Reinterpretation of Basque shirt

A classic Basque shirt that you can easily enjoy French casual wear all year round. Many of you may already have a favorite Basque shirt, which is made of durable material that lasts a long time and has a silhouette that you can wear nicely even as you get older. YONETOMI NEW BASIC, which pursues basic items with its own interpretation, has introduced WAVE COTTON Basque Knit Crew Neck WHITE / BLUE, which is a review of such Basque shirts from a new perspective. The tough material that seems to be a Basque shirt knitted with a degree of knitting and the silky texture that is not like a knit made by sticking to the selection of threads are truly unique. Basque knit, which is full of YONETOMI NEW BASIC-like commitment, will be one of your new favorites.

Basque knit made with Japanese technology

WAVE COTTON Crew neck is made of 100% cotton knit fabric made from yarn by Yonetomi fiber. By tightly knitting the wavy yarn, which is made by twisting thin cotton yarns repeatedly, the fabric feels soft and tough, which is different from the softness of knits. .. If you look closely, the fabric is uneven, giving it a vintage-like texture.

Also, being strong in washing is a nice point for everyday wear. Since it is washed once at the fabric stage, it is a knit, but you can wash it at home without worrying about shrinkage. Many Basque shirts are hard at the beginning, but YONETOMI NEW BASIC Basque knit is soft from the beginning. There is also elasticity unique to knit, realizing a relaxed comfort.

The light and dry touch fabric is comfortable to wear even if you touch your bare skin. The sleeve length is a little long, so if you dare to roll it up, it will look great, and the exquisite length that you can wear both in and out goes well with your pants and skirt, so you can choose the item you want to match. The versatile standard crew neck makes it an indispensable part of your wardrobe, even if your clothing preferences change. This is the one for those who like Japanese manufacturing, those who are looking for something comfortable from the beginning, and those who are looking for a Basque shirt that can be worn for a long time without hesitation.

From Yamagata, the production center of knitwear

In Yamagata Prefecture, many farmers kept silk moths, and the government encouraged the raising of sheep as a side job in rural areas, so each family made a living by spinning yarn. Area where industry has developed. There were many knitwear makers at one time, but it seems that overseas production has increased and the number of factories has decreased. Under such circumstances, Yonetomi Textile Co., Ltd., which was founded in 1952, has continued to knit sweaters while refining advanced knit textile development techniques.

From material development to product development and mass production, we are consistently doing everything at our own factory in Yamanobe Town. We introduced the first knitting computer and developed various textiles every day because we wanted to produce it in a fun and bright way. With a total of 43 fully automatic flat knitting machines, we are proud of our production system specializing in low gauge, which is the best in Japan and one in the world.

The founder repeated trial and error to overturn the dogma that "knits can't be worn in the summer", and after two years, he said that he published the manufacturing method of the summer sweater he created in the production area.・ It seems that the knitting industry, which was limited to winter and operated only for half a year, will be able to operate throughout the year, which will bring about a big change. Even now, I continue to search for ways of expression without compromising on history and tradition. YONETOMI NEW BASIC is a knit project in which such a manufacturer pursues basics by making full use of the development technology accumulated over many years. With the aim of "creating a unique personality from the mundane," we have created a basic that is close to the "new daily life" with the addition of nifty details and casual arrangements that are possible only at the factory.
