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.)

A warm, glowing palette draws you in first, then the pattern reveals itself. This richly textured silk jacket is woven with an aerial view of rooftops and winding streets, like a city seen from above at dusk. Tones of orange, rust, brown, and hints of green interlock in a dense pattern that feels architectural, with repeating geometric forms suggesting tiled roofs, clustered buildings, and shifting pathways. Cityscape motifs often reflect harmony within complexity, a balance of structure and flow.

The silk is soft and smooth to the touch, with a subtle raised weave that creates a gently textured, nubby surface. The extra weaving gives this garment a slightly heavier weight.

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.
