Materials of Kimono

 

    Generally, kimonos are made from silk. It is because silk has good capacity of making clothes breathe well. And kimonos made from silk have a power of controlling moisture so we can stay comfortable both in a hot day and in a cold day. But silk kimonos are difficult to maintain. If you make some mistakes when you care kimonos, it will become useless even if it was only a little mistake.

    There are some kimonos made from cotton. Cotton kimono’s feature is price and simplicity of caring. We can wash them with washing machine. And they breathe very well.

    And the last is polyester kimono. Their biggest advantage is that we can clean them by laundry very easily. In days gone by, they are said cheap-looking, uncomfortable from static electricity, but now technique improved and polyester kimono got popularity.
