Aside from the black version, the overgarment also comes in charcoal gray, offering different choices to complement your preferred color style.
For those looking for a much lighter in color-theme and a softer material, Trove also offers a fluffy “boa” haori, which the company calls “bear.”
While this new line of clothing is heavily inspired by the old-generation samurai aesthetic, it doesn’t feel at all restrictive to that particular era of fashion. In fact, some of the dress can even be matched with modern clothing items, like outwear or sneakers.
Anyone who would like to place their pre-orders for the new Trove line of clothing can do so now on their official Japanese website. Price for the juban shirts start at 12,960 yen (US$115) while the haori’s price start at 32,400 yen ($286).
