Product Details

Era: Mid-Showa period
Material: Wool

This wool mantle-style outerwear was made during the mid-Showa period in Japan.

Created during a transitional era when daily wear shifted from traditional Japanese clothing to Western styles, this piece quietly reflects the lifestyle and aesthetic sensibilities of its time.

The cape-like silhouette drapes naturally from the shoulders, moving softly with the body. Free from excessive decoration, its presence is defined by form and balance rather than ornamentation.

It offers both practical warmth and refined visual beauty, a balance characteristic of outerwear from this period.

Easy to incorporate into modern wardrobes, it can be layered with noragi, kimono, shirts, or denim, allowing for a retro-modern styling approach that bridges different eras and clothing cultures.

The texture of aged wool carries a depth and character unattainable in mass-produced garments, offering a tangible sense of history the moment it is handled.

Mantles and outerwear from the same era are increasingly scarce, with well-preserved examples becoming harder to find each year.

Beyond its function as clothing, this piece also holds value as an archival garment that conveys the evolution of modern Japanese fashion.

Recommended for those who wish to add a quiet individuality to their daily attire, or for those seeking depth and character beyond contemporary clothing.
