Product Details

• Era: Mid-Showa period (circa 1950s–1960s)

• Material: Cotton

This cotton noragi jacket was crafted around the mid-Showa period. The exterior features a classic striped pattern, while the interior lining is a deep maroon solid color. The collar is made from indigo-dyed fabric, which adds structure and a calm, refined impression. Although not reversible, wearing it inside-out can create a playful and unique styling effect. Both sides of the jacket display a distinct and striking presence, making it truly one-of-a-kind.

Noragi jackets were originally everyday workwear made at home for farming and household tasks. Their practical simplicity and functional beauty resonate with contemporary fashion, especially in contexts that value slow living and upcycling.

For lovers of vintage textiles, handmade, or remade clothing, this jacket offers appealing material quality while allowing effortless styling. Layer it over a T-shirt and jeans for a fresh, unique everyday look. The rich texture of the cotton and the deep tones born from Japanese daily life add a timeless touch to any modern wardrobe.

In recent years, these noragi jackets and Japanese vintage pieces have gained remarkable attention and demand overseas. Local Japanese everyday wear has been recognized in European and American fashion scenes as “unique workwear.” The distinctive design, tactile cotton, and rustic striped pattern resonate strongly with those seeking sustainable and authentic fashion. A piece that once lay quietly in Japan now shines as a modern and innovative fashion item on the global stage—an extraordinary noragi jacket to experience firsthand.
