JK-64
Padded sashiko jacket
The warp thread is made of cotton, and the front, middle, and back are each woven with different weft threads, creating an original triple-layered fabric. The wool on the front is woven finely and densely to prevent wind from entering, while the silk spun pongee thread on the back absorbs moisture well and feels soft against the skin. The spongy wool single thread on the middle is left floating without being woven with the warp thread, allowing the yarn to fully swell and act as a filling. Made only with natural fibers, it is designed to be as warm and comfortable as synthetic filling fabrics. The sashiko parts visible from the front are woven, but the thread used here is spun pongee thread to create a unique look.
The design is functional while adopting a flat pattern. The front body is tightly overlapped to prevent wind from entering, and the gently raised collar is roomy so that you can wear a scarf or something similar as you like. The sleeves are functional, ensuring ample freedom of movement. There is a patch pocket on the front.
