Koromo or Monks Robe.
Our Koromo is a Soto Style robe which is based on a typical pattern. It is more stylized and formal than the Lay Robe. The bodice is actually more similar to the Jubon. The skirt portion has more pleats and they overlap. And, there is an "arm pit ventilation" feature. The sleeves of the Koromo are extra long, extending far beyond the finger tips. We make the robe from the identical 100% cotton fabric.
Your have two fabric choices:
- a Black men's dress shirt weight fabric
- a light weight fabric just about half that weight.
The lighter weight fabric is an excellent choice if you live in a warmer climate or want a Koromo for late Spring and Summer wear which is not so hot.
