Summer Knit Yonetomi

Yonetomi Fibers has developed a new genre of summer knitwear through repeated trial and error in order to overturn the common belief that knitwear cannot be worn in summer. The company continues to evolve its efforts to create a garment that can be worn every day as casually as an ordinary T-shirt, yet exudes a quality of material and elegance that is quite different from that of an ordinary T-shirt.

The COTTON SUKASHI short-sleeved knit shirt is a piece that makes the most of such techniques and experience. It has a good degree of transparency and elasticity that only knit fabrics can produce.

Made with Japanese technology
Yonetomi Textile Co., Ltd. has been developing knit textile technology since its establishment as a knit factory, and is committed to manufacturing products of unparalleled quality in the world. YONETOMI NEW BASIC is a knitwear project launched by this long-established manufacturer to develop basic items that will accompany you in your "new daily life.

COTTON SUKASHI short-sleeved knit shirt is a cool open-necked knit shirt with a moderate transparency. The use of compact spin cotton yarn, a cotton yarn with reduced fluffiness, provides a comfortable feel on sweaty days with just the right amount of bounce and lightness. Another great point is that even though it is a knit, it can be hand-washed at home, making it easy to care for.

A bit of playfulness can be glimpsed in the open collar shirt. As the name "open collar shirt" suggests, the collar opens up to give a casual look around the neck. The transparent fabric of the COTTON SUKASHI short-sleeved knit shirt makes it fun to choose the color of your innerwear. It will broaden the range of your summer coordination by daring to match it with bright colors or printed T-shirts. Also, the knit shirt is not as stiff as a woven shirt, making it easy to use as a woven cardigan. It looks great even when worn over a plain T-shirt.

From Yamagata, a production center of knitwear
At one time, there were many knit manufacturers in the area, but the number of factories has been decreasing due to the increase in overseas production. In the midst of this situation, Yonetomi Textile Co., Ltd. was established in 1952 and has continued to knit sweaters while honing its advanced knit textile development technology.

The company has been consistently engaged in everything from material development to product development and mass production at its own factory in Yamanobe-cho. We have been developing various textiles day by day. With a total of 43 fully automatic flat knitting machines, the company boasts the best production system in Japan and one of the best in the world, specializing in low gauge.

The founder, after two years of trial and error to overturn the common belief that "knitwear cannot be worn in summer," made the process of producing summer sweaters public within the production area. It is said to have brought about a great transformation. Even today, the industry continues to search for ways to express itself without resting on its laurels of history and tradition. YONETOMI NEW BASIC is a knitwear project that pursues basics by making full use of the development technologies accumulated by such a manufacturer over the years. Aiming to "knit out of commonplace things a unique individuality that cannot be found anywhere else," YONETOMI NEW BASIC produces basics that accompany "new everyday life" with thoughtful details and casual arrangements that are possible only at a factory.
