Reimagining Tradition: A Vintage Kendo Jacket with Bold Indigo and Embroidery

Indigo dyed Japanese kendo jacket with bold embroidery on sleeves

The intersection of tradition and modern fashion comes alive in this vintage kendo jacket by Bushuichi.
Crafted from thick indigo-dyed cotton with textured sashiko stitching, it embodies the quiet strength of Japanese workwear.

What sets this piece apart is the striking embroidery on the sleeves—a rare detail that turns martial utility into wearable art.
Whether worn as a casual jacket or reimagined into a new creation, this one-of-a-kind garment speaks to collectors, designers, and anyone drawn to the beauty of Japanese vintage.

More than clothing, it’s a canvas of heritage.
