This is a vintage Japanese casual kimono for a man. We know its casual because it does not have any family crests. These make great robes for leisurewear at home but can also make a statement if worn out to a party or special event.

The shade of blue is different from what we typically see - there's more of a softer, grayish cast to it. (And it may look like the left collar is discolored but that is just the light reflection.)

The pattern is a tiny woven honeycomb design in lighter gray - very typical of patterning for a casual man's kimono. Very nice cotton indigo blue lining.

Sizing for men's vintage kimono is very limited since they were originally made for Japanese men, who typically had slender builds and an average height of 5'7". Taller, slender-to-medium build men will be able to wear these kimono but will find the sleeves ending between elbow and wrist and the hem ending somewhere on the shin.

NOTE: Our kimono do not come with an obi/belt/sash and we rarely are able to carry men's obi. But we do make simple cotton sashes that can be added as an option when you order. We'll choose a color that goes well with it.
