"Herringbone Jacquard" XL Oki Haori Jacket

This listing is for a vintage Japanese haori (kimono jacket) that we modified slightly to allow for a roomier fit on larger frames.  This vintage haori glows in a soft terra cotta pink, brought to life by an allover herringbone jacquard pattern that shifts beautifully with the light. The woven tone-on-tone design adds depth and slight texture, giving the fabric a refined, architectural feel while still staying warm and earthy. The silk drapes smoothly and feels balanced and versatile. In our Oki Haori Line (oki means "big" in Japanese) of modified haori jackets, we open up the gusset and underarm seams and then re-attached them using every inch of the salvage seam edges. This yields up to additional inches in the waist, hip, and bust measurements. Whereas unmodified haori tend to be narrower at the bust because the side gussets gradually narrow from waist to bust, our Oki Haori do not taper at the bust, which gives you more coverage in front. Compare your measurements to those given, keeping in mind that the measurements we give are the haori measurements, not a recommendation for the wearer's measurements.
