Kappōgi Apron with Tenugui Towel

A Versatile Apron – Can Be Worn as a Kappogi or a Haori

The Kappogi retains the charm of traditional Japanese aprons while being designed for modern lifestyles. This simple yet stylish, versatile apron can be worn as a practical companion for household chores or quickly thrown on as a chic outer layer for outings. It adapts to various situations, making it a must-have for both everyday tasks and special moments.

Available in Five Muted Colors for Easy Pairing

Available in Five Muted Colors – Navy, Off-White, Black, Gray, and Khaki

These five understated colors are designed to be easy to incorporate into your daily wardrobe. Their subtle tones make this apron perfect for any occasion, whether you’re dressing casually or aiming for a more polished look.

Please Note: Due to the dyeing process, there may be slight variations in color between individual products.

Example: Color variation, such as in khaki, may occur. Please understand and accept this natural difference.

A Convenient Design that Adapts to Your Everyday Life

The neck tie can be easily adjusted even after it’s tied. Its simple design makes it easy to wear and take off, with no hassle, perfect for busy mornings. The round neckline pairs well with any outfit, offering versatility that complements a variety of collars.

The sleeves are designed for ease of movement with a traditional "mojiri-sleeve" style, commonly seen in garments worn by craftsmen, such as half-coats. To prevent the sleeves from falling during water-based tasks, the cuffs are gathered with elastic. Whether you're cooking or cleaning, this design ensures freedom of movement for all your household chores.

The pockets feature a sashiko fabric loop, perfect for hanging a hand towel or similar items. This thoughtful design ensures that a hand towel, which proves useful for tasks like cooking or laundry, is always within reach.

There are pockets on both sides, perfectly sized to hold your smartphone, keys, notes, or wallet. With its simple smock-like shape, this design allows you to head out for a quick errand or shopping without needing to change.

Made with natural materials suited to Japan's climate

The fabric used is a lightweight linen-cotton canvas that becomes softer and more beautifully toned with use. It offers excellent warmth retention and breathability, making it an ideal natural material for Japan’s four-season climate. To keep you cool even in hot kitchens, we selected a fabric with a slightly higher linen content.

Comes with a convenient tenugui hand towel

Each KAPPOGI comes with a matching tenugui hand towel from Kyoya Dye Works.

• Indigo (Tenugui - Vermilion Red)
• Black (Tenugui - Vermilion Red)
• Natural (Tenugui - Kyoya Indigo)
• Khaki (Tenugui - Kyoya Indigo)

Cotton-Linen Blend Fabric (52% Cotton, 48% Linen)

To ensure your product lasts as long as possible, please follow these care tips:

- Prevent Color Transfer: Wash separately at first and hang dry immediately after washing.
- Use Mild Detergent: Opt for a neutral detergent and avoid using bleach.
- Avoid Dryers: Do not use a tumble dryer, as it may cause shrinkage.
