Vintage Synthetic Kimono(s), Mock Silk
& Fabrics sold as fabric, by-pound:

US$5/lb -- 10lbs minimum=$50.00
(includes United Parcel Service (UPS) to Continental USA & Postal to some of Canada, others discounted)


"D" PACKAGE DESCRIPTIONS:

1. CONTENT:

Packages are comprised of: Synthetic kimono & fabrics, Mixed(grades 1-3) by-the-Pound (10lb Minimum). We offer a package of 10lbs and up in 1 pound increments above that, all assorted as described here.

2. SORTING DETAILS:

These are all worn/used/old recycled Japanese garments, sold by the pound, and are meant for cutting, artwork, design, crafts etc. and mostly not for wear, though very often are used for casual wear ; Each order contains a mix of:

    Solid colors & patterned.
    Warm & Cold.
    Men's & women's (mostly women's)
    Mix of short kimono (haori/michiyuki) and longs varies.
    No obis any longer.
    Children's kimonos are increasingly rare and seldom included in by-pound.
3. QUALITY & CONDITION:

Conditions vary from excellent to good, a few 'fair' only because of missing sleeve or similar. Pieces are only included if they have aesthetic value. Sometimes we do included deadstock rolls. We do not send 'rag' quality soiled kimono(s).

As vintage, all our by-pound kimonos will have some stains & imperfections, but many are of the sort sold by many of our competitors as by-piece items.

4. BY-POUND COUNTS:

This is a BY-POUND product, not based on piece-count. However, for general information,
the count of kimono per 20lbs varies: silks average 15-20 kimonos per 20lbs. We do not guarantee count, as this is a by-pound product, but these estimations give a good idea of what you get in a typical order.

6. IMPORTANT NOTE RE: JAPANESE SYNTHETIC MOCK SILKS:

As this package is comprised of synthetics (mock-silks), it is important to know that in the 1970's the Japanese kimono makers began experimenting with synthetics which were made to be as close as possible to natural silk. Many of the higher quality synthetic silk kimonos from the 1970's and later are often so good that even knowledgeable persons have trouble telling them from silk just by looking at them.

Also -- an additional note -- the polyesters used in Japanese blends with natural fiber silks are NOT anything like some of the lesser quality polyesters we're accustomed to in the US/Europe.
