From the brand: This is Hanten cloth, which was made into traditional short coats and vest worn by peasants and farm workers in Japan since the Edo period in the 18th century. These fabrics are produced at a small family run factory started in 1946 in southern Japan which is now in it's 3rd generation. This was the first time they have sold their fabric to a western clothing brand and we are proud to introduce it to our special customers!
