a distinctive and light linen

It was created based on an overgarment passed down in Itoshiro. About the "Sakkuri" straight-cut method

The beauty of straight-line cutting

We've fully utilized the "straight-line cutting" technique passed down by our predecessors. This allows for a collar design with no wasted fabric.

Large sleeves and a generous width

The "sleeve" design often used in Ainu clothing also has a similar shape in Itoshiro, called "Mojiri Sleeve" or "Maki Sleeve."

High-quality linen fabric woven in Omi

We hear that only 3% of the fabric used in the current Japanese apparel market is domestically produced. To protect and pass on domestic weaving, we actively insist on using domestically produced materials.

Buttoned up or worn open.

It can be worn for both formal and casual occasions.

One size, unisex

It can be worn by both men and women. The man in the photo is 183cm tall.

Both men and women can wear the same size.

Indigo hand-dyed one by one in Itoshiro

During the summer, dyeing is done in the indigo shed next to the store. The fabric is dyed here, and then the jackets are tailored.

The indigo achieved a profound depth that allows you to experience the beauty of hand-dyeing.

Available in 3 colors

Available in three types: natural linen, indigo dye, and chestnut dye.

Production Story

We made this by using an old garment given to us by Risako, born in 1927, as a reference.

The distinctive feature is the sleeve, called "Mojiri Sleeve," which is made by folding and sewing a rectangle.

I still remember the shock I felt the first time I actually saw this sleeve. I realized that a single piece of fabric could create a triangular sleeve, and that this sleeve had the same structure as Ainu clothing.

Since Itoshiro has been a settlement since the Jomon period, there might be some connection. This design was created while pondering the romance of its long history.
