VANGUARD No.5 Selvedge Denim Kimono is the 5th installment in this unique American-Made Cone Mills Denim Kimono. This kimono is slightly roomier than our comp kimonos and is lightweight. It features our signature 4-piece jacket with 5-piece pant construction. It is lined and trimmed with vintage “Deadstock” Japanese mini-pinstripe indigo denim. The collar features a multi-colored “Chain-Stitch” finish, as well as triple needle seams for a stronger, more durable product. The VANGUARD Kimono is pre-laundered with an enzyme and silicone finish for a deluxe texture and soft feel.
NOTE: This kimono WILL NOT shrink. Repeat - it will not shrink and comes up slightly shorter in the arm/pant length compared to a new Vanguard (unwashed) kimono. Please keep this in mind and if you are on the taller side in arms / legs you will need to order a size up. Wash separately to avoid any color-contamination from the indigo denim dye. WASH COLD and HANG DRY. Refer to the Size Chart provided for proper sizing and measuring information. Contact Customer Service for any additional questions. Always wash this kimono first to avoid color contamination.
PLEASE READ: Due to the 'Vintage Wash’ process some fabric distress and blemish is normal and to be expected. Each kimono is unique and one-of-a-kind. This is part of the design of this kimono. We have inspected each and every kimono to ensure that there were no fabrication defects or compromised seams before we ship. In the event there is a seam defect or a fabric defect OR there is a tear that happens with the fabric we will repair this free of charge pending inspection. The shipping will start June 30th for the reserve list. Please allow 14 days from start of shipping to receive your kimono.
