{"product_id":"faded-blue-jinbei-set-hanada","title":"Faded Blue Jinbei Set 'Hanada'","description":"\u003ch2\u003eFaded slate blue crinkle gauze, top and trousers, the colour of old indigo\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blue on this jinbei set is the blue of indigo cloth that has been washed for years: a slate blue with grey in it, softer than navy and deeper than sky, the colour of a work jacket at the end of its second summer. The top wraps and ties at the side, the trousers are loose and plain, and both are in a crinkled cotton gauze that holds air against the skin and never sticks. One patch pocket, sleeves to the elbow, no trim.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is the plain jinbei with the most character in its colour, because a faded blue reads as if it has a history even when it is new, and because it goes with every other blue a wardrobe has.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe name, Hanada, is one of the oldest colour names in Japanese, the light indigo a cloth reaches after fewer dips in the vat than navy, and it is exactly this shade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe gauze is cotton, crinkled in the finish rather than by ironing, so it never needs pressing and goes back to its texture after every wash. The fade is in the dye, not in wear, so it will not go further than it already has.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWear the top crossed left over right and knot the tie at the hip; the trousers sit at the waist on a soft band. At home it is the set for the whole day. Out, with sandals, it is a summer outfit in the colour Japan has worn to work for three hundred years, and it looks like it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUp close the crinkle shows its pucker and the blue shows its grey. From across a garden it is a faded blue two-piece, calm and slightly worn-looking, which is the look people pay extra for in denim and get here in gauze.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt goes with white, with grey, with darker blues and with bare feet. Of the plain sets in the range, this is the one to choose if grey feels too neutral and navy too formal, and it is the one most people end up wearing most.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe two pieces are meant to be worn together, and they are meant to fade together: wash them cold, in the same load, and they will keep the same blue as the years go on, which is the whole pleasure of an indigo set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSizes run from M to XXL. It is cut to Asian sizing and runs small, so take one size up from your usual. Between two sizes, take the larger.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"YONAKU","offers":[{"title":"M","offer_id":59207697563996,"sku":"14:1254#Dark grey;5:361386","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"L","offer_id":59207697596764,"sku":"14:1254#Dark grey;5:361385","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL","offer_id":59207697629532,"sku":"14:1254#Dark grey;5:100014065","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XXL","offer_id":59207697662300,"sku":"14:1254#Dark grey;5:4182","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1055\/3386\/6332\/files\/faded-blue-jinbei-set-hanada-1.jpg?v=1790580338","url":"https:\/\/yonaku.com\/products\/faded-blue-jinbei-set-hanada","provider":"YONAKU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
