This jacket is based on a vintage Miao Chinese jacket and has an updated body balance and is ink-dyed.

The material is inspired by the Dongoros burlap sack, and is a luxurious thick-gauge woven linen fabric that is attractive for its texture and rough look and feel.
The ink used for sumi-zome is made by kneading soot obtained by incomplete combustion of oily woods such as pine and fats and oils such as rapeseed oil with glue (a gelatinous substance found in animal bones and skins).
It is unclear when ink began to be used as a dye, but it is said that it began to be used to dye fabric after the Muromachi period.
The finish is controlled by the concentration of the ink, and the shading of the color is expressed to create a tasteful and atmospheric finish.

Despite its sturdy fabric, it is also breathable and cool to the touch, making it an item that can be worn on its own or layered or as an inner layer for added style.

*Each item is hand-dyed by a craftsman, so there may be slight individual differences in dyeing and size specifications. Thank you for your understanding.
*Due to the nature of the dye, the color will fade, so please do not wash it with other items. Also, the color may fade due to friction (especially when wet with sweat or rain). Please be careful when wearing and washing.

[Staff review]

staff:Katagiri
Height: 165cm / Usual size: M / Wearing size: S
Sizing: The size is based on men's size, and as a unisex item, I think S would be fine for women. You can also try it on at a store by applying for a try-on or ordering online.
Material Texture: Linen material with a rough texture. This is a slightly pale ink dye with an uneven feel. We also recommend pairing it with materials that have a brushed feel, such as knit.
Point: This is a twist on the familiar item of a Chinese jacket, which has been given an arrangement of ink dyeing. Why not try incorporating it into a slightly different coordination?
