A spectacular, silk haori with large, striking metallic glinting urushi (lacquered silk thread) creating a woven tabane noshi design. The photos definitely don't do it justice
An extra long haori. On me, at a petite 157.5cm tall, it is well below knee length. All haori are long jackets but this one is a bit longer than most
Entirely hand tailored, like all top quality haori
Complete with hand braided silk himo (front ties), usually purchased separately
Awase (lined). Fully lined in silk too
Hand tailored in silk thread
In Japan, haori are not normally worn with a sash or belt, they are worn loosely, on top of a kimono and obi, but they also look great with a belt and with western world clothing; see examples shown on the home page.
May have shitsuke-ito stitching around the edge; shitsuke-ito is loose, temporary stitching that the Japanese put in to keep edges neat during storage, it just gets pulled out before wearing. These are often a sign that the garment has never been used
Type: A Japanese haori, a long jacket, with swinging sleeves, traditionally worn over a Japanese kimono but also great worn with contemporary clthing. Especially nice when worn belted, with casual trousers or a smart skirt
Made in Japan
