Choosing a haori
What a haori is
A haori is the Japanese jacket worn open over a kimono, first as menswear and later as formal dress; the haori jacket guide explains the cut and the cords. Take the kimono away and it becomes a straight, light jacket that goes over a tee or a shirt.
The five here
The Long Haori Coat is the long cut, worn open like the rest, in a cotton blend in black, army green or navy, XS to XL.
The Summer Haori Jacket is the light one, a polyester weave in black, white, blue, light grey or dark grey, XS to XXL.
The Open-Front Cotton Haori is cut the way the original was: a straight body, a collar band down both fronts and nothing to fasten, in grey cotton, XS to XXL.
The Southwestern Jacquard Haori Jacket is the heavy one. A thick cotton jacquard is woven with diamonds and bands, and the front crosses over and ties with a single cord, in blue or grey, XS and S.
The Reversible Textured Haori Jacket has a shawl collar, a waist tie and two patch pockets, in a crinkled cotton linen that can be worn either side out, grey, XS to L.
After a black haori? The long coat and the summer haori both come in black.
Haori, noragi or kimono jacket
A haori is the formal short overlayer. A noragi is the tied work jacket of farmers. A men's kimono jacket is a modern everyday layer that borrows from both. If you want structure, the haori; if you want something worn in, the noragi. If you want the embroidery to be the point, the sukajan.
Fit and what to wear it with
All five are cut for men, straight through the body with a dropped shoulder, and worn open. Take your usual size, or one up to wear it over a sweater. Over a plain tee and Japanese pants it reads as intended; over a shirt and straight trousers it replaces a light blazer.
Care
The long coat and the summer haori machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and hang to dry. For the other three, follow the care label sewn into the jacket. The best haori jackets for men compares prices across shops.

Domande frequenti
Can you wear a haori without a kimono?
Yes, and most people now do. Over a tee or a shirt with straight or wide trousers it works as a light jacket.
Do you have a black haori?
Yes. The Long Haori Coat and the Summer Haori Jacket both come in black. The open-front cotton haori and the reversible jacket are grey, and the jacquard haori is blue or grey.
Is there a long haori?
Yes. The Long Haori Coat is the long cut here and is worn open like the others. The rest are shorter jackets; each product page lists the length from the supplier’s chart.
Is a haori jacket menswear?
It started as menswear. Every haori here is cut for men, straight through the body with a dropped shoulder, and is worn open over everyday clothes rather than over a kimono.
How should a haori fit?
Loose and open. It falls to the hip or upper thigh and hangs open over a tee or shirt. Take your usual size, or one size up to layer it over a sweater; each product page lists the measurements.
What is the difference between a haori and a kimono jacket?
Kimono jacket is the English name for the same loose, wide-sleeved cut. A haori is traditionally the short jacket worn over a kimono, so the two words describe very similar jackets.
How do I wash a haori?
The Long Haori Coat and the Summer Haori Jacket machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and hang to dry. For the other three, follow the care label sewn into the jacket.
How long does delivery take?
Orders leave within 1 to 2 business days and usually arrive 5 to 9 business days after dispatch, with tracking. Shipping is free over $60, and returns are open for 30 days from delivery.
