An antique, meisen silk haori, in a beautiful slightly shaded brown colour. 
Meisen silk is similar to taffeta, with a slight rustle as it rubs together, Meisen makes the garment hold its shape well and this one feels lovely.

Sizing:
Japanese clothing is usually of adjustable fit, being mostly wrap-over or tie-to-fit items, so most garments fit a range of sizes. Because of this (and only really knowing my own size anyway) I can't really advise anyone on the fit. Please judge fit from the measurements given.
Type:
Haori kimono jacket Awashe (fully lined). Lined, on the lower half, in the same silk as the outside and, on the upper half, in lighter, lining silk 
 
From the 1900s. This would have been very expensive, so was extremely well cared for and is in beautiful condition. You’d never guess its age. Vintage meisen kimonos and haori have recently become popular with young Japanese. Made and bought in Japan In Japan, haori are not normally worn with a sash or belt, they are worn loosely, on top of a kimono and obi, but they also look great with a belt and with western world clothing; see examples shown below this garment’s photos May have shitsuke, which is large, white stitching put in by the Japanese to keep garment seams neat during long periods of storage, it just gets pulled out prior to wearing These Japanese garments should be hung out to air 4 times per year, if not worn frequently, just as the Japanese do. Hang your garment to air when you receive it too, as it will have been stored for a while. 
 
An extra long haori, as was popular when this was made.
