The shell for this jacket comes from a Japanese man's nagajuban, or under-kimono, that I took apart. The antique silk is woven from very fine polished yarns, and it shows its age in many spots. This scatter pattern is unusual for a nagajuban, which usually has a strong geometric plaid or stripe, and was likely commissioned by a literary gentleman. The lining comes from a heavier, woven raw silk kimono that I also deconstructed.

The size is equivalent to an extra long L or XL. The back measures 25" from the neckline to the bottom hem and 27" from armpit to armpit. The sleeves measure 35" from the neckline to the cuff edges. The quilted batting is 100% new wool sourced in the US.
