Porter Classic "Koginzashi"

Appeared again!
An item made with "Kogin-zashi", one of the three major types of Japanese sashiko.

The jacket that arrived last year and sold out in no time.
The design has been upgraded to make it easier to wear and is now available again.

First of all, what is Koginzashi?
Koginzashi is a traditional technique handed down in Hirosaki.
In the Tsugaru region, it is said that this name was given because the work clothes were called kogin (also called small cloth or small cloth).
Unlike other types of sashiko, the stitches are made by counting an odd number of stitches against the vertical weave.

Sashiko is
It is a traditional Japanese embroidery that uses white thread to draw lines on indigo cloth.

Sashiko was born from the wisdom of life, and it is a technique that has been around for about 500 years.
Sashiko made using this technique can be seen all over the country, and the origin of the technique is unknown, but Sashiko, which has been handed down in the Tohoku region in particular, is widely known.
It is said that sashiko was first applied to clothing as protection against the cold and reinforcement.


Produced by reviving such sashiko in modern times.

Porter Classic "Kogin series"
It is not a tight and tight Kogin, but a disordered, distorted, and misaligned sashiko fabric that is finished with a PC-like feel.
In addition, it is attractive that all the processing is finished by hand by craftsmen one by one.

Anyway, it takes time and effort to wear one.
It can't be helped that the arrival was a little late....lol

Please try “Kogin-zashi”, which has overwhelming beauty and splendor among sashiko in Japan.
