"Winter Berries" 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 vibrant vintage haori is covered in an intricate field of kanoko shibori, the iconic fawn-spot resist pattern that gives the surface a soft, dotted pucker texture. The deep berry red silk is punctuated with hundreds of tiny dots that create a beautifully irregular rhythm, almost like jumbled rice kernels or graphic pixels. From afar it forms a rich, dimensional landscape that feels warm, nostalgic, and unmistakably Japanese.  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.
