Japanese Indigo Shop Worker Coat
A heavy cotton work jacket from mid-20th century Japan identifies the wearer as employee number four in Mr. Ebihara's shop in Aoyama. Worn by workers in even the smallest establishments, jackets such as this one were handmade and paste resist dyed. Still today one of the charms of entering a small shop in Japan is encountering workers in matching jackets who sing out welcome greetings, although today their coats probably will not be handmade. This small piece of old Japan is in very good condition. Dimensions: width sleeve tip to sleeve tip, 49" (125 cm), shoulder width 25" (64 cm), length 33" (84 cm).
