The Sailor Wool Knit Top from Japanese brand Quitan draws inspiration from the linen sailor shirts issued to the British Navy around 1915.
Crafted from a blend of Australian wool — sourced from sheep between lamb and mature stages, combining the softness and sheen of lamb’s wool with the resilience of Merino — and fine Merino wool from Tasmania’s Goulburn region.

The fabric undergoes a fulling process, resulting in a rich, tactile surface with a felt-like density that traps air for lightweight warmth and insulation. Designed with a signature sailor collar and relaxed fit, it reflects Quitan’s poetic reinterpretation of vintage military garments.

Quitan

Founded by designer Victoria Sae Miyata in Japan, Quitan is a clothing brand inspired by cultures and clothing from around the world. The brand is committed to paying homage to cultures and fashion from various parts of the globe through its neutral style designs. Quitan products aim to minimize their impact on the environment and the planet while integrating inspiration from traditional cultures with modern styles, creating comfortable, natural, and wearable pieces.

The brand name “quitan” comes from the Japanese word “kitan(綺譚（きたん)”, which means “a story written in beautiful prose.” As the concept of “exchange of cultures” expresses, many of the clothes are inspired by ethnic clothing and cultures from around the world, and the clothes are created with the image of connecting the dots of each individuality.

There were overflowing numbers of “differences” in our world.

Those differences would have been rooted in their respective fields, not been disharmony.

Before the diversity was uniformed by modernization, what was the world like?

“Quitan” is a bricolage of such fellowships for beautiful cultures.
