Description
Our Lightweight Samue Jacket is a stylish jacket that will last a lifetime. Samue (or Samu-e or Samu-gi) is traditionally the work jacket for a Buddhist monk or nun in Japan. And it looks great on anyone. Wear it to the meditation hall, the dojo, around town or working in the garden. We tailor these black jackets from comfortable 6.5 oz cotton twill. The samue closes with ties and you’ll find it has a zippered outside pocket and a hidden inside pocket. Our samue is pre-shrunk, so it’s machine washable. And like all of our clothing, it’s made right here in Seattle.
Whatever your line of work happens to be, we think you’ll love doing it in this jacket.

I purchased the lightweight Samue jacket and pants six months ago (May 2020). They are working out very well for me and even exceeded my expectations! They are a wonderful combination of being light, comfy soft, in a solid durable fabric and finish.

I specifically wanted a lighter weight samue because I live in the desert SW and layering heavy cloth garments is not super fun during the summer. I’ve found this samue great for morning sitting, especially when we’re in places without climate control. The fabric is fairly light and breathes well. After probably 10 washings, the fabric has retained its color really well, but also softened fairly well too.
The ties are nicely done as well and allow for generous tailoring to whatever gut level you’re working with.
