Fusion of Japanese and Western styles This jacket is a fusion of Japanese and Western styles to make the traditional Japanese dress more familiar to the everyday life of Japanese people. Slub fabric with a rustic and unique texture is used. The fabric is made of "slub yarn," which is intentionally spun so that it has thick and thin parts, and is characterized by its rustic texture and worn-in look. This thin and comfortable cotton material can be worn throughout the year, and the jacket can be used not only with samue but also with other clothing in many other situations. With a total of 6 colors available, you can enjoy a wide range of coordination and fashion. BACKSTITCHING WITHOUT SHOULDER STRIPPING A kimono is cut from a single piece of cloth with scissors at the minimum necessary position and then tailored so that a single piece of cloth connects the front and back.The making of Wasuian's jacket follows this method. Of course, it would be easier if the shoulders were sewn into small parts like in Western clothing, but this would change the silhouette of the shoulders, which is unique to traditional Japanese garments.Also, a seam is created on the back by using a backstitch. In the olden days, Japanese people believed that the seams of the backstitching had the power to prevent evil from creeping up from behind or entering through the back. Wasuian's jacket continues this tradition. 100% Cotton Fabric thickness: Thin (0.45mm) Recommended season: Spring, Fall Machine washable (with a net) Made in Japan Item weight: 310g (Size L) Size Chart Size M L LL cm inch cm inch cm inch Top length of the Jacket 73 28 1/2 78 30 1/2 83 32 1/2 Length of theneck to the wrist 73 28 1/2 78 30 1/2 83 32 1/2 Specifications Pockets at the sides Video of this item Fabric Sample Buy this Fabric Sample Related Articles Care Instructions Fabrics for Making Traditional Japanese Samue Samue: Traditional Japanese Clothing Shipping and Taxes All of the international orders are shipped by DHL or FedEx.
