■Item Details■

・Era: Early to mid-Showa period
・Material: Cotton

Noragi was a traditional workwear commonly worn by farmers and craftsmen in Japan from the Edo period through the mid-Showa era.
Known for its durable cotton fabric and functional design, it served as ideal outerwear for agricultural and outdoor labor across generations.

This particular piece is a rare example featuring a slightly longer length than usual, with a subdued black striped pattern that gives it a refined presence.
The lining is made of a plain indigo-dyed cotton fabric, which is highly popular and valued for its deep, rich tone.

In recent years, noragi has gained recognition internationally within the context of vintage and sustainable fashion.
As a traditional Japanese workwear garment, it is now appreciated not only for its historical value but also for the fresh perspective it brings to modern wardrobes.
This piece embodies both the practical beauty of indigo-dyed cotton and the timeless appeal of hand-made clothing from rural Japan.

There is a tear on the shoulder, a natural sign of aging after decades of use.
You may enjoy it as-is for its wabi-sabi charm, or consider repairing it to further enhance its uniqueness as a one-of-a-kind item.

This noragi is full of traditional Japanese wisdom and craftsmanship and invites you to rediscover its value as an everyday garment with a story.
