The inline drivers from BATONER are knitted in a way that creates a more voluminous and draped texture, known as "katabune". However, this special model features a "ryoubune" knitting technique, resulting in a flatter appearance and a more structured image.
When it comes to the inline drivers, they have a raglan pattern, while this model has a set-in pattern, which is a notable difference.
I believe each has its own characteristics, but I feel that this one gives a cleaner impression.
The detail of not having ribbing at the hem and cuffs, which is typical of knits without ribbing, contributes to a more streamlined and neat impression for this special model.
The zipper on the inline model is silver, while this special model features a black zipper that matches the body color, creating an all-black finish that differentiates it from the inline version, giving it a unique vibe that can only be found at Dice and Dice.
I think it would be nice to wear it alone as a jacket or cardigan, but since the zipper is also black, it can be worn as a subtle point under a coat, giving it a more special feel.
I believe it pairs well with any bottoms, making it a model that fits well with the individual's style in a positive way.
