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 woven in alternating black and gray stripes, a simple yet refined design that gives both depth and character. The narrow bands create a sense of movement across the fabric, offering a quiet elegance that can be appreciated up close or from a distance. The style showcases classic Japanese aesthetics of balance and restraint. This kimono is meant for summer as the fabric is lightweight with a partial lining at the shoulders.

Sizing for men's vintage kimono is very limited since they were originally made for Japanese men, who typically had slender builds and an average height of 5'7".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.
