How to make Tattsuke [Itoshiro Folk Clothing Series]

*The 4th edition of the "Tatsuke" making guide was released on November 23, 2024.

We have created a booklet explaining how to make the "Tatsuke" trousers that we produce in our shop.

This booklet clearly explains how to make "Tatsuke," comfortable work trousers for farming that are made solely by cutting straight lines.

We created this with the hope that many people would make the "Tatsuke" trousers passed down in Itoshiro village, deep in the mountains of Gifu Prefecture.

The contents include:
・About Itoshiro
・Introduction to the Tatsuke instructor
・How to take measurements
・How to cut
・How to sew
・How to determine child Tatsuke sizes

Additionally, a detailed video explanation based on this booklet is available for free on YouTube. URL: https://youtu.be/svA5IWPskGA

This guide is a more understandable version of the "Tatsuke Making Guide" (1,080 yen) that we have been selling since around 2013, and is based on the "Noragi Tatsuke" currently sold at Itoshiro Yōhinten.

Please do pick up a copy.

◾️About hashtags when making clothes from the guide

We received a request from a customer saying, "I'd like you to create a hashtag so I can see what others are making."When uploading photos of your creations to social media, please tag them with

#itoshirotatsuke

For clothes other than Karusan, please also include

#itoshirokarusan
#itoshirohakama
#itoshiroechizenshirt
#itoshirosleeveless

This way, when you search by hashtag, you can see what others have made themselves.

■The Story Behind Our Creation

Many people are surprised that Itoshiro Yōhinten openly shares detailed instructions for making the clothes we primarily produce and sell. We decided to share the instructions because we want more people to know the wonderfulness of "Tatsuke."

Originally, we ourselves were generously taught by the grandmothers in the region. We want to pass this on to many people and share the surprise and joy of creating, or the pleasure of wearing clothes you made yourself.

We also irregularly hold workshops based on this booklet, so we hope to share the joy of working with our hands together.
