First Pick Suvin Gold Basque Knit〔MILK×ECRU〕

— Suvin Gold / Border Basque Knit —

A striped Basque knit made from Suvin cotton, an extra-long-staple cotton cultivated in southern India.

It uses what is known as “Suvin Gold”: cotton from the first and second harvests, hand-picked from the bolls.

Suvin Gold is characterized by its exceptionally fine, long, and supple fibers.
In addition, the natural oils contained in the cotton give it a smooth, subtly viscous hand and natural luster unlike ordinary cotton.

Carefully knitted from this yarn, each stitch is beautifully even, creating a knit that develops a soft drape despite being made of cotton.

The design is a panel stripe based on the Basque shirt.

Rather than cutting fabric into shape as with a cut-and-sew garment, the silhouette is formed by increasing and decreasing the number of stitches while knitting.
As the stitches themselves trace curves along the shoulders and body, the result is a balanced silhouette with ample ease that still retains its shape.

Stripes are a deeply familiar pattern.
That is precisely why, instead of adding color or embellishment, the design allows the quality of the yarn and the beauty of the stitches to speak for themselves.

A piece that lets you enjoy the smoothness and drape of Suvin Gold in the everyday form of a Basque knit.
