This is a men’s haori (traditional Japanese jacket) crafted in the early Showa period.

The subdued brown check pattern gives it a refined presence, and with its semi-long length, it can be worn as a modern jacket-style outerwear, making it an easy piece to incorporate into today’s fashion.

Historically, the haori evolved from the late Edo period through Meiji, Taisho, and into the early Showa era as an everyday garment in Japan. Originally designed as a coat worn over kimono for warmth, its comfort and unique design have led to a rapid rise in modern fashion reinterpretations and styling versatility.

This brown check haori pairs effortlessly with denim, chinos, or sneakers, creating playful wa-yo secchu (Japanese-Western fusion) outfits. It also blends naturally into mode-inspired vintage styling, highlighting individuality with an edge of cultural depth.

Globally recognized as “Japan Vintage,” vintage haori are gaining attention in fashion hubs such as New York, Paris, and London, where they are styled as jackets in both streetwear and mode fashion contexts.

The unique silhouette and earthy tones of this haori provide a fashion experience distinct from any modern jacket, while its semi-long length ensures easy wearability for everyday use.

A true one-of-a-kind piece, this haori combines the texture and character of vintage fabric with the rising global appeal of Japanese mode fashion.

Note: The garment will be shipped compressed, which may cause wrinkles during transit. Thank you for your understanding.
