This is a medium-length jacket designed to be worn over the kimono. Back in the 1800's, only those that were in the higher social class, while in Sengoku period, men would wear sleeveless variations of the Haori over their armor. Women would flirt by wearing a Haori as a statement style piece. This kimono jacket is hand dyed using the painstaking shibori technique. This involves hand tying up parts of the fabric before it is immersed to create intricate patterns between the dyed section and raw fabric. This was considered the "bad boy's" of Japan attire. 5.

The patterns can be chosen to match the material of the kimono, or to provide a sharp contrast. For some outfits, the Kimono becomes a mere canvas for the artistry of the Obi. For women, the Obi's primary function is to decorative, while the actual piece of fabric keeping the garment together is hidden underneath. Men's obi are narrower than women's, and play a more practical role in keeping the Kimono tight. https://shop.japanobjects.com/blogs/editorial/japaneseclothing?srsltid=AfmBOoq2XyIHUG4QF6Uwi4tbo-4IkkSOnGXrk5HTfLri4RmQhIo83pdI This website will help you find the look you are going for with a detailed description, and small origin story to gain knowledge and understand what you are putting on.
