Despite being relatively recently established in 2013, Batoner is the proprietary brand of the Okuyama Meriyasu knitwear company, which was founded in the 1950s. Batoner, meaning "one who inherits", proudly represents the nearly century-old craftsmanship of the Japanese prefecture of Yamagata, which has grouped together the best knitting factories in Japan for many years. With only about fifteen factories still active today, each strives to perpetuate the techniques and traditions that have made this region famous.

In this context, Batoner offers a wide range of sweaters, vests, and cardigans made from their Signature knit. This knit is produced by the family-owned Sato Seni mill also located in Yamagata. It is made from a merino wool yarn and offers substantial weight while maintaining flexibility and breathability thanks to an openwork stitch. The spinning technique used preserves the authenticity of the wool and gives the final knit a unique ribbed appearance.

For this round collar sweater, the design is simple and minimalist to maintain the timeless aura cherished by the manufacturer. The assembly of the raglan sleeves supports a versatile straight drop that will easily pair with a wide range of outfits and combinations. This Crew Neck is equipped with a thick, reinforced neckline that will ensure its shape over time. With its substantial weight, this sweater provides great heat retention to effectively combat the winter. It is presented here in a deep, elegant, and timeless black.
