I received this as a stage costume for Japanese traditional dance, but since it's made for men, I didn't use it. It's a single-layered garment with a "bachi-eri" collar. In new Japanese dance, women wear this for male roles. The character "(Kotobuki - Longevity)" or "(Hide - Excellence)" is embroidered on the left chest. Please see the last image. Based on the measurements, men can also wear it. It has a beautiful navy blue base with light blue waves and vertical stripes on the hem and sleeves. It will look great on stage. Not only for Japanese traditional dance, but also good for karaoke contests. If the measurements fit, it doesn't matter if you are male or female. Length: 145cm - Men up to 172cm tall should be fine. Subtract 27cm from your height. Sleeve length: 50cm Yuki (from center back to wrist): 69cm Front width: 25cm Back width: 30cm
