This listing is for a vintage Japanese haori jacket. Learn more about this type of garment below.

A true conversation piece, this haori leans fully into MCM (mid-century modern aesthetic) with its scribbled lines creating freeform black linework. The base pattern resembles a fine lattice or plaid, overlaid with spontaneous, brush-like strokes that feel gestural and energetic, almost like ink sketches or calligraphic shorthand.  The neutral cream background keeps it versatile, while the scattered red accents add to the retro, slightly quirky, and effortlessly cool vibe -- perfect for someone who appreciates graphic design and wearable art.

A woman's haori is a traditional Japanese jacket worn over a kimono, designed to provide both warmth and an added layer of formality. Today, these jackets transition effortlessly into modern fashion as a lightweight, open-front layer. They can be worn over dresses, denim, or simple basics to add texture, color, and a distinctive, artful touch.

Haori do not cross over or tie with a sash, like a kimono does - they are meant to be worn open to reveal a bit of what is worn beneath. An optional accessory is the haori himo - little woven ties that are hooked to the little fabric loops that you'll find at the mid-front of the haori - but they are sold separately. We'll select one that goes with this haori if you pick the Add A Himo Pair option above. To choose a pair of our fancier himo, CLICK HERE.
