Traditional Japanese Apron: Frequently Asked Questions

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

What size is the Traditional Japanese Apron, and how does it fit?

The apron measures 21 x 25.5 in (55 x 65 cm) including the fringe, falling from the waist to about mid-thigh. The flat ties on each side let you adjust the fit, so it works for most adult waist sizes.

How is this apron meant to be worn?

It's a koshi-maki style waist apron, tied at the sides over your regular clothing rather than worn as a full bib apron. It sits at the waist and covers down to roughly mid-thigh while you cook.

How should the 100% cotton fabric be cared for?

As with most 100% cotton pieces, a gentle wash in cool-to-warm water and air-drying will help the calligraphy print and the fringe trim hold up over time. Avoid wringing it hard, since that can strain the twisted-cord fringe.

What can this apron be worn or paired with?

It layers easily over everyday kitchen clothes for regular cooking, or over simple outfits for Japanese cultural events, thanks to its classic calligraphy design and striped waistband. The side-tie closure makes it easy to put on over most clothing.

Hi, I'm Jade, founder of KimuraKami.

It started with one simple idea: Japanese style should be something you actually live with, not a costume you put away after one evening. Most of what we carry is clothing, and the rest is what goes around it: a mask on the wall, a lantern in the hallway, the cup you reach for every morning. I choose every piece myself, and I keep the ones I would use on an ordinary Tuesday.

Every order leaves here folded by hand, with a note. If something is not right, write to me and we will fix it.
