MJK1020M23 - Sashiko Submarine Jacket - Indigo
Momotaro - Sashiko Submarine Jacket - Indigo
We're really jazzed that Sashiko hasn't taken on an entirely new life in 2022. It's clearly a central theme of Momotaro's entire collection for fall. It used to be a rarity that would sell out and leave people wanting more. Well now, we have the real deal from one of the original companies that brought it to popularity in multiple colors and a myriad of styles. This is one we're particularly happy to see come down the pipeline. The submarine jacket, with its stand collar, roomy fit, and oversized pockets is one of our all-time favorite silhouettes. It's an easy layering piece with a ton of character and an aptitude for fading. Plus, it's royal blue and has a quilted liner to keep you warm all winter long. What could go wrong?
- 100% Cotton Indigo-dyed sashiko fabric
- Padded Quilted Liner
- Two front flap pockets
- Hidden Handwarmer Pockets
- Oversized Buttons
- Made in Japan

A variance of .5" is within tolerance.
Fit Notes: We find that these fit big which is not the norm for Momotaro. Shop owner Tommy is wearing a 40 in the pictures, but should likely have sized down to a 38 for the best fit. The roomy nature of this jacket should allow you to stick with your true size or size down one for a slim fit. He is our standard fit model at 5'10", 165lbs with a 40" chest. He typically wears 42 or Large from most Japanese brands and 40 or M from most North American brands.
Apparel
The last time we saw this flannel it was dyed with Kakishibu. We didn't think that could be topped, but you know how much we love mud. Amami Dorozome is an age-old process done on the island of Amami-Oshima in Japan. It's a blend of mud and vegetable oil that creates rich earth tones in a washed-out, well-worn pigment only achievable through this process. In a traditional cotton check pattern such as this, it shines its brightest. We didn't get our hands on this personally last time, but we aren't going to let this one slip through our fingers.

These guys keep one-upping the Sashiko game every year. We didn't get a chance to see these in person, but we're so glad we picked them up. They are so much better than we could've even imagined. At first sight, they look like a denim pant lined with a hickory stipe screen print. Then, we got close up and realized it was the vertical sashiko creating that line work. The hand-feel after the one-wash is beyond soft, but they're still packed with so much color you're still going to get those incredible highs and lows in the knees. The great part about sashiko is you get varied high points throughout the garment that catch wear in a different way. The inspiration for sashiko garments derives from the Japanese sashiko which never truly died. They would use pieces of the last garment to create the new, hand stitching throughout. Well, they've taken this concept and created a modern work of art. They've used a combination of No.6 warp and No.5 weft yarns on specially calibrated Jacquards looms. Their hope is to replicate the Sashiko stitchwork of the kimonos, and we'd say they've accomplished that pretty damn well.

The only thing that could've improved this serge western was a new color. This one was originally called Mocha Brown, which we think is very suitable. It's this rich color that suits this now iconic shirt. It used to be that we rarely saw green from Iron Heart, but now green is a staple. So, we've been super stoked to see khakis and browns rearing their pretty heads. You can't go wrong with the western cut, unless you don't size up, as it has some absolutely gorgeous details. We love the yokes and Permex buttons the most on these beauties.
