I buy vintage linens at local estate auctions to pass them along to you, and I always look for vintage and antique clothing and accessories.This is a vintage/antique men's kimono made of silk in a cherry red color with a small woven pattern of white, black, and dark blue; it is lined with white cotton and edged at sleeves and bottom with bright green! It is constructed in traditional kimono fashion, and is long. The pattern is beautifully matched at the seams and the sleeves have curved bases, with lines of basting stitches still running along the bottom of each sleeve.
measurements, all taken with garment lying flat:
total length 55"
body width 22"
sleeve length 17.5"
sleeve width 12.5"
collar band width 3"
The fabric for this has a lustrous silky feel and a lovely small woven pattern in white, black, and dark blue. The green color of the sleeve and bottom lining is very striking. This appears to be a high-quality kimono, and it is in very good condition with no holes, rips, tears, or funky odors. It weighs about 1 and a half pounds. I am also listing other men's kimono, so please check the other listings - I am happy to combine to save on shipping.
This is in good antique condition. I have laundered and pressed it and found the fabric to be in sound shape, soft and strong and not brittle. There are a couple of issues, a few stains that did not complete disappear, as shown in the last several photos. I have include the armscye measurement - it measures the depth of the armhole, and it's rather narrow on this. The ruffle and eyelet trim are particularly nice on this. It displays well for a museum, but is strong enough to be worn.
I am storing this in my smoke-free home, but I do have a cat who sheds copiously, so be aware if you have allergies. Please contact me for more information or photos. I am happy to combine items to save on shipping, so check my other listings too. Thanks for looking!
