| ca. early Twentieth century 23" x 54 1/2", 58.5 cm x 138.5 cm A beautiful boro jacket. The body of the coat is of a rustic hand loomed, indigo dyed cotton, richly patched and mended in layers with similarly hand loomed cloth as the body. The white cotton sleeves--whose fabric is commercially produced--is patched with pale hand loomed fragments and exhibits some very eccentric and interesting stitched mendings. Note the brass clasps at the cuffs of the sleeves This is a handsome boro noragi, or work coat. Note especially the rich blue of the indigo, and the wonderfully streaky fading to the hand spun cotton fabric. | |||||||||||||||
