Charcoal Cotton Haori: Formal Three Mon Design

This formal cotton haori is a classic example of traditional Japanese masculine attire, defined by its somber palette and structured, architectural presence. The garment is crafted from a durable cotton weave in a deep charcoal-grey, featuring a subtle, all-over diagonal ribbed texture that adds a refined surface interest to the minimalist design.

True to its formal nature, the jacket features three mon (family crests) positioned across the upper back and shoulders, signifying a high level of prestige and social propriety. The monochromatic exterior is sharply contrasted by a vibrant, solid purple silk lining visible at the inner lapels, a characteristic element of Japanese tailoring where luxury is often reserved for the interior. This piece reflects the enduring aesthetic of iki—a sophisticated, understated style that values high-quality materials and technical precision over overt ornamentation.

The measurements are 47 inches (119 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and 38 inches (97 cm) in height.
