Vintage Japanese smoking jacket mens. Large heavy silk, 70 years old
The Korean War was in its early stages when an American couple arrived in Asia. They were searching for additions to their collection of Asian art. They ended up in a shop that also showcased smoking jackets and they fell in love with two – one. For each of them. That was 70 years ago. Since then the two smoking jackets have been stored in a glass case for display. The men’s jacket is in immaculate condition. There is a small wrinkle at the back from being hung for so long. This listing if for the men’s jacket only. I’m also listing the women’s smoking jacket separately.
