A black silk pongee, men’s Japanese haori kimono jacket, with hawk feather mon (crests)
This is a formal montsuki haori.
Fully lined in silk, it has a Kojo Noh Mask on its donsu lining. Woven donsu silk linings are vastly expensive and only on the most top quality haori, these linings often cost more than all the beautiful, expensive fabric used for the rest of the haori.
Beautiful pure silk textile, exquisitely hand tailored.
Any large white stitches are called shitsuke and were put there, in Japan, to keep the seams and edges flat during storage. Those big, loose stitches are easlily pulled out prior to use. These garments are so very, very expensive that the Japanese take great care of them in ways like this.
Haori look very stylish worn with a long sleeved sweater or tee shirt underneath, with the ends of the sweater or tee shirt's sleeves showing at the wrists
 
Condition:
Excellent - see photos
 
Measurements:
Sleeve end to sleeve end 131cm
Sleeve seam to sleeve seam 67cm
Length 111cm
 
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.
