Vintage Kimono Coat Womens Long Length Cotton Michiyuki

Gorgeous vintage indigo dyed handmade kimono coat in a woven cotton. Wearable, in excellent condition. This three-quarter length kimono-style jacket originated in the 20th century as an over-kimono coat that was worn for extra warmth and/ or protection while out and about. Its low, square neckline was designed to attractively frame the overlapping neckbands of the kimono and under-kimono worn underneath. Today, the Michiyuki is worn as a dressy overcoat, casual coat-dress, and artist's or work smock, perfect for studio or garden tasks. Lengthened and made out of water-repellent fabric, it also functions as a raincoat.
