Yonetomi

Yonetomi is a knitwear maker from Yamanobe in Yamagata Prefecture, Japan, founded in 1952. It keeps a knit textile development team in-house, which tells you where its priorities sit. The business runs on three strands: OEM and ODM work for others, plus its own label, COOHEM. Across all of it, the company plans, produces and sells knitted goods with a strong sense of individuality. Stockists such as Son of a Stag describe the clothing as knitwear and essentials made with carefully considered production methods and specialist machinery. Heritage-inspired craftsmanship sits alongside modern design, and the result is everyday garments that put quality, texture and long-lasting wear first. If you like a knit with some real fabric thinking behind it, this is a name to know.
