Digital Version: How to Make Tatsuke [Itoshiro Folk Clothing Series]

We have created a booklet explaining the process of making the Tatsuke, the garment our shop produces in-house.

Please note that all products sold on this site are offered as digital data downloads, not physical printed booklets.If you would like to purchase a printed paper booklet, please visit this website.

We’ve put together an easy-to-understand guide to making Tatsuke, flexible, mobile farm work pants that can be constructed using only straight cuts.

We created this resource because we want as many people as possible to try making Tatsuke, a traditional style passed down in the Ittetsushiro village nestled deep in the mountains of Gifu Prefecture.

The content is:
・About Itoshiro
・Introduction of Instructor Tatsuke
・How to take measurements
・Cutting Method
・Sewing method
・How to take measurements for children's tatsuke
is.

The 'How to Make Tatsuke' guide, which we have offered for sale since around 2013, has been updated to be far easier to understand. This revised version is based on the 'Noragi Tatsuke' item currently sold at Itoshiro Yohinten.

Please be sure to pick it up and check it out for yourself.

Additionally, based on this bookletVideo: How to Make Tatsuke Using Flat-Felled Seamsis also available for sale.

■Creation Story

Many customers are surprised that as Ittetsushiro Apparel, we are sharing the full, detailed instructions for making the clothing that is the core of our production and sales. We made the decision to publish these methods because we want to share the exceptional qualities of Tatsuke with as wide an audience as possible.

Originally, we were generously taught this craft in full by a local elderly grandmother. We want to pass this knowledge on to as many people as possible, and share that sense of wonder and joy you feel when you create something, as well as the unique pleasure of wearing clothing you made yourself.

Based on this bookletWorkshopWe also host this on an irregular basis, so I hope we can share the joy of working with our hands together.
