KAIROS Kimono Mens Ceremony Robe Black

A long hooded kimono robe in hand-block-printed cotton, cut to mid-calf with wide sleeves and an open front. Oversized hood, tie belt, two patch pockets. Light enough to pack, warm enough for a night that runs late. Handmade for ceremony and festival. Long nights are mostly spent sitting. On the ground in ceremony, or in a field somewhere between sets, with the temperature dropping the whole time. A hooded kimono robe handles that better than layers. It falls to mid-calf, so it covers your knees on the floor, and stays open at the front so nothing binds when you fold forward. An oversized hood Pull it forward and you get some distance from everything without going anywhere. Four in the morning is when that earns its place. Hand block printed cotton The bands are block printed by hand, pressed into the cloth one carved wooden block at a time with each join judged by eye. They run down both front edges, frame the hood, sit above each cuff and border the hem. The joins land differently every time, so no two robes are the same. Fabric and fit Soft cotton, hand loomed. Light enough to pack down small, open enough in the weave to sit near a fire in. Two buttons on cord loops, a tie belt, two patch pockets. Wide kimono sleeves with a raw fringe at the cuff. Falls to mid-calf. Handmade for ceremonies and festivals.
