Deep red OS Hantan, Vintage, Hand Crafted, beautiful! The two callouts are a little sun fading on left shoulder and a small hole on back collar, see pictures. A hanten is a “one size fits all” robe-like garment that stops mid-thigh. Hanten have three-quarter length sleeves which are flattering on petite frames and proportional to tall frames. The entire process of making a hanten jacket involves 30 different steps from start to finish, such as designing patterns, weaving, binding, and dyeing cotton cloth. The best hanten are made using Kurume Kasuri cotton, which is a type of woven cotton fabric dyed with indigo, produced in Kurume City, Fukuoka. A majority of production is still done by hand following the techniques introduced by Den Inoue, the originator of Kurume Kasuri. The shape of hanten are not differentiated between men and women, the only difference being that men tend to prefer darker colors and simpler patterns, so for this reason some hanten are labelled men’s hanten, and some women’s hanten. But there’s actual no reason why any hanten shouldn’t be worn by anyone who likes it Hanten are 100% cotton garments that have a cotton/polyester blend padding.. To clean your hanten, first handwash it in warm water using neutral detergent. Rinse immediately and do not tumble-dry. If possible it is best leave in the sun to dry to retain shape.
