This haori is a fabric called “Oshima Tsumugi” It is a very valuable piece.

The lining has a picture of Daruma. Daruma are traditional Japanese dolls that have been worshiped as a symbol of good fortune, success, and perseverance for centuries in Japan.

This haori was worn by Japanese men as a fashionable jacket.

Kimonos can be broadly divided into two fabrics types. 
They are "yarn-dyed kimonos" = "ORI"  and  "post-dyed kimonos" = "SOME".

Yarn-dyed fabrics”ORI” are fabrics that are dyed and woven while the threads are still in the yarn. 
Typical examples are "tsumugi", “omeshi”, and "cotton kasuri".
Tsumugi is especially popular among modern Japanese people, and many fabrics have simple designs.
Post-dyed kimonos”SOME” refers to kimono woven with white threads without dyeing, to which "komon dyeing," "Bingata dyeing," "Yuzen dyeing," and other processes are applied.
I feel that the kimono that people overseas imagine is like a “SOME” kimono.

You can make to order for the same price. Find Kimono with pattern you like, and make in your size. Please let me know, if you are interested.

ON THE TOPIC OF MATERIAL COMPOSITION

Antique and vintage Kimono and Haori do not have material composition labels. Material composition labels were a development that came with mass market clothing and as such when kimono are newly tailored, the final product is made to the original client's specification. Today however, ready-made products including kimono and yukata are also sold at major retail stores.

When you tailor your kimono in traditional way, you select a kimono fabric and tailor to your size.
Composition of the fabric is ONLY indicated on the fabric. Composition of fabric information was not traditionally provided in tailored kimono and even today kimono tailors do not generally include it in the garment.

In addition, most kimonos are tailored by hand. Kimonos are tailored by a special sewing professional called a "wasai-shi" (Japanese tailor or seamstress).

I am active as a licensed antique art dealer. And I am a kimono geek. Compositional judgments of vintage kimonos are not 100% accurate unless they are submitted to an inspection agency that can perform tests on the fabrics to determine their composition. I myself have a career as an upcycling artist. I have experimented with washing kimonos at home, and with burning fabrics and threads to determine their combustion reactions. If I am confident that the item is made of silk based on the assumed age of production and judgment of the fabric quality, I label it as 100% silk.

However, there are some very rare cases in which silk is used for the warp and synthetic fiber for the weft. This is not only the case with modern products, but also occasionally with older products in which synthetic fibers were first made available. There are also some modern products that are made of synthetic fibers that do not differ from very elaborate silk. For those that I have concerns about, I burn the threads and other materials to make a judgment, but without sophisticated test equipment, it is difficult to make an 100% accurate assessment judgment. For those that I am unsure about, I use the notation "silk & more". I take care in making these judgments based largely on my own experience, but cannot guarantee the accuracy beyond all doubt.
If you have a deep desire to determine the material composition I would recommend seeking out the services of a fabric testing lab near you.

Thank you for your understanding.

Autumn tones Haori & Kimono pants, compliments the season perfectly

In love with my Haori and Kimono pants, they surprisingly functional and draw a lot of positive attention. Even in the cold I stay warm with just a simple sweater underneath. The fabric is very luxurious and feels great on the skin. There’s a lot of shops selling Kimono fabrics and none of them come close to this. Honestly the prices are beyond reasonable for what you are getting. It’s a big purchase but it will be one of your best outfits and it will bring you joy and pleasant memories not to mention great photos 😊. Thank you Machiko-Kun you have incredible taste and are a cut above the rest. I know it’s hard work sourcing these vintage fabrics and adapting it to a modern style that still appeals to even traditionalists. So happy I found you and your art, it has made my life more beautiful and wonderful 💕💕💕
