■Product Details■

  • Era: Early to mid Showa period

  • Material: Cotton

Noragi jackets are traditional Japanese workwear worn by farmers and craftsmen from the late Edo period through the Showa era. Designed for daily work, they combine practical functionality with a unique Japanese sense of aesthetics.

This piece is a cotton noragi jacket made in the Tohoku region during the early to mid Showa period. It features subdued yet expressive indigo stripes. (The reverse side is not indigo-dyed.)

The straight tubular sleeves provide ease of movement, making it effortless to incorporate into modern casual outfits.

The sturdy cotton fabric appears to have seen very little wear, giving it a firm texture. This also means it will develop a beautiful patina over time.

The simple, functional stitching characteristic of noragi showcases subtle variations from handwork, making each jacket unique.

Styled with a striped Basque shirt and jeans, and draping an indigo cloth around the neck as a scarf (Explore this indigo cloth & shop → [Link to product]) it blends vintage charm with contemporary casual style.

Perfect for layering and everyday wear, it can also serve as material for handmade or upcycling projects (See more vintage noragi jackets → [Link to collection]).

Japanese noragi jackets are highly regarded among fashion enthusiasts and slow-fashion communities abroad, and the demand for upcycling and repurposing is rapidly increasing.

Incorporate this historically rich Japanese vintage workwear into your daily wardrobe or creative projects.
