Kasuri Tea Cafe Apron

"karakuri Tea Cafe Apron" is a Japanese style apron reminiscent of hakama. The apron is designed to wrap around the back of the body, covering both the front and back of the body. The waist part is designed to be tightened like a judo belt. It is designed to accommodate movements such as bow legs and standing up from seiza. It is a traditional Japanese shape that can be used in situations where a Western-style apron would be inconvenient. It does not spread easily and does not stain the skirt when worn with spread skirts or voluminous skirts, not to mention kimono. The slit comes at the back so that the front and sides are less likely to get dirty, and the waistband is firm. Even with a lot of movement such as standing and sitting, the fabric does not stick out and does not fall apart easily. The pockets are made with an abdominal pressure structure, so you can use it as if you were tucking it into the obi of a kimono. The shape is easy to use in both Western and Japanese clothing, and can be used in any situation. It can be used not only for housework, but also as work wear for crafts, etc. The calm color will not show dirt. The clean, easy-to-use design is also recommended for uniforms. ●Material 　100% cotton ●Color 　Navy / Wine / Brown ●Size 　Total length: 75cm 　Body width: 120cm 　Pocket: 23cm wide x 9cm deep 　Cord length: 128cm 　※Please note that due to the handmade nature of the product, there may be an error from the above measurements. ●Handling Please be careful not to scratch the fabric as it is made of very fine fibers.

However, while it is strong, it may not feel good against the skin. That's why the owners of "ROoRING" and "fukumonoshop" developed this project using the Kurume Kasuri technique. The yarn is thinner than usual and woven in such a way that it gently contains air, resulting in the development of "karakuri," a Kasuri fabric that is soft and comfortable on the skin. The "karakuri" Kasuri fabric can be used throughout the year. The soft cotton fabric gently absorbs sweat and grease in the summer, while the airy texture keeps warm air inside the fabric to keep out the bitter cold in the winter. It is also housecleanable, so you can throw it in the washing machine without hesitation when it gets dirty or when you feel sweaty in the summer. The more you wash it, the softer it becomes, and the more you love it, the more you will love it. ●About the trading period This product will be made to order if it is not in stock at the actual store.
