NORA SMOCK~japan old indigo cotton fabric~

This item is made using old Japanese indigo-dyed cotton cloth and is based on a French fisherman's smock.

The fabric used is an old indigo-dyed cotton cloth woven from the Meiji to Taisho periods.

It is a fabric found in tanmono, and the indigo dyeing is so deep that it is almost black. It's a fun fabric to see how it will grow over time as you wear it. The fabric feels dense and tightly woven, so it still has a sense of tension.

Compared to today's prosperous times, people were poor and that was all they had, and the world was completely different from what was expected. I feel it.

Where separate fabric is used (front, cuff endpapers), the same fabric is used for the body, and old indigo-dyed linen cloth is used for the cuffs.

The waist strap is also made from old cloth. Please do not pull it too tightly, just tie it lightly.

The buttons used on the body are French antique papier mache buttons made by compressing paper and hardening it with glue, and the cuffs are French wood buttons.
Papier mache was originally created with Japonism in mind in the West, with Japanese lacquerware in mind.
Even though more than 100 years have passed, I find it interesting that papier mache buttons are attached to clothes made from old Japanese cloth.

Cotton thread is used to match the vintage atmosphere.

Japanese old cloth tends to have a strong image of Japanese clothing, but when you look at the fabric without being bound by that stereotype, you can see that it is a fine fabric that has been hand-crafted and that can be proud to the world.

Why not try incorporating good old things into your daily life that are not found in modern times?

*This piece was sewn using an old treadle sewing machine. You might not be able to tell at first glance, but we hope you enjoy the loose seams that are produced by hand rather than electric power.

*This is a fabric that is over 100 years old. In order to enjoy it for a long time to come, please soak it in the wash before washing, and spin it gently by placing it in a net for dehydration.
