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 feels like walking through a warm autumn forest, its entire surface covered in layered waves that blend earthy greens, bronzes, and muted golds with hints of soft floral motifs. Each sweeping panel is filled with intricate woven textures that mimic stitched patchwork, giving the garment incredible dimension and a handcrafted presence. Look closely to see the detailed florals in the raised threads that shimmer gently with movement. This is a beautiful textile for someone who appreciates depth, subtle colors, or traditional Japanese weaving.

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.
