Slip into a piece of traditional Japanese martial arts heritage with this hand-stitched, indigo-dyed Kendo jacket. Crafted from 100 percent cotton, the garment has the substantial weight and deep blue tone that Japanese indigo textiles are known for.

Kendo wear is built for endurance and focus, and indigo dye has long been valued for helping strengthen the fabric it colors. Over time, indigo pieces like this one fade gently with wear, developing a patina that tells the story of its use.

This is a pre-owned jacket showing character from its previous life on the kendo floor. It's a genuine piece of Japanese craft, suited to training or as a striking addition to casual wear.
