What makes a kimono jacket
A kimono jacket is not a kimono
A kimono is a full-length robe, wrapped and belted, and in Japan it is still largely formal wear. Its summer cotton version is the yukata, and yukata vs kimono sets out where the two differ. A men's kimono jacket takes only the upper half of that idea: the straight body, the wide sleeves and the front that crosses or hangs open. What you are left with is a light layer that goes over a tee the way an overshirt does, without any of the ceremony.
The shape sits between two other Japanese jackets. The haori jacket is the short layer traditionally worn over a kimono. The noragi is the tied work jacket of farmers. A kimono jacket borrows from both and belongs to neither, which is why it is the easiest of the three to wear with Western clothes. At the loudest end of the same wardrobe sits the embroidered satin sukajan.
Open front, tied or wrapped
The twelve pieces here either hang open or close with a tie. None of them button.
Open front. The haori hang straight with nothing to fasten. The Modern Open-Front Cotton Haori and the Cotton Japanese Kimono Jacket are the entry pieces, at $42.90 and $43.90. The Summer Haori is a thin polyester weave for heat, and the Long Haori Coat falls well below the hip.
Tied. The Tied Kimono Cardigan is 98% cotton with riveted patch pockets. The Cross Collar Kimono Shirt fastens with a single tie inside the seam. The Crane Embroidered Kimono Jacket ties at the front, and the Reversible Textured Haori ties at the waist in a cotton and linen blend. The Washed Denim Kimono and the Wrap Front Kimono Style Jacket are the heavier cotton pieces. The Southwestern Jacquard Haori is the thickest cloth in the range.
Wrapped. The Kimono Coat is a lined, hip-length wrap cardigan. It ties at the side, with a shawl collar running down the crossover.
How to wear a kimono jacket
Treat it as the only loose thing on your top half. Over a plain tee or tank it reads clean; over another loose layer it turns into a robe. Underneath, it works with Japanese pants and wide-leg trousers, with shorts in summer, or with relaxed denim. Most pieces here are cut loose or relaxed, so there is room over a tee without sizing up.

Kimono jacket, haori, kimono cardigan or kimono coat
The same garment collects several names. A kimono jacket for men is the short layer with a straight body and wide sleeves. A haori is the traditional version, worn open over a kimono. A kimono shirt is the crossover piece that fastens. People also call it a male kimono top. Kimono cardigan describes how the open ones are worn, loose over a tee. Kimono coat means something longer or heavier. Here that is the lined Kimono Coat and the Long Haori Coat.
Caring for it
The cotton pieces wash cold with like colours and should not be bleached. Check the label on the jacquard haori and the lined Kimono Coat first. Hang everything to dry to keep the shape, and a warm iron takes out creasing at the collar.
