Japanese Vintage Yukata – Navy Dot Pattern, Men's Cotton Kimono, Petite Size, Hand-Sewn
A classic and understated vintage men's yukata featuring a fine, textured dot pattern reminiscent of traditional shibori (tie-dye) technique, in navy and white — a timeless design with subtle visual depth.
The yukata is made from lightweight 100% cotton, patterned with delicate rows of small white dots and diamond motifs against a deep navy ground, creating a soft, textured, almost woven-in visual effect. Please note this yukata does not have a miyatsuguchi (side seam opening), a construction detail indicating a men's kimono. The understated, sophisticated pattern makes it a versatile choice for casual summer wear.
Please note this yukata runs on the smaller/petite side — please check measurements carefully before purchasing. It would suit a petite or shorter-statured man, or a teen.
