Green Vintage Tsumugi Cropped Kimono Jacket
This cardigan style jacket is made from vintage Tsumugi Kimono silk. The type of monochromatic weave is called Bokashi, or blurred, with various colors that are woven in to create this beautiful and subtle effect.
Tsumugi 紬 yarns are made from irregular-shaped cocoons called Kuzumayu, which were once considered not fit for spinning even, fine silk threads. Compared to the shine of ordinary silk fabric, Tsumugi has a matte surface. Containing naturally formed slubs, Tsumugi yarns are durable, yet lightweight. Historically, Tsumugi was worn by farmers, samurai and merchants as casual wear. Although Tsumugi was once thought of as a sub-par textile, it is now highly sought after by Japanese Kimono connoisseurs.
Features two patch pockets and an extra wide collar that can be folded open for extra coverage.
