Item J30
This woven silk tsumugi fabric is quite exceptional. I cannot recall another kimono fabric woven with so many colors, such subtle shading, and such detailed motifs. The vintage kimono that I disassembled to make this jacket came with a section of the fabric selvedge that included provenance labels.
I made the lining from a stenciled komon silk crepe fabric repurposed from another vintage kimono. It is quilted with natural, untreated wool batting and an inner layer of silk habotai. Neckline to hem in the back is 22" armpit to armpit is 26" and neckline to sleeve hem is 31."
