BATONER and COMME des GARÇONS HOMME have joined forces for the first time on a five-piece knitwear capsule
The collection is built on solid wool, the material most closely associated with the Yamagata knitwear label
Military-derived detailing and fade processing sit alongside BATONER’s signature rib-knit construction
BATONER and COMME des GARÇONS HOMME have come together for their first joint collection, a compact capsule that runs the Yamagata knit specialist’s solid wool through the Japanese label’s design lens. The lineup counts five product numbers in total, splitting into three knit tops and two accessories.
At the core of the capsule is solid wool, the yarn BATONER treats as its representative material. That base gives the pieces their density and structure, and it carries the collaboration’s defining surface treatments rather than sitting quietly underneath them.
The construction leans on BATONER’s rib-knit signature line, the ridged stitch pattern the brand uses as an identifying mark across its knitwear. Against that texture, COMME des GARÇONS HOMME contributes military-derived design cues and a fade processing treatment that pulls tonal variation across the surface of each garment, giving the wool a worn, weathered finish.
The split between three tops and two accessories keeps the range tight, with the knitwear carrying the bulk of the material story and the smaller goods extending the same solid wool and finishing language. It is a focused first outing rather than a sprawling one, with each of the five pieces working the same set of construction and surface ideas.
The BATONER x COMME des GARÇONS HOMME capsule is available now via COMME des GARÇONS HOMME directly-operated stores and stockists, rolling out sequentially.
