This is a stunning genuine Japanese, ladies' kimono michiyuki short coat/jacket, in excellent vintage made but unused condition. 

Michiyuki are short coats originally to be worn over a full length kimono. Nowadays often worn as a fashion item.

The fabric is a light-to-mid weight matte slightly textured polyester in a very attractive shade of scarlet red. 

There are all over woven abstract geometric designs. Very wearable, perhaps with jeans or with smart black trousers.

The square neckline and the front are fastened with press studs, decorated with covered buttons.

Lined in the top half in a pretty ivory and orange leaf patterned fabric. There are matching ties inside the jacket.

There is a hidden pocket in the front, between the buttons. This pocket is still closed by the original basting stitches.

See final photos. Traditional kimono styling with mid length rectangular split sleeves.

Michiyuki are cut quite straight, so the hips won't be wider than the bust. Michiyuki are flattering on the tummy area.

The jacket is in excellent vintage made but unused condition, no noticeable marks or flaws.

Some of the large tacking stitches (shitsuke-ito) are still in place. See final 2 photos. Please remove before wearing.

Each of my jackets is individually sourced from Japan, and every one is different.

These jackets can be dressed up or down, and are fashionable worn with jeans or trousers or even as a short dress!

Worn over a simple top, I believe this would best fit a UK size 10-12, maybe a 14. 

Should not be worn tight on the hips or the press studs will open.
