Description
This Japanique Tunic Vest converts a vintage Japanese kimono jacket into contemporary fashion! We simply removed the sleeves of a traditional
haori
(kimono jacket) and stitched the edging closed. The deep armholes allow for great ease of movement and the extra fabric at the shoulder creates almost a cap sleeve. It's a simple, versatile vest to throw on over jeans or to add pattern and style to solid colors underneath.
This pattern reminds us of the incredible, artistic masonry of temple and garden walls in Japan that are beautiful to behold. This silk vest is a dark red and the rounded stone elements are a slightly pinkish color. Note that the red spacing creates a grid that seems to overlay the stone pattern beneath it. Masterful in it subtlety. No doubt the pattern was done with a katagami stencil - see video below for how these stencils are made.
Soft, smooth drape to the silk.
Like the haori it started as, the tunic vest is not meant to cross over but should be worn open to reveal a bit of what is worn underneath.
We do offer the traditional woven ties - called haori himo - that can be hooked into the little fabric loops that you'll find at the mid-front of the vest. To add it to your purchase, click "Add A Himo Pair" option above and we'll select one that goes with this tunic vest. (If you'd like to choose your own, we have several more fancy himo.
