Before you order

The product and colour are fixed when you order; the size is provisional. We email you the final specification and an estimated shipping window, and begin production once we have your reply of “I confirm” and payment capture is complete.

Ships about three months after production begins. In rare cases — when a fabric has to be sourced or dyed for your order, or an artisan's schedule requires it — it can take longer. We tell you in that estimate, and contact you as soon as we know if anything changes during production.

Once your provisional size and the confirmations are complete, you can add to cart.

After checkout, Tak will contact you at the email address provided during checkout to confirm your size and final specifications.

02 — The Jacket

The straight lines of kimono,
for a modern body.

The quiet outline inherited from haori, redrawn for a modern body and the way it moves through a day.

  1. 01

    An outline redrawn from haori

    The stillness of the straight line is kept; shoulder, sleeve and front opening are balanced for how people layer now.

  2. 02

    It falls quietly. The crimson moves.

    A restrained sheen and a fluid drape. Only when you walk does the crimson inside show itself.

  3. 03

    Built for ordinary days

    Deep inner pockets and a chest pocket. The <em>chi</em> loops that carry a haori cord. Modern function, and what the haori handed down, in one garment.

03 — Samurai Mode

Three pieces.
One finished outline.

Jacket, Shirt, Pants. When their three straight lines meet, a contemporary silhouette rooted in Japanese dress emerges.

Together —
into Samurai Mode.

Collar, sleeve and hakama lines join into one. No dressing ritual — Samurai Mode is cut for a modern body.

Apart —
into your own wardrobe.

Wear the Jacket alone, over a T-shirt, a shirt, a dress, denim. It does not close itself off as traditional dress; it enters your wardrobe one piece at a time.

Details

Every detail
has a reason in kimono.

  • Make it yours, with haori cords
    or anything else you like

    A traditional haori can be closed at the front with a cord. The small loops that hold that cord are called <em>chi</em>, and we carried them into the Samurai Mode Jacket. Use a traditional haori cord, or fit a chain or a piece of jewellery you like and make the front your own. Japanese or Western, formal or relaxed — the same jacket goes either way. Wear it as no one else does.

  • Comfort first: the kimono opening
    called <em>miyatsuguchi</em>

    However sharp a design looks, it is not good design if it is uncomfortable to wear. So we brought <em>miyatsuguchi</em> into the jacket — the opening left between the side seam and the sleeve, unclosed by the outer cloth. It is an old construction, seen in kimono for women and children and not usual in kimono for men. Choosing it anyway opened a path for air, and made the jacket lighter and cooler to wear. With less tension across the side, the arm moves further and the shoulders lose that stiff, braced look. Removing cloth from under the arm also cuts the bulk, so the shoulder line reads slimmer. Even in a room where the meeting matters, it holds you with air moving through it and a measure of ease.

  • Three pockets, for the phone,
    the cards and the handkerchief

    Kimono, the garment this comes from, has no pockets. Modern days do not allow for that, so we gave the jacket three. One sits at the left chest, cut to take a pocket square in the manner of a Western formal jacket, so the piece holds up in a formal room. The other two are inner pockets, left and right. For the meeting where cards are exchanged, and equally for the day off with music in your ears — it was designed to come with you, not only to occasions.

04 — One Artisan / Made with time

Cut by hand.
Sewn by one artisan.
Made with time.

Not a production line.
The cloth is cut by one pair of hands, and a single artisan sews the garment through to the finish — collar, sleeve and hem carried by the same person. Few people are left who can take a garment that far alone.
