KUON Arimatsu Shibori Harrington Jacket White
Kuon
Challenging the existing notion on vintage clothing, KUON revitalizes traditional Japanese boro and re-purposes these rich materials and fabrics for the modern day.
Arimatsu Shibori is a traditional Japanese tie-dying technique, normally produced in the Nagoya region in Japan. These Harrington style jackets from KUON use this method and more specifically the Itajime method when dyeing onto coloured fabric. Dating back to the Edo period, these methods are rooted in Japanese culture - there is even a Arimatsu Shibori Museum in Nagoya.
The Itajime dyeing method is used for cotton fabric whereby folded fabric is clamped between two wooden boards before being dyed. The clamped part is compressed, making it difficult for the dye to penetrate, giving the individual characteristics in the patterns.
Based on a classic Harrington style, the jacket features a zip front with button tab closure and throat tab, as well as button cuff adjusters. Button side adjusters have been paired with zip side adjuster to aid fit. A relaxed fit completes the look.

*After the UK’s recent departure from the European Union, there has been an unavoidable upheaval in all trade.
To help ease the confusion, we use a shipping partner to assist us with all international shipments, which allows us to show you, upfront, all costs before delivery including duties and customs know as DDP (Delivery Duty Paid).
All prices are inclusive of processing and delivery fees (excluding courier fees where applicable) meaning the price shown is the price you will pay delivered to you, with no hidden customs or clearance fees!
All orders placed from within the EU have the local rate of VAT added and paid within destination country; so no excess VAT will be charged upon arrival and we do not collect UK VAT. This also means that you are able to pay in local currency (or the currency of your choice) to a local bank account, as well as offering payment plans wherever applicable.
