Kimono Dress Gown & String Belt
Upcycled from a Genuine Vintage Japanese Kimono

This dress gown is carefully upcycled from a genuine vintage Japanese silk kimono, originally worn as a women’s black crested kimono — a formal garment with a strong cultural role in Japan.

Historically, women’s black crested kimonos were worn for highly formal occasions, most often funerals, in postwar Japan.
In some regions, the same kimono was also worn with hakama for graduation ceremonies, reflecting its significance as a ceremonial garment marking important life transitions.

The fabric is Habutae (羽二重), a silk known for its smooth texture.
I carefully handpicked this kimono piece, which is in very good condition for a vintage garment.

This piece is not intended to casualize mourning attire,
but to respectfully reinterpret a formal garment that has already fulfilled its original ceremonial role.
By transforming the silhouette while preserving the dignity of the fabric,
I propose a way of wearing a vintage kimono as a coat-like garment for modern life.

I do not aim to make light of mourning wear.
Rather, I seek to give new life to formal garments that are no longer worn,
allowing their beauty and presence to exist in the present.

The kimono was thoughtfully upcycled by myself and a specialized sewing team in Japan.
The sewing was executed by a First Grade Japanese Kimono Dressmaker (一級和裁士) based in Yamagata, Japan — a master-level artisan certified in traditional kimono tailoring.
This is a one-of-a-kind piece created.

“KAMON 家紋 ”About the mark on this HAORI
This mark is called KAMON and is the emblem representing the family.
In the old days, only a few people of high status were allowed to have KAMON, but in the Meiji era (1868-1912), ordinary people were allowed to have KAMON.
This haori family crest is called 「上り藤(あがりふじ) agari-fuji」

*Please understand that there may be stains and slight damage common in vintage fabrics as all of our clothes are made by either partial or full disassembly of the original kimono.

Overall it's a pretty nice wallet, and its different, unique.
Color: Carhartt Brown
This is a nice wallet. I am deducting one star for the reason another buyer noted. The card pockets are extremely tight. A solution that I came up with was to take a plastic putty knife and push down inside the card pockets and stretch the material out, this helped a bunch! One thing I really like, the material is not as slick as a leather wallet, so if a person has trouble with their wallet sliding out of their pocket, I think this one would be less likely to do that. Overall I'm pretty happy with it.

This is the wallet you actually want.
Bought in late 2018, letting this wallet retire now in early 2026. Strong, durable wallet. For the money, definitely worth it.

Very Durable
This is the second wallet I've bought. Same type. First one was for a durability test. Pull, stretch, bend, twist at the seam, and it held up much better than similar wallets in the same price range. Highly recommend this wallet if you are hard on them like I am. Plenty of space for cards, cash, receipts, random papers and other items that seem to find their way into it throughout the year. And still doesn't feel big and bulky to sit on. I was a die hard trifold guy for many years because I couldn't find a bifold that could hold all my stuff in it. But this bifold holds everything and still has plenty of room for more. If you want a good quality wallet for a decent price the mossy oak Carhartt bifold is definitely the way to go, you won't be disappointed.

A very handsome watch, easy to read.
Size: 25mm, Color: Two-Tone/Two-Tone/White/25mm
I have worn Timex watches most of my life, aside from an occasional costly dress watch. This one is the prettiest yet! Pros: the gold and silver mix of the band is the prettiest one I have seen. With the flexible stretch band. It is easy and comfortable to wear. So far, it is totally accurate on time, functional for easy vision with the large face. The light is easily activated with a slight pressure on the watch stem. Cons: It fits me better than most watches but my wrists are fairly narrow. If you suspect it might be too tight for you, I would suggest looking at the specs for this watch and measuring your comfort needs. It does not flop around on my wrist like other watches I have owned. The only problem that forces me to buy a new Timex every 2 years is that if one uses the backlight button once a night, it normally stops lighting. After that, the actual watch battery is usually soon to go. Summary: A very pretty watch with an easy to read face, helpful light activated by stem. Great value, always worth the reasonable price.
