This men’s haori was made in the early Showa period. It features a balanced structure with moderate stiffness and lightness, and its semi-long length makes it easy to wear as a jacket in contemporary fashion.

Haori have been a traditional Japanese garment since the late Edo period, through Meiji and Taisho, and in the early Showa period, they were widely worn as everyday outerwear. Originally designed to be worn over kimono for warmth, their ease of wear and aesthetic design has made them increasingly popular in modern fashion, especially when paired with Western-style clothing.

Recently, haori have gained significant attention in international fashion circles as “Japan Vintage” items. In cities such as New York, Paris, and London, vintage Japanese haori are being incorporated into streetwear and modern fashion as jackets. Their unique silhouette and blend of traditional Japanese and Western styles are highly valued by overseas buyers and fashion editors alike.

This haori pairs effortlessly with denim or sneakers, creating playful, contemporary Japanese-Western fusion looks. The semi-long design allows for easy movement, making it suitable as everyday outerwear. It combines the distinctive texture of vintage garments with practical wearability, making it a globally sought-after one-of-a-kind piece.
