Men's Wrap-Front Samue Top and Trousers, in detail

This samue top crosses over at the chest and fastens with a toggle, the long-sleeve half of the work set Japanese Zen monks wore for temple chores. It pairs with lined balloon trousers gathered at the hem. Buy the top, the trousers or the full set.

Ours pairs a long-sleeve top that crosses over at the chest and fastens with a toggle, with lined balloon trousers gathered at the hem. Buy the top, the trousers, or the full set.

Size

One size for both pieces. The top measures 130 cm around the chest, 77 cm long, with a 58 cm shoulder and a 57 cm sleeve. The trousers have a drawstring waist from 58 to 120 cm, a 280 cm hip and an 88 cm length.

Fabric and care

Both pieces are 80% polyester and 20% cotton. The trousers are lined. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, or hand wash cold. Hang to dry.

How to wear it

Wear the set as it was meant: at home, on a slow weekend, with sandals. The top also works alone over wide trousers. The balloon trousers pair with a plain tee for errands.

Monks needed clothing they could kneel, squat and carry water in for hours without anything binding at the waist or the shoulder, and that brief still shapes the cut: a wrap top with no buttons to catch and trousers with room to sit. It still works.

Pairs well with the modern open-front cotton haori and the summer haori jacket. Also in the same family: the japanese one leg skirt wrap pants.

Curious how it compares with other sets? Where to buy a samue covers prices and fabrics. Traditional Japanese clothing places it beside the jinbei and hakama. More cuts sit in Japanese pants.
