Entirely hand tailored, like all top quality haori
Made and bought in Japan
The Japanese take great pains to store their traditional garments with the utmost care, which is why they stay in such exceptional condition. Some of my Japanese garments have large, white stitching (shitsuke) round the edges. The Japanese put these stitches in to keep the edges flat during long periods of storage, these stitches just get pulled out before wearing the garment
Please be aware that different monitors display colour slightly differently, therefore the colour in the photos and description is a guide only

Condition:
Excellent – Barely noticeable, faint foxing spots on a white flower at the front – see last photo.

Measurements:
Length (known as mitake) 80 cm
Sleeve end to sleeve end 134 cm
Shoulder to shoulder seam (known as yuki) 65 cm

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 from the measurements given
