NORA JACKET~Japan old boro fabric~Nanbu hemp

Based on the 1946 Japanese National Railways jacket, this work is made using Japanese boro.

BORO refers to worn cloth, worn and torn clothes, or clothes covered in patches. Sashiko is a handicraft technique that has been passed down in Japan since ancient times, and it is said that it began when clothes were embroidered to reinforce damaged cloth and protect it from the cold.

It has been used in people's daily lives for more than 100 years, and has been washed and used for generations to reinforce damaged areas and protect against the cold. The texture of the fabric is soft, and it has a gentle atmosphere because it has been living for a long time.

The BORO used for the front was originally used for futons and rugs, and was found in Iwate Prefecture. Nanbu hemp is the base, and hemp and cotton cloth are sewn on top of it with hemp thread.

The expression of cloth born in a harsh era where the world was completely different from the richer modern era, where there was nothing but poverty, makes me feel a unique atmosphere that can only be found in that era.

I made it unbacked so that the side that was originally visible as the front can be seen. It is a shame that the stencil dyeing of Nanbu hemp is hidden, and it has a good atmosphere.

The button is a French antique papier mache button made by compressing paper and hardening it with glue.
This papier-mâché was originally made with Japanese lacquerware in mind as part of the Japonism that was popular in the West.
More than 100 years later, I find it interesting that papier mache buttons are attached to jackets made from Japanese boro.

Vintage ciel buttons are used for the power buttons, and each one is attached with a hand-wrapped neck wrap. Buttonholes and clasps are hand-sewn to match the atmosphere of old fabrics. I think that you can feel something like warmth that cannot be produced by machines.

Cotton thread is used to match the vintage atmosphere, and it is partially hand-sewn so that the softness of the linen cloth remains.

You can't get the exact same fabric, and even if you do, you can't make the same thing twice. I feel that the cloth that is sewn by hand stitch by stitch gives a truly rich expression to each piece.

Please enjoy the one and only jacket.

*The Japanese National Railways jacket is based on the shape, but the raglan sleeves make the shoulder line look good. The width of the body is also wide at the hem, so it has an A-line silhouette and a loose fit.
