"Ink Grid" Man's Summer Kimono

This listing is for a man's casual summer kimono. Learn more about this type of kimono below. A finely woven grid gives this deep indigo man’s summer kimono a crisp, understated look that becomes more intricate the closer you look. Tiny intersecting lines form an allover micro-check across the lightweight, airy fabric, creating subtle texture without disrupting its minimalism. It is unlined and has a slightly crisp hand similar to linen or ramie rather than smooth silk, both fibers traditionally appreciated for their cool, breathable qualities in warm weather. A five-inch horizontal tuck at the waist provides additional fabric that could be let out if a longer finished length is desired. Men’s casual summer kimono are designed with comfort and breathability in mind, often made without a full lining to keep the garment lightweight and airy in warmer weather. Fabrics tend to have a lighter, more open feel and are frequently woven with subtle small-scale repeating patterns, geometric designs, stripes, or textured motifs rather than elaborate pictorial decoration. Their understated colors and simple patterns give these kimono a relaxed, versatile character while still showcasing the beauty of traditional Japanese weaving. This kimono does not come with an obi/belt/sash, but we do make simple cotton sashes that can be added as an option when you order. We will choose a color that goes well with it. If you'd like to display the kimono, we offer hanging rods in five colors (brown, black, natural, white, and red) - see the Add a Display Rod? tab below.
