Description
From the Envelope Back
Patterns and sewing instructions are included for three garments — The Hippari, sized for men and women; Monpei (field pants), for women up to size 14, and a Padded Jacket, for women. All are constructed in the time-honored way. The Hippari is a hip-length jacket that overlaps in front and ties at the side. Its front opening is finished with a neckband. Two different elbow-length sleeves are given: for women, a rectangular sleeve with small traditional openings under the arms in both sleeve and body; for men, sleeves are tapered, with no underarm opening.
The calf-length Field Pants have pleats at the waist below back and front waistbands that wrap and tie. Roomy gussets at the crotch allow full ease of movement; leg hems are finished with elastic. There is a patch pocket on the right front hip. The Padded Jacket has a straight front opening and neckband. Construction includes an outer layer, batting, and a short contrasting lining. The curved sleeves (which can also be used, unpadded, on the Hippari), have traditional underarm openings.
Pattern Specifics
Folkwear 112 includes the full-size pattern pieces, and instructions for making the Japanese Field Clothing. Enlarge the photo for a better look at the details. Let me know if you’d like to see the envelope back. This is sized for Misses’ Small to Large (30-1/2″ to 38″ bust) and Men with 34-44″ chests. The envelope measures about 11-1/4″ x 8-5/8″ and the pattern and instructions are printed on white bond paper. This has 1982 copyright.
Condition
See photo. The envelope is in good condition for age and type of paper with tears on the corners and missing corner at top right as shown. The pattern and instruction sheets are as new in original factory folds. No names or other markings. From clean, smoke-free home.
Shipping
Generally sent the same day you pay. Unless you request otherwise, I will back this with one piece of box cardboard (to help prevent the Post Office from bending it), wrap it in plastic wrap (to help protect the item from moisture or torn packaging), then send inside a manila envelope when sent via First Class Mail with Delivery Confirmation. This is the cheapest postage option that includes both item protection and tracking. See the shipping page to give you an estimate on the cost of a First Class 4 package. I am delighted to combine postage and insurance costs if you purchase more than one item. The second item may travel for free or just a few cents more — so it’s worth taking a look at my other items before you complete your order.
