Product Details

  • Era: Mid-Showa period

  • Material: Cotton

This rare private firefighter happi coat was once worn by a local volunteer firefighter team in mid-Showa Japan. The cotton fabric has naturally faded to a charcoal gray over years of use, showing a vintage character that reflects the passage of time rather than mere wear.

On the back, a single kanji character “消” remains, symbolizing the strength of the coat and the unique cultural heritage of Japanese firefighting attire.

Simply layering it over a T-shirt or work pants adds a touch of Showa-era retro atmosphere and distinctive presenceto your everyday style.
This is not just ordinary vintage clothing—it is a piece for those who want to challenge conventional fashion rules and explore a unique personal style.

Leveraging the design and texture of Japanese firefighter happi coats, which are gaining attention overseas as part of Japanese vintage workwear, you can create a look that is truly your own.

Additionally, this coat offers potential as material for remaking or handmade projects, allowing you to breathe new life into existing garments or styles.
It’s not just fashion—it’s an experience of reinterpreting history and narrative through your own sensibility.

As a one-of-a-kind vintage piece, it can be enjoyed as a collector’s item, a daily styling piece, or as material for remakes.
