This thing is super rare and hard to find. Lightly padded in a deep indigo kurume-kasuri fabric with Japanese fabric embellishments on the pockets. The texture of the fabric is insane, a bit rough and raised, but still crazy soft and puffy. It's lightly padded so it provides lots of warmth and plushness. Armpit slits for ventilation, 3/4 sleeves (or full sleeves, depending on how short your arms are). Hits about thigh length.

"“Ikatto” – an international word which represents “kasuri”
The word of “kasuri” is originated from a Malay: “bind” or “tie.”
The feature of kasuri-textile is a technique to twine and dye vertical threads and horizontal ones together so as to weave up a design. We can see it all over the world.
The technique is conveyed pervasively from India, the originated place, to Persia and South Europe, from China and Southeast Asia to Ryukyu.
The representative types of kasuri made in Japan are Hingo-kasuri in Hiroshima, Iyo-kasuri in Ehime, and Kurume-kasuri in Fukuoka.
Kurume-kasuri wasn’t conveyed from the continent, but born from the daily life – people worked their loom and wove clothes for their family, which has developed as kasuri with their creativities."

Size 1, but it can fit an XS-M because it's oversized, and in classic Cosmic Wonder fashion, a unisex piece. Retailed for over $1500 here, and pieces from this season (I think it was last year) are getting near impossible to find. I purchased it brand new and wore it for a season and it kept me plenty warm
