A men's silk Japanese, montsuki haori kimono jacket, with an incredible lining. The silk donsu lining has a majestic lion standing on a rock. Donsu are the most expensive of haori linings, often costing way more than the rest of the garment. The outer textile and lower lining is beautiful, smooth habutae silk This will have been a vastly expensive haori when new.
The raw edges are all hidden, so it can actually be worn inside out, with the lion on show.
Montsuki garments have 1, 3 or 5 mon (crests) and are formal garments. This haori has 5 mon, making it suitable for the most formal of occasions
Exquisitely hand tailored.
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 - minor light marks on one of the fronts - see photo.
 
Measurements:
Sleeve end to sleeve end 133cm
Sleeve seam to sleeve seam 65cm
Length 110cm
 
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.
