Alpaca Sixteen / Crew Neck Jumper, Natural White
On sale October 22 at 9:00 PM (JST)
Design
The “Crew Neck Jumper,” a drop-shoulder style tailored in a clean jersey knit.
While ordinary alpaca fiber is thick and tends to make jersey knitting prone to irregularities, using the extremely fine, long-staple “Alpaca Sixteen” achieves a clean knit structure that's rare for alpaca. A subtly sheer, airy look and a soft drape are also characteristic.
A thumbhole for the thumb is placed in the long ribbed cuffs, enhancing warmth at the wrists while also keeping the inside of the cuff from directly touching the skin when worn under a coat. Full-grain leather elbow patches are applied at the elbows, adding a sharp, refined accent distinct from the rib-knit models.
Recommended Comment
A piece that lets you enjoy the smooth touch and beautiful luster unique to “Alpaca Sixteen” in a light, airy way, thanks to a jersey knit that's rare for alpaca.
With a moderately thin knit and a soft drape, it doesn't add bulk whether worn alone or layered under a jacket or coat, keeping you looking clean. Despite this, it retains alpaca's high warmth, offering more heat than its appearance suggests.
The full-grain leather elbow patches add strength to its refined look, pairing well with a shirt peeking out at the hem or styled with wide trousers. Even a simple outfit gains natural depth, giving it a somewhat traditional air.

100% Alpaca
“Alpaca Sixteen,” a new fabric made from an extremely fine, 16-micron alpaca fiber that became selectable for the first time in Peru in recent years.
At 16 microns, the fiber is as fine as cashmere, equivalent to a Super 140–150 grade when converted to wool standards. It ranks even above Imperial Alpaca, long known as a premium-grade material, making it an exceptionally rare raw material by global standards.
While offering the smooth, slightly waxy hand and beautiful luster unique to alpaca, its extremely fine fiber is gentle on the skin, giving a smooth, soft touch. It also has moderate resilience and loft, resulting in a rich texture with depth.
A luxurious material full of a special quality that overturns the conventional image of alpaca.

デザイン
すっきりとした天竺編みで仕立てた、ドロップショルダーの「Crew Neck Jumper」。
一般的なアルパカは繊維が太く、天竺編みでは編み地が乱れやすい一方、極細で繊維長のある「Alpaca Sixteen」を使用することで、アルパカでは珍しい綺麗な編み地を実現しています。ほんのりと透け感のある軽やかな表情と、柔らかな落ち感も特徴です。
袖口の長めのリブには親指を通すサムホールを配置し、手元の防寒性を高めるとともに、コート着用時には袖口の内側が直接肌に触れにくい仕様に。肘には表革を使用したレザーのエルボーパッチを施し、畦編みモデルとは異なるシャープで上品なアクセントを加えています。
おすすめコメント
アルパカでは珍しい天竺編みによって、「Alpaca Sixteen」ならではの滑らかな肌触りと美しい光沢を軽やかに楽しめる一着。
程よく厚みを抑えた編み地と柔らかな落ち感で、一枚ではもちろん、ジャケットやコートのインナーとしてもかさばりにくく、すっきりと着用できます。それでいてアルパカならではの高い保温性があり、見た目以上の暖かさも魅力です。
表革のエルボーパッチが上品な表情に力強さを加え、シャツを裾から覗かせたレイヤードや、ワイドトラウザーズとのスタイリングも好相性。シンプルな着こなしにも自然と奥行きが生まれ、どこかトラッドな雰囲気を楽しめる一着です。
