This Haori light jacket made of ramie fabric crosses the boundaries of kimono and Japanese garment. Since its founding in 1955, TAKEMURA CO., LTD. has been dedicated to Japanese-style clothing. While kimono has become an extraordinary item that people rarely wear, this product was created in hope of bringing back kimono as an item to be worn again on daily basis and that people can enjoy wearing Japanese-style clothing in a more free and fun way.
This Haori jacket is designed with a modern twist so that it could be worn for everyday use. Focusing on ease of use and movement, the Haori jacket comes with pockets on both sides and a vent (a vertical slit) on the backside. It also has loops (“chi”) on both sides of the front collar to which you can hook a Haori himo cord so that the Haori can be worn elegantly over yukata or kimono. The loose fitting is easy to wear not only on top of Japanese-style clothing but also with T-shirt or almost anything. It also fits perfectly the concept of “one mile wear” fashion. In addition, it also works well as a convenient piece for controlling your body temperature when spending time at home such as telecommuting, or to have on hand for travel as it is lightweight.
The fabric is very easy to wash, durable and stains can be removed easily by washing. The silk-like sheen, the crisp finish and natural wrinkles are the unique features of the linen fabric that cannot be expressed with other materials.
