This summer haori feature an arching grass or hillside design, with some of the elements woven in a silvery gray and others done with an open weave to let the light through.  Layering is so important for kimono-wearing - even in the hot and humid days of summer in Japan. Vintage summer haori typically have an open weave that allows cooling air to flow between the layers, and often have a design woven on the back. These light weight haori jackets are great to throw on when you want something over your shoulders as you move from the summer heat into an air conditioned restaurant, theater, or office. They're also modest cover ups at the beach or poolside. Even though they tend to be dark colors, the open weave is really cooling. We like them over a little black dress for a night on the town.

Summertime, Summer Haori

These lovely little jackets are great for summertime - at the pool, to the movies, out to dinner on the deck.... We offer this video slide show with close ups of the weaving - it’s an open gauze weave that lets the air through to cool the wearer during the hot and humid Kyoto summer nights.  Yes, we sell them when we can get them.
