■Product Details■

  • Era: Circa 1950s

  • Material: Cotton

This is an authentic 1950s Japanese firefighter happi coat.

The collar appears to have been replaced, featuring indigo-dyed fabric with some characters in old kanji. The back displays a large emblem, the waist has two white stripes, and red stripes run from the shoulders to the sleeves, creating the iconic bold design of a firefighter’s happi coat.

The coat shows heavy wear, including fading, damage, and multiple repair marks. However, these signs of age are what give this piece its unique charm. The texture of the well-worn cotton fabric reveals a beauty that transcends time.

As a vintage garment, it has a high level of authenticity and can be enjoyed as a one-of-a-kind piece.

For styling, we paired it with a cap, white T-shirt, Dickies 874 pants, and Clarks Desert Boots. Its workwear and streetwear compatibility make it perfect for incorporating traditional Japanese design into modern fashion.

These firefighter happi coats and hanten jackets are increasingly appreciated overseas, particularly among fans of slow fashion, ethical lifestyles, and collectors.

This piece is not only a fashion item but also recommended as material for remaking or handmade projects.

Experience the charm of a firefighter happi coat that continues to captivate even after decades of use.

Please note: The coat will be compressed for shipping, which may cause wrinkles. Thank you for your understanding.
