The Denim Haori from Japan Blue is a contemporary reinterpretation of the traditional Japanese Haori. Originally, this very loose garment was intended for warriors during the Sengoku period (around the 16th century), who wore it over their battle armor to protect against the cold. Later, the Haori became popular among women through geishas who wore it as a fashion item over their kimonos. This version retains the classic haori shape with a straight, loose fit and no front closure.

It is made from a non-selvedge 13oz denim woven from organic cotton, soft and durable. The warp thread (outer) has been dyed in deep indigo, contrasting with the weft thread (inner) left white and undyed. The finished piece was then washed to achieve a "bleach" look reminiscent of vintage denim jackets. Thanks to the dyeing technique used, known as "rope dye", it will continue to evolve over time, allowing for a patina with varied shades. The tobacco-tone stitching recalls the original color of jean seams, initially chosen to make the rivets more discreet.

This jacket is designed to be worn as a lightweight layer, suitable for everyday use. It combines traditional Japanese elements with contemporary manufacturing, with a special focus on detail and fabric quality.
