Japanese KIMONO/Haori JACKET

Amazing, vintage, short length Haori jacket in very good condition.

The fabric is a mid-weight possibly silk/silk blend however there are no labels to confirm this. A pale green background with a faint but darker diamond pattern and dark green dots, the material has a silvery, shimmering floral pattern woven into it almost like a watermark- very beautiful. Traditional kimono styling with rectangular split sleeves and an open front, ties to fasten. So versatile and easy to wear. Top 2/3 lined.

Beautifully handmade and unusually seems to need no attention! No snags or tears but it does have a couple of marks to the left sleeve. This item has been in storage for some time and may need cleaning.

Japanese clothing is usually of adjustable fit, being mostly wrap-over or tie-to-fit items, so most garments fit a range of sizes.  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.
