A black silk haori kimono jacket made of beautiful soft silk, with a really spectacular silk lining. The body is extra long and the sleeves extra deep.
It has gosho guruma (Imperial carriages) woven into the black silk in glinting, metallic urushi coated silk threads. Haori are so beautifully made, with the seam edges hidden both inside and out, that you could easily wear them inside out and show off the beautiful linings many of them have. Few, however, have a lining quite as fabulous as this one
It also has one embroidered mon at centre back, making it suitable for slightly formal wear
Made in and bought from Japan
This haori has 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

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.Measure from centre back of neck, along shoulder and down the arm to the wrist, then double that and compare it with the sleeve end measurement to judge sleeve length. You can get a rough idea of the length and size, as most haori are roughly the same size, from the photos further down this page, below this haori’s photos, where you can see some modelled by a UK size 10 woman who is 155cm (5’ 1”) tall and about 125 cm from wrist to wrist.
Type:
Haori kimono jacket Awashe (lined). Light lining fabric on the upper lining, the lower lining is the same fabric as the outside
