Made with high-quality wool
Long vest that keeps your back warm

A classic piece adapted from the "sleeveless" style

We adapted an old sleeveless vest-style garment to make this. The fact that the right and left shoulders are constructed differently to avoid wasting fabric is a testament to the wisdom of our ancestors. This time, we lengthened the sleeveless length to create a vest-dress.

As a coordinating accent piece

We keep making this design as a staple, and it's a popular choice that adds a stylish accent to any outfit, suitable for all ages.

Warm from the back

It's very handy to wear over shirts or dresses during cold seasons. The length pairs well with pants too.

Soft like cashmere, no scratchiness

It's a gentle fabric, so even those who usually don't like wool can wear it. This is a piece we especially recommend to those who thought they didn't like wool before.

Natural-colored sheep

This brown is the natural color of wool. The fabric was developed using wool from "Black Merino" sheep, which are rare and few in number worldwide. As it's a natural color, it has a soft, easy-to-match vibe.

Available in 2 colors

This time, this dress is available in two colors: brown and gray. The brown has a rich, warm feel, and the gray is bright. Please choose your favorite color.

【Background Story】

The "sleeveless" garment this is based on was once made by grandmothers themselves. There are two main uses: one is "cold protection" — they would put cotton in the back to keep warm. The other is "formal wear" — wearing a sleeveless over a work happi was considered formal attire. This is a photo of it used as formal wear.

As cold protection wear, it seems it was worn during work. A woman wearing a head covering is wearing a sleeveless that reaches her hips.

While listening to the elderly people of Itoshiro, we aim to create clothing that carries on what has been passed down here, so we can pass it on to the next era in a better way.

The "sleeveless" is exactly one of those. We'd be happy if as many people as possible could incorporate this wonderful, waste-free garment made with straight-cutting into their lives.
