This listing is for a Japanique Jacket – slightly modified from a vintage kimono jacket (michiyuki) to create a roomier, casual fashion piece that suits sizes 10-16 very well. (See modification details below.)

This vintage jacket lights up any style with its vibrant orange hue, woven with a hexagon or tortoise shell grid pattern that blends tradition with a modern graphic feel. Each shape holds a four-petal diamond floral crest woven in a raised tone-on-tone jacquard, creating a slightly textured surface that shifts beautifully in the light. Accents in warm browns and soft whites add slight contrast while keeping the overall design rich and cohesive. 

Hidden pocket in the front - perfect to hold glasses keys, or other light items.

Each Japanique Jacket starts out as a vintage michiyuki, which is a narrow jacket with a deep, square neckline and snap closures, meant to be worn on top of a kimono. Most vintage michiyuki won't fit larger frames, so we modified the traditional garment slightly by removing the snaps and tacking the panels back to create lapels. The result is an open, flowing jacket that can fit sizes 10-16. Japanique Jackets can also be crossed over and belted on a smaller-sized person. These are all one-of-a-kind jackets, so sizing will vary slightly, see measurements given.
