it. By using luxurious cashmere yarn and knitting it meticulously, it achieves a tough and durable texture that defies traditional expectations of cashmere sweaters.

This fabric is hand-washable at home. Unlike typical cashmere, which is often perceived as difficult to care for, this material is crafted with a unique interpretation that allows the natural softness of cashmere to emerge with repeated washing.

Attention to Yarn Quality
The cardigan employs a high-twist cashmere yarn, not usually found in soft cashmere sweaters. This custom yarn, twisted to the limit, boasts high durability and resists pilling—an understated but significant feature.

Enjoy the Aging Process
To encourage the appreciation of aging, the knitwear is finished in a rigid state without any “washing” or “dyeing” processes, which are typically essential for knit products.

The fabric features a scent reminiscent of spinning oil found in workwear and transforms into the soft texture characteristic of cashmere over time, allowing you to enjoy your unique cashmere knit.

Streamlined V-Neck Design
The neckline is a V-shape, offering a clean impression around the face. Compared to a crew neck, it provides a more refined appearance, serving as a stylish counterpoint to a relaxed silhouette.

The cuffs and hem feature stretchy ribbing, enhancing comfort with a suitable fit. Additionally, the wood-patterned buttons add a subtle touch to the simple design, infusing a classic feel into the cardigan.

The cardigan features a slightly relaxed box silhouette. Made from high-quality cashmere, it pairs well with shirts and chinos, achieving a smart-casual look. It can also be styled with simple sneakers and T-shirts for a refined casual vibe.
