Japanese Kimono Jacket 'Kaito Edition'

The blue kimono jacket alive with cranes in flight

Where some crane prints whisper, this one celebrates. The Japanese kimono jacket sets a whole flock of white cranes against a vivid royal blue, wings spread and scattered with small blossoms across the entire jacket — a bright, joyful, all-over take on Japan's most beloved bird. It's the boldest blue in the range.

It's a short open jacket with elbow-length sleeves. The ground is a strong, saturated blue, and the all-over print sends white cranes flying across the front, back and sleeves, interspersed with delicate pink-and-white blossom. Unlike the washed, single-crane navy version, this one is dense, bright and covered edge to edge — full of movement.

A vivid all-over print is unapologetically a statement, so build the rest of the outfit around it. The bright blue and white is fresh and summery rather than heavy, which keeps the boldness wearable in daylight. Plain white tee, dark trousers, and the cranes do the rest. It's the piece for the man who wants colour and pattern, not subtlety.

It's made from a lightweight matte cotton with a breathable hand and a soft drape, the print kept vivid so the white cranes stay crisp against the royal blue through washing rather than fading. The relaxed open fit falls easily over a tee, light enough for warm-weather wear.

This is for the man who loves the crane motif and wants it bright, abundant and joyful rather than quiet. Ideal as a summer statement layer with real colour. Wear it open over a plain white tee with dark denim or black trousers. It runs slim, so take one size up for an easy drape.
