MK39 Antique Kimono, Purple; Buddhist Monk.

I think this monk was a smoker; notice the little burn holes I have photographed for you.  Still, these are not all that noticeable because of their location on the sleeves and at the shoulder, where most of the folding and draping of the extra fabric will make them less apparent.  This is a synthetic blend, meaning that it will be easier to care for than most and I've taken the damages into account with the pricing.  Here are your specs:

SOLD MK38 Antique Kimono Men's Kimono/Haori Set. 

This is a nice formal set with an interesting crest; it is called "cut bamboo cross, encircled."  The lining of the kimono is navy blue, while the lining of the matching haori is much more interesting!  A poem in one frame, an old house in another frame and the Samurai gallops under one toward the other. The ensemble is Hiraginu  (plain) silk and of course there are all five crests on each piece.  Here are your specs:

MK34 Antique Kimono For Men, Grey Silk.

This is one of the extremely few men's kimono I have been able to acquire in a color; this one is grey!  Not a dark charcola grey that is nearly black, but a true grey; very nice!  Te crest is wood sorrel and swords; another unusual thing about this kimono is the three crests instead of five.  Here are your specs:

MK33  Antique Kimono Haori Set For Men, Hitoe, Himo.

I'm always on the lookout for men's kimono and haori sets and am even more interested when the set is not black; this one is blue!  The haori has himo attached, which is getting more and more rare in these secondhand garments for men.  Here are your specs:

MK28 Antique Kimono & Haori Set For Men. 

This constitutes the basic kimono/haori for formal occasions; each piece has five crests.  The liner of the haori is plain white with what appears to be water staining; this will most likely come out with dry cleaning.  The kimono liner is slightly yellowed with age at the upper half, while the lower half is blue silk.  The exteriors of both garments are fine, however.  Since these two are designed to be worn together, the kimono body width measurement and wrist to wrist measurement will be about half an inch smaller than the haori measurement, which is wrist to wrist 52", body width 24 1/2", sleeve drop 21", length 41 1/2"; kimono length is 53".  The set is only $80.00. 

SOLD MK27 Antique Kimono For Men, Unused.

This one is that wonderful glossy, nubby Tsumugi silk, black outside with a plain blue silk liner.  Shitsuke at the sleeves and collar strips say this one is either unused or recently cleaned.  The five crests are interesting; three stars and the Ichi, or Kanji number one.  Excellent condition, it measures wrist to wrist 51", body width 25", sleeve drop 20", length 54".  It is $65.00.           

MK17 Men's Summer Wool Kimono Haori Set.

This is a lightweight summer wool in dark blue.  The kimono is completely unlined, and as you can see in the picture top right, has a very small moth hole (about 1/8") on the top of the left shoulder.  The matching haori is lined only in the upper body (picture lower right), the sleeves are unlined.  A nice everyday set, and priced right, too!  The set is $85.00.
