Lightweight Sashiko-woven Haori (plant-dyed)

This is a double-layered original fabric with a unique structure._ The warp threads are made of organic cotton, while the weft threads on the surface and reverse are made of ramie and hemp respectively._ Thick silk threads are used to create a sashiko-like pattern through a special bonding process. The surface, where the organic cotton and ramie sheen blend, gives a light and airy impression. The reverse, which touches the skin, offers the cool feel of hemp and the soft touch of cotton._ Sashiko originally comes from Japanese handwork where old pieces of cloth were layered and sewn together for reinforcement and warmth._ This fabric doesn't imitate the irregularity of that handwork with machinery; instead, it utilizes the regular structure inherent in machine weaving to create a unique pattern that evokes a sense of rhythm within order.

While the silhouette has a relaxed fit around the body, the sleeves are designed to look neat from the armhole to the cuffs. The garment features a distinctive structure with a large, rectangular collar inspired by kimonos, which is attached to the body by sandwiching it between the front and back panels. The collar can be worn folded down or standing up. To highlight the sashiko pattern, the collar and pockets are arranged with a different weave than the body. The waist ties are set long, allowing for arrangements such as wrapping them around twice.

Handling Instructions

*Due to the nature of the fabric, the surface threads may snag. Please be aware that snags are likely to occur due to friction with nails, bags, and accessories when wearing. Because silk threads are used, please use a pressing cloth when ironing and avoid high temperatures. *Please enjoy the unevenness of the plant-dyed color and the changes that come with age. To prevent color transfer, avoid using it with light-colored items, and wash it with a neutral detergent and air dry. Please be careful in handling as it may fade or discolor due to sweat or light, so store it away from sunlight and fluorescent lights. (Walnut) *This item is dyed with natural indigo. The color will gradually lighten with repeated use. Because of the possibility of color transfer, avoid using it with light-colored items initially, and wash with a neutral detergent and dry it in the shade. The color and size may vary slightly from piece to piece. (Light Indigo, Indigo, Indigo x Walnut)
