This is a vintage Japanese casual kimono for a man. We know it's casual because it does not have any komon (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.

This vintage man's kimono is padded and features a bold black and red checkered weave, giving the garment a rich depth of color and a warm, structured presence. The interior is lined in indigo and padded for comfort and insulation, making it a practical piece for colder months. 

Unfortunately, there are some fading areas on the back and shoulders, see last photo, but it is minimal and hard to see from a distance.  

Sizing for men's vintage kimono is very limited since they were originally made for Japanese men, who typically had slender builds and an average height of 5'7".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. See the video below for details on how to put on a man's casual kimono.

This kimono does not come with an obi/belt/sash, but we do make simple cotton sashes that can be added as an option when you order. We will choose a color that goes well with it.

If you'd like to display the kimono, we offer hanging rods in multiple colors - see the Add a Display Rod? tab below.
