[Size 4L] Length: 87cm, Sleeve length: 82cm, Waist: 112-120cm, Pants length: 108cm [Kurume-ori samue (traditional Japanese work clothes)] These samue (traditional Japanese work clothes) are made in our own factory and are entirely domestically produced using pre-dyed yarn. Until recently, samue were a specialized type of clothing sold exclusively for Buddhist monks. Kurume-ori samue were developed as everyday wear that could be worn by ordinary households. Production began in the latter half of the Showa era, and before that, few people wore them as everyday clothing. However, thanks to its production capabilities encompassing dyeing, weaving, and sewing, it gained a reputation for high quality and was sold nationwide. Thanks to its brand reputation and reliability as a product of Kurume, it has many repeat customers, including many overseas fans. It is by a wide variety of people, including monks, Japanese restaurant owners, innkeepers, martial artists, ceramic artists, writers, painters, calligraphers, and more. *Fabrics woven after the yarn has been dyed are generally called pre-dyed. Many plain fabrics from overseas are post-dyed (white fabric dyed afterward) for better production efficiency, but they often have poor colorfastness. As a result, they may fade quickly after washing and drying in the sun, or the wash water may become cloudy. The inherent colorfastness of a dyed product is called colorfastness. (Various tests are conducted according to JIS standards and indicated on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being the lowest and 5 being the highest.) This product has been verified to have a sufficient rating of 4 or higher (dry friction) for cotton fabrics, so you can wear it with confidence. [Material] 100% Cotton [Country of Origin]
