Fusion of Japanese and Western styles

We want to bring Japanese traditional clothing into everyday life as something more familiar. This jacket is not only for wearing with samue but also for wearing with everyday clothes. This is a haori-type thick sashiko jacket recommended for fall and winter.

The thick fabric is warm just by wearing a single piece. It has a luxurious and supple texture and a rustic sense of dignity.

We hope you will wear this jacket for going out and relaxing in comfort.

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. It would be much 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.

　Notes on size selection

Due to the slow weave for softening, and the nature of natural cotton fibers, this product tends to shrink after washing. The product can shrink more or less depending on the washing method and frequency, but if it is used for a long time, the length of the top and pants will shrink. If you're wondering which size to choose, choose the larger one.

　What is “Sashiko-ori”?

"Sashiko-ori" is one of the weaving methods of fabric for reinforcement and decoration. This technique was used in firefighting clothing in the past and is still used in martial arts clothing such as judo and kendo even today.

In the past, "sashiko" were manually stitched one by one, but later were made easier through mechanical methods, and textiles were developed so that the pattern of the sashiko would appear.

The sturdy weave and rustic look make it a perfect fit for autumn and winter outfits.
