＜SLOANE exclusive＞5G wool cashmere knit

The first collection expresses the "basic" of "NO.b".

This is a collaboration item with SLOANE, a brand that Okusa trusts. This knit is a modified version of the Wool/Cash 5G Jersey Crew Neck, and was ordered in red as an AMARC special color. There are two other special features of NO.b.

(1) The width of the rib around the neckline is now thicker and flatter than before.
By making the rib around the neckline wider, it gives a more casual impression. Also, by changing it to a flat rib, the rib is not too prominent, making it easier to match with a variety of bottoms.

(2) The front and back hems are different, and slits have been added to the sides.
By adding slits to the front and back hems, you can wear them tucked in or out with any bottom you like. The slits also add a casual feel.

The material is a blend of "Super Geelong lambswool" and "cashmere", which has a soft texture that can only be obtained from purebred sheep's wool. It has a light, fluffy and soft texture that you won't want to take off once you put it on.

The red, which is not bright red but looks like a single drop of ink, blends naturally with adult skin. If you wear it around your face, it will give you a healthy glow and an energetic impression. It is recommended to wear it as a top by itself, or to wrap it around your shoulders like a stole and coordinate it to enjoy the color.

Launched by stylist Naoko Okusa in AW 2024, the brand is like a magazine content, capturing the mood of the moment and expressing it as a new style. The brand name "NO.b" combines the initials of the publisher (director) Naoko Okusa's name, "NO", and the "b" from her favorite words, "book, beer, black, beach". The brand aims to be a brand that is full of surprises and joy "every issue", with the excitement of proposing styles that are a little ahead of the times, and the atmosphere of the times, based on the real feelings of a busy person who spends every day. The first collection expresses the "basic" of "NO.b", and is made up of navy jackets, shirts, double-faced sets and hoodies that Naoko Okusa has always loved.

This knitwear brand was launched in the fall/winter of 2016 with the idea of "making things that are comfortable for us to wear." Most of the products are produced in Japan, and mainly use natural materials such as high-quality silk, cotton, wool, and cashmere. The items are made with attention to even the smallest nuances, and are highly refined with beautiful knitting and three-dimensional silhouettes, which also make them extremely comfortable to wear. The basic, timeless designs fit the Japanese body type and are useful in a variety of situations. They can be worn by both men and women of all ages, and are loved by people of all ages and genders.
