In Tohoku, where winters were long and cotton was scarce and precious, nothing was discarded: a worn futon cover was layered with scraps and bound with sashiko running stitch, each repair a winter survived. What began as necessity is now recognized as some of the most quietly beautiful textile work in the world. Tonal, indigo-deep, no two pieces alike. The futonji this jacket is built from carries that history in every stitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe fit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSlightly cropped, with a 1930s engineer line through the yoke and pockets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEach is made from a single piece of antique boro, hand-curated for its age and character.
