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

A collaboration item with "SLOANE," a brand trusted by Naoko Okusa, director of NO.b. This is a modified version of SLOANE's popular "WOOL/CASH 5G Rib Crew Neck." Due to its popularity last year, this time we ordered “black” and “lime” as NO.b's original colors. In addition, there are two other special NO.b features:

(1) The width of the collar ribbing is wider and flatter than conventional models.
By making the collar ribbing wider, it creates a more casual impression. Also, by making it flat, the ribbing doesn't stand out too much, making it easier to pair with various bottoms.

(2) The hem has a front-to-back difference, and slits are added to the sides.
By adding a front-to-back difference and slits, it becomes easy to tuck in or leave out when pairing with bottoms. The slits also add a sense of effortless style.

The material is a blend of fine lamb's wool from Australian Merino sheep, known for its high quality, and precious white cashmere from Inner Mongolia. It has a light, voluminous, and soft texture that makes it irresistible once you wear it.

Black is a versatile piece that you can rely on anytime, whether for work or leisure, as it truly suits any occasion. While lime might seem like an unusual color, it actually pairs well with various colors such as navy, gray, bordeaux, and deep green. Not only can it be worn as a single top, but we also recommend coordinating it by wrapping it around your shoulders like a stole to enjoy the color.

The basic, timeless designs fit the Japanese physique and are active in various scenes. As they can be worn by all genders, they are loved by people of all ages.

Launched in Autumn/Winter 2024 by stylist Naoko Okusa. This brand captures the mood of the moment and expresses it as a new style, much like magazine content. The brand name "NO.b" combines "NO," the initials of its publisher (director) Naoko Okusa, and "b" from Okusa's favorites: "book, beer, black, beach." Based on the realities of being a busy person living everyday life, and the excitement of proposing styles that are a little ahead of their time, while reflecting the atmosphere of the era, the brand aims to be filled with surprise and joy "issue after issue." This second collection focuses on the theme of "black."
