YONETOMI NEW BASIC / Rigid Cashmere Knit Pullover - Top Gray

YONETOMI NEW BASIC
A knitwear project from Yonetomi, pursuing basics that resonate with “the new everyday.” With thoughtful details and subtle design adjustments made possible by in-house craftsmanship, the collection proposes timeless essentials that blend seamlessly into modern life.




Cashmere yarn twisted to its limit
Contrary to the usual pursuit of softness, this cashmere yarn takes the opposite approach. To enhance strength, the fibers are twisted to the very brink of breaking—pushing the limits of what cashmere can endure.

・Resists pilling
・Retains shape over time
・Exceptional durability

This structural strength gives the knit a unique character—like denim, it ages beautifully, developing softness and individuality through wear.



Densely knitted for a decade of wear
Each piece is tightly knitted over time, resulting in a fabric with the heft and tension of premium sweatshirt material.

・Firm at first wear
・Softens gradually with use
・Highly resistant to fuzzing

This meticulous density gives the sweater a unique pleasure—an experience of “cultivating” the garment as it evolves with you.



Rigid finish: a knit left intentionally “unfinished”
While most cashmere garments undergo washing, fulling, and softening treatments, this knit is delivered in its raw, rigid state—leaving completion to the wearer. Through repeated wear and gentle hand washing, the natural oils gradually fade, and the texture softens to reveal a one-of-a-kind expression.

Unusually for knitwear, it arrives with the faint scent of spinning oil, emphasizing the authenticity of its material-first philosophy.





Design in its purest form
The moderately fitted crew neck features a soft rib that comfortably layers over shirts or under outerwear. Every element has been refined to remove excess, focusing purely on form and texture.





The cuffs and hem offer a gentle hold without tightness, adding subtle structure to the silhouette.



Timeless in design and versatile in styling, it easily complements existing wardrobes—anchoring any outfit with understated sophistication.





Balanced ease for modern life
The straight, structured form allows for subtle volume without appearing sloppy—achieved through the tightly packed knit fabric.

Its balanced silhouette transitions effortlessly between smart and casual looks, while the durable construction makes it wearable across seasons—from cool spring mornings to crisp autumn days.
