HICKORY DENIM JINBEI

The Hickory Denim Jinbei　is a modern approach. Traditional jinbei are made from hemp or cotton, and are typically dyed a solid colour – such as indigo, blue or green – with either a muted or nonexistent pattern. Modern jinbei frequently feature prints ranging from simple textures to complicated and colourful floral patterns. Ladies’ jinbei tend to be more brightly coloured, and often feature prints of popular culture characters and motifs. .

Jimbe/Jinbei* The Original is “Jinbaori” / “soldier’s battle surcoat” as Japan’s　original military uniformfrom the Shoku-Ho Era, it was worn by Sengoku warlords for protection against the cold in the battlefield. The coat was worn on top of the armor.The samurai’s battle surcoat was made with leather or thick cloth, But the soldier’s battle surcoat is made from cotton so that they can move quickly. You can see it is very comfortable to wear.（陣・Jim,Jin – Camp 兵・hei,bei -Solder 羽織・Haori-short coat). A high-ranking samurai would have worn a leather jinbaori.

甚兵衛は戦国時代の陣羽織が基になったと言われます。陣羽織とは戦の際に羽織る袖なしの羽織です。陣羽織は武士や、農民である兵士が胴着などの上に着用していました。武士の陣羽織は革や厚い布地で作られていましたが、兵士の陣羽織は、すばやく動けるように木綿などで作られており、”兵士の陣羽織”と言う意味で「陣兵羽織」と呼ばれました。その後羽織が民間にも広まり、陣兵羽織をもじって「甚平羽織」に、 更に羽織を省略して「甚平」になったようです。ようするに日本オリジナルの軍服ということになりますね。
