{"product_id":"mens-indigo-striped-cotton-kimono-robe-taisho-early-showa","title":"Taisho–Early Showa Men’s Indigo Striped Cotton Kimono Robe | Solid Indigo Lining | Japanese Vintage","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere was a time when indigo was woven into the fabric of everyday life in Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImagine stepping into a kimono on a cold morning, crossing the earthen floor of a home and opening the door to the day. By evening, its long hem would sway on the walk home before the garment was carefully folded away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the Taisho to early Showa period, clothing was worn for years, mended when needed and sometimes remade at home. This men’s \u003cem\u003enagagi\u003c\/em\u003e, a long kimono robe, carries the character of that era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts cotton outer fabric is woven with fine stripes in deep indigo. From a distance, it appears almost solid; up close, the stripes and texture emerge as the light shifts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most striking part lies inside: a rich, clear expanse of solid indigo cotton. Even the lining, rarely seen by others, was made in this beautiful blue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts appeal is not in ornament, but in the colour and construction of the cloth. Today, it can be worn open over a white T-shirt and wide-leg trousers like a long coat. The generous sleeves and length give it a quiet presence in a modern wardrobe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA one-of-a-kind vintage garment shaped by time and use, rather than mass production. Older Japanese kimono continue to draw interest in the international vintage market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaterial: Cotton\u003cbr\u003eEra: Approximately Taisho to early Showa period\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Men’s nagagi (long kimono robe)\u003cbr\u003eOuter fabric: Fine stripes in deep indigo\u003cbr\u003eLining: Solid indigo cotton\u003cbr\u003eThe first image shows the lining side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLength (back of collar to hem): 125 cm \/ 49.21 in\u003cbr\u003eWidth across chest (laid flat, underarm to underarm): 61 cm \/ 24.02 in\u003cbr\u003eShoulder width: 63 cm \/ 24.80 in\u003cbr\u003eSleeve length (shoulder to cuff): 33 cm \/ 12.99 in\u003cbr\u003eSleeve width: 48.5 cm \/ 19.09 in\u003cbr\u003eSleeve opening width: 25 cm \/ 9.84 in\u003cbr\u003ePlease allow for slight measurement differences.
