A distinctive striped crew-neck knit from lot holon.
Size 46. Made in Japan. The original retail price appears to have been approximately ¥38,000 at the time.
The first thing that stands out is the exceptional color combination. Vivid green and deep navy are arranged in bold horizontal stripes, creating a strong visual identity while retaining the timeless simplicity of a classic crew-neck knit.
Rather than relying on neutral black, gray or beige tones, this piece confidently combines saturated green with a rich blue-toned navy. The colors are expressive, yet the traditional striped construction prevents the design from becoming excessively loud.
Another major feature is the lightweight texture of the fabric.
The material consists of 61% linen and 39% polyester. With linen forming the majority of the composition, the knit has an airy, dry and naturally textured character that is completely different from a heavy wool sweater.
The relatively open knitted structure creates subtle transparency and gives the garment an exceptionally light visual appearance. This makes it particularly attractive for transitional seasons, while the choice of inner layer allows the styling to be adjusted according to temperature.
The stripes are deliberately wide rather than narrow, giving the green and navy colors enough space to make a strong impact. At the same time, the neckline, hem and cuffs remain clean and restrained, keeping the overall design balanced.
The proportions are equally appealing.
With an approximate shoulder width of 47cm and chest width of 51cm, the garment offers comfortable room without becoming excessively oversized. Its approximately 67cm length keeps the silhouette compact enough to coordinate easily with a wide variety of trousers.
lot holon was known for taking familiar menswear foundations and introducing individuality through fabric selection, proportion and color. This knit demonstrates that approach particularly well: at first glance it is simply a striped sweater, yet the vivid palette and linen-rich construction give it a character of its own.
The care label carries the “wjk co., ltd.” name, and the garment was produced in Japan.
For styling, the strong colors work particularly well when the rest of the outfit is kept simple. Pair it with black trousers or wide-leg slacks for a modern look that allows the green and navy stripes to become the focal point.
Faded blue denim and simple sneakers can create a more relaxed, slightly retro atmosphere. Because of the open knitted texture, layering a plain white or black T-shirt underneath is another excellent option.
It can serve as the main piece during spring and autumn, while under a jacket or blouson it becomes an effective flash of color.
An excellent choice for someone who wants something more expressive than a plain knit without relying on logos or graphic prints. This is a memorable lot holon piece defined by its material, color balance and understated Japanese design.
