Hand-woven Tussar Silk Cicada Jacket (3 colors available)

Product Description

A classic CALICO haori jacket made from hand-woven tussah silk fabric.

The crispness and transparency characteristic of tussah silk is reminiscent of a cicada shell, hence the name Cicada Jacket.

The length is slightly longer than before, giving it a more mature look.
The checkered pattern of the kasuri, created by partially dyeing the threads black, conveys a cool feeling.

It's lightweight and compact, making it a useful item to have when traveling or during seasonal changes.

Before you purchase

* This product is also sold in stores, so it may be sold out at the time of your order. If the product is out of stock after you place your order, we will contact you.

* Hand-spun yarn is mainly produced by village women using a modern and highly efficient spinning wheel called an amvirtualka. If the yarn breaks, it will have knots as it has to be spun by hand.

* Most hand-woven and hand-spun fabrics are made in village huts, and depending on the environment, threads and grass may be mixed in. There may also be uneven areas, twists, smudges caused by skipped threads, and unavoidable stains. Please understand that these are characteristics of Indian fabrics before purchasing.

* Depending on the material, friction when worn may cause shrinkage or pilling. Please avoid excessive friction or pressure as it may cause damage to the fabric.

* Please be aware that naturally dyed fabrics and clothing may fade or transfer color due to friction, rain, sweat, etc. We also recommend washing them separately from other clothing and drying them in the shade. Please be careful when wearing them with light-colored clothing or bags, or when using them next to furniture.

*This item is recommended to be dry cleaned. Please consult a specialist store.
