However, Batoner, with its top-tier domestic craftsmanship and excellent curation, offers a knit that is not simply a of Smedley. Not only does it surpass Smedley in quality, but its construction is also optimized for the Japanese climate, which is a significant point. Considering Japan's humid and hot summers, the yarn is twisted to create a strong-twisted yarn. This is then plied together and knitted on a special machine to achieve a dry touch that doesn't cling to the skin. However, overly strong twisting and dense knitting can lead to a stiff and rough texture. But that's where Sea Island Cotton comes in. Its exceptional softness prevents it from becoming too stiff, maintaining a supple feel while also ensuring good skin separation for a perfect finish. Visually, the beauty of the fabric and its luster are outstanding, exuding a class and sophistication that clearly conveys its superior quality. The undeniable luxury is palpable, and even someone uninterested in fashion would recognize that this is no ordinary garment. Despite being an ultra-high gauge knit (18 gauge, equivalent to 27 gauge on a full-fashioned machine like Smedley's), its dense construction makes it quite substantial, avoiding a delicate feel. Unlike some knits of this type, it doesn't feel flimsy, making it easy to wear without hesitation. It's also convenient that it can be hand-washed at home. (Although it has a hand-wash symbol, it can also be washed inside out, alone, in a laundry net, on the delicate cycle of a washing machine.) The adult, relaxed silhouette with a moderate amount of room is exquisite. It's not too loose to look sloppy, nor too tight to appear overly trendy, striking a perfect balance of elegance. The cuffs and hem are switched with ribbing, which tapers slightly to create a silhouette with a sense of definition. The sleeves are balloon-shaped, and the collar is slightly oversized but not excessively long, blending classic and modern elements. Color: Green
