YONETOMI NEW BASIC
Yonetomi’s knit project that pursues basics to accompany the “new normal” envisioned by Yonetomi Seni Co.,Ltd. Proposing everyday attire for the new lifestyle with thoughtful details and subtle touches made possible by our factory.

Watanabe’s Indigo Dyeing Studio
Located in Tokushima Prefecture, Watanabe’s cultivates the raw materials for indigo dyeing, known as “sukumo,” in-house and performs traditional, naturally derived indigo dyeing entirely by hand.

A Striking, Refreshing Color
Utilizing the Murakumo dyeing technique, a type of traditional tie dyeing, a delicate gradient from light blue to off-white is achieved. This gradation is achieved using the rare color known as “shiraai” (white indigo), which possesses transparency unique among indigo hues. Enjoy this precious hue that can only be produced at the end of the dyeing process.

Furthermore, it’s easy to care for as it’s suitable for home washing (without bleach and with separate washing).

The Perfect Thickness
Made with 100% cotton fabric known for its softness. By firmly knitting cotton yarn with a dense finish, it achieves the ideal thickness that is not too sheer and fulfills the functionality expected of both tops and innerwear.

Meticulous Neckline
For the neckline, which determines the impression of the T-shirt, a rib part knitted firmly using a flat knitting machine is used.

By shaping parts individually with a flat knitting machine, a beautiful curved silhouette along the neckline is achieved. Furthermore, to address the weakness of T-shirts that tend to lose shape after washing, the tightly knitted rib is layered to ensure the shape remains intact even after wearing and washing.

Comfortable Body Lines
The pattern is designed to have a beautiful silhouette with considerations for dropped shoulders, sleeve heights, and curved lines. This T-shirt, imbued with the high-quality techniques of a knit-exclusive brand from material to finish, elevates any outfit with its atmospheric presence.

Enjoy the comfort and style of this T-shirt, which stands out on its own.
