<SLOANE Exclusive> 5G Wool Cashmere Knit <Black>

This is a collaboration item with SLOANE, a brand trusted by NO.b's director, Naoko Okusa. It is a modified version of SLOANE's popular WOOL/CASH 5G Jersey Crew Neck. Following its popularity last year, this time the original NO.b colors of " black " and "lime" were ordered. There are also two other special features of NO.b.

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

(2) The hem is different in front and back, and a slit is added to the side . By adding a slit to the front and back, you can wear it tucked in or out when pairing it with your bottoms. The slit also adds a casual feel.

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

Black is a versatile piece that can be worn for any occasion, whether on or off the job. Lime may seem like an unusual color, but it actually matches a variety of colors, including navy, gray, burgundy, and deep green. Not only can you wear it as a top by itself, but we also recommend wrapping it around your shoulders like a stole to create a fun look with your outfit.

Launched by stylist Okusa Naoko in AW 2024, the brand is like the content of a magazine, capturing the mood of the moment and expressing it as a new style. The brand name "NO.b" combines the initials "NO" of publisher (director) Okusa Naoko and the "b" from Okusa's favorite words: "book, beer, black, beach." The brand aims to be full of surprises and joy in every issue, incorporating the real-life experiences of busy people, the excitement of proposing styles that are a little ahead of the times, and the atmosphere of the times. This second collection is based on the theme of " black ."

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, using natural materials such as high-quality silk, cotton, wool, and cashmere. The items are created with attention to detail, resulting in beautiful knitwear and three-dimensional silhouettes that are highly refined, making them extremely comfortable to wear. The basic, timeless designs fit the Japanese body type and are suitable for a variety of occasions. As they are unisex, they are loved by people of all ages and genders.
