Dear blog readers, hello. This is Kamata from FLAGSHIP STORE.
Thank you very much to everyone who watched my recent Instagram Live. It's been a while since my last live stream, so I was a little nervous and some parts may have been hard to understand. Please forgive me (lol).
I introduced a certain item during the stream. I was captivated by it again, so I'd like to share it on my blog.
HIGH NECK KNIT
Item No : 80511140010
Colour : Dark Navy / Green / Ivory
Size : 46 / 48 / 50 / 52 / 54
When it gets cold, you just want to wear knitwear.
This year we have had a bumper crop of knitwear, including the TRIBAL CARDIGAN and Wool ML SWEATER that we previously introduced on our blog.
Meanwhile, this product is made in Britain. There are many reasons for its unique appeal.

"The Appeal of Scottish Sweaters"
There are four main reasons why Scottish-made sweaters are considered superior.
- The use of soft water, taking advantage of the region's natural characteristics.
- Reliable knitting techniques cultivated over a long history.
- An environment that allows for the use of high-quality raw wool.
- Skilled finishing techniques that determine the texture.
By using soft water that takes advantage of Scotland's natural environment, the wool is washed and felted without excessively removing oil, preserving its softness and fullness.
Furthermore, as a cultural centre for Fair Isle patterns and Shetland wool, Scotland boasts a large number of skilled artisans, resulting in superior knitting density and stable tension. The same applies to the classic yet elegant texture.
Climate is also important. Stable, low temperatures and humidity produce high-quality raw wool.
The raw wool is elastic and durable, retaining its shape even with repeated wear, making it appealing for years of use.
The final processes of washing, felting, and brushing are also extremely skilled. The combination of fluffy lightness and dense warmth creates a unique texture.
This product also demonstrates the high level of sewing technology.
The linking technology at the seams, the sophisticated neck design, and the zigzag details on the ribbing make it simple yet striking.

Wearing Size: 48 / Height: 175cm
"Versatile Silhouette and Design"
As you can see, this outstanding silhouette can be worn as both an inner layer and a top.
Unlike a turtleneck, the high neck creates a lighter look around the neck, making it easy to layer.
This product is inspired by sweaters beloved by explorers and fishermen.
It offers ample freedom of movement and comfort.

PT01-01 DUNGAREE - DENIM
Item No : 80511350520
Colour : Indigo
Size : 46 / 48 / 50 / 52 / 54
Personally, I recommend pairing it with DUNGAREE DENIM.
I tried to imagine Nigel Cabourn himself.
It also has elements of the sweaters worn by the Marines, so it goes naturally well with the navy-based DUNGAREE.
I'm wearing Ivory, but I think it would also look natural with Navy or Green.

Speaking of knitwear, made in Britain. I highly recommend trying it on at your local store.
It's packed with a unique charm that becomes even more apparent when you wear it.
It's been getting really cold lately. This will undoubtedly be a useful piece of winter wear this season.
