Fans on Navy Kimono
  • A navy blue, Japanese kimono, covered in pretty fans, with flowers, cranes and touches of pale gold, speckled detailing. The Japanese revere cranes, a bird signifying long life
  • Synthetic silk. The Japanese excel at making synthetic silks.
  • Hand tailored, like all quality, vintage kimonos
  • Hitoe (unlined) kimono. Being unlined does not mean lesser quality; unlined kimonos are intended for summer, outdoor wear
  • The Japanese take great pains to store their traditional garments with the utmost care, which is why they stay in such exceptional condition.
  • Please be aware that different monitors display colour slightly differently. Therefore the colour in the photos and description is a guide onlyPlease be aware

  • Kimono require a sash to hold them closed. This is always bought separately. Men usually wear a kaku obi with their kimono or, casually at home, a soft heko obi

    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. Check length given for the garment, then measure from base of back of your neck down to judge that length on you
    Also 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

    Some of my garments have white stitching (shitsuke) round the outside edges to keep the edges flat during long periods of storage, these stitches just get pulled out before wearing the garment

    Cleaning: Be very cautious about washing kimonos. All cleaning is done entirely at your own risk, as is standard with all vintage garments and items. I would advise only dry cleaning

    Colour: Please be aware that different monitors display colour slightly differently. Therefore the colour in the photos and description is a guide only
