Stay Warm with Samurai Elegance and Comfort!
The Hanten is a traditional, reversible, short padded Japanese winter coat that was historically worn by Daimyo, Samurai, and commoners alike. Originally designed for practical warmth, these lightweight coats were favored by samurai during village patrols, campfire gatherings, and military campaigns, ensuring comfort even during harsh winters.
Throughout the centuries, the versatile and reversible design of the Hanten made it both practical and fashionable. With two distinct color options—one on each side—samurai could easily match the coat to different kimonos or use one side for sunny weather and the other for rainy conditions, keeping one side consistently clean and presentable. This thoughtful design ensured functionality and adaptability for various occasions, formal or casual.
Today, the Hanten continues to be cherished by modern warriors, historical reenactors, martial artists, and anyone seeking comfortable yet stylish traditional wear. Whether enjoying time around a campfire, relaxing at home, or strolling around town, these coats offer unmatched warmth, comfort, and authentic Japanese style.
Staying true to historical craftsmanship, Iron Mountain Armory’s Hanten is primarily constructed from robust linen fabric, renowned for its strength and durability. For Daimyo or Samurai who wish to showcase their higher status, we offer the option to upgrade to luxurious art silk. Each coat is meticulously handmade by our skilled seamstress, who honors traditional methods to create a garment tailored uniquely to your preferences. Personalize your Hanten with custom colors, optional embroidered mon (symbol) or name on both inside and outside, and the practical addition of pockets.
This unisex garment is thoughtfully designed to comfortably fit any body type, reaching down to the upper hips, and is traditionally worn open at the front, not wrapped like a kimono.
Our authentic samurai clothing and accessories have been prominently featured in renowned films and documentaries, including Netflix and Smithsonian Channel’s acclaimed “Age of Samurai: Battle for Japan,” further attesting to their quality and authenticity.
