【Product Appeal】
This is a piece of Japanese vintage workwear (artisan hanten).
It is made from indigo-dyed cotton, which appears to be hand-spun and hand-woven, with a substantial thickness that has softened beautifully over time.
The cuff linings feature a contrasting olive-khaki fabric, creating a very modern and stylish look when rolled up and displayed.
In recent years, this genre has been highly acclaimed by overseas vintage collectors as Japan Vintage and Noragi (workwear). Simply layering it over modern clothing such as denim, military wear, or white shirts instantly creates a unique and distinctive outfit.

【Condition】
There are some minor signs of wear consistent with age, such as slight rubbing, fading, and minor wear marks. However, there are no noticeable tears or significant damage, and it remains in very good condition for workwear of this era. The fabric is still robust and suitable for practical wear. We kindly ask that only those who appreciate the aesthetic of antique folk crafts consider this item.
