Men's Juban

The White Cotton Hadajyubans for men and women will be the only newly manufactured garment I will present; they are so very useful in so many ways from traditional to non-traditional that I had to go ahead with stocking them.

This juban has unlined sleeves and a plain liner in the body. The batik ground is especially nice as a backdrop to the scenes within the shapes and the decorative work is nicely balanced. In excellent condition, it measures wrist to wrist 52", body width 24 1/2", sleeve drop 19 1/4" and length 51". It is $75.00.

This juban has a couple if issues, as you can see. There are two shreds in the liner, one to each side, and both of them are at the bottom of the liner as you see in the picture bottom right. I am thinking a piece of sheeting inserted beneath and then stitched to the liner to prevent any further shredding would do it. Also, you can see that there is a pinhole, but I find that utterly insignificant, same as I feel about the very faint water marks that are found with careful examination in a couple of places. I wanted this one because of the olive color, because it is silk instead of wool, and because of the extremely well done shishi present on both back and front of the garment. Wrist to wrist 53", body width 24 1/4", sleeve drop 18 3/4", length 49". Taking the flaws into account, it is only $75.00.

What an awesome juban! It is lined only at the shoulders and upper back, and the off-black silk is very light, soft, and smooth. On the back is an extremely well rendered crawfish done in the shibori technique. This would have been for a smaller gentleman; as you can see in the picture bottom right, it has had shoulder tucks taken on both sides to make it smaller. These stitches can be picked out to release the garment to it's full size if you wish. Currently measures wrist to wrist 50", body width 25", sleeve drop 19 1/2", length 53 1/2" with tucks in place. The tucks are 1 1/2" each, so releasing them would give you another 3" wrist to wrist and around another inch in body width. Dramatic piece, it is $95.00.

This is a man's juban, circa 1930's. It is black silk with a white liner and dark blue collar strip, and the pattern of bamboo is done is rice shibori, while the birds are done in tied shibori. The black of the silk has that 'off-black' tone that the really old silks have. This is extremely finely creped, so is most likely Kinsha silk. Measures wrist to wrist 52", body width 25 1/2", sleeve drop 20", length 5301/2". It is in beautiful condition, especially for it's age, and it is a very good deal at $95.00.
