Description
Our Medium Weight 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. This is our medium weight 100% cotton jacket, and comes in Black, Brown or Navy Blue. The fit is quite roomy. 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.

Best samue I’ve found yet. Actually usable for work and practice. Comfortable, durable material. Elegantly made but clearly hard wearing. Even in Japan this type of samue are difficult to find. Lots of cheap flimsy synthetic fabric lounge wear marketed as samue all over the internet. Avoid these expensive trappings and buy from Still Sitting. Packaged with care, stitching is impeccable. Sizes run large, but this is mostly a concern with the pants, at my 34w 31inseam, I tried size “small” – they fit perfect 👌
Excellent construction quality and fit as described in sizing chart was excellent. The fabric was heavier than what I would consider as “medium” weight. For me it felt closer to heavy weight. However, I bought this item to wear inside the zendo, not outside working. If I was outside working in cooler to cold weather, it would be perfect with a long sleeve t-shirt underneath. I ordered the lightweight, which should be better for indoors in the zendo, especially during warmer weather. They arrive soon and I will review after wearing.
Well constructed, perfect fit, great fabric. Very impressed!
Excellent quality, the material is good and the stiches are very tight and well done. Thank You!
