Despite being a relatively recent creation dating back to 2013, Batoner is the proprietary brand of the knitwear company Okuyama Meriyasu, established in the 1950s. Batoner, which means "one who inherits," proudly represents the nearly century-old expertise of Japan's Yamagata prefecture, which for many years was home to the best knitwear manufacturers in Japan. Today, there are only around fifteen remaining, each striving to preserve the techniques and traditions that have made this region famous.

Specializing in woolen knitwear, Batoner leverages its experience to offer high-quality cotton sweatshirts and t-shirts, crafted on specific machines. This Jumberca Urake Crewneck is slowly knitted on an old German knitting machine called Jumberca, chosen for the fluffy texture it gives the knit. The yarns used for the outer part of the sweatshirt are air spun to achieve a light feeling despite the density, while ensuring a high level of durability. The inside is made from a softer yarn to make the sweatshirt comfortable to wear even though it is not brushed. Unbrushed fabrics offer greater versatility, suitable for wearing in different seasons.

For the cut, Batoner stays true to its style with a simple and minimalist drape, slightly boxy with a generous raglan armhole that tapers to the wrist for a uniform silhouette and perfect fit. The 2 side pockets add an ergonomic touch while remaining nearly invisible when worn.
