Command Authority with the Iconic Blue & White of the Wolves of Mibu!

The Shinsengumi Haori, also known as Haori Sodetsukibaori (Samurai Police Jacket), is an iconic garment historically worn by the Shinsengumi—a renowned special police force established by the Bakufu (Military Government) during Japan’s tumultuous Bakumatsu era (1863–1869). Comprised primarily of ronin (masterless samurai), the Shinsengumi were tasked with protecting Tokugawa interests and maintaining order during a time of national upheaval and rapid modernization.

This distinctive blue-and-white jacket became synonymous with authority and courage, earning the Shinsengumi their fierce nickname, the “Wolves of Mibu.” Originally crafted from lightweight hemp linen (kuzu fiber), the Shinsengumi quickly transitioned to a more durable cotton fabric due to practicality and increased comfort. Characteristically designed with alternating blue and white patterns, this recognizable haori served as a visual marker distinguishing members of this elite policing force from other samurai and civilians alike.

At Iron Mountain Armory, our skilled seamstress meticulously crafts each Shinsengumi Haori to reflect the historical authenticity and attention to detail found in original Bakumatsu-era garments. While the classic blue and white design remains the most recognized, you can customize your haori colors to represent your personal style or specific reenactment needs.

These distinctive jackets can be worn open, traditionally secured using odoshi ties through loops along the lapels. The reversible design offers additional versatility, allowing wearers to easily switch between different color presentations for varied occasions.

Perfectly suited for martial arts practitioners, historical reenactors, cosplayers, LARP enthusiasts, or anyone looking to embody the bold spirit of the samurai police, the Shinsengumi Haori combines authenticity, comfort, and durability.

Iron Mountain Armory’s commitment to historical accuracy and craftsmanship ensures each Shinsengumi Haori is meticulously crafted, capturing the spirit and tradition of the original samurai police garments. Our clothing and accessories have gained international recognition, featured prominently in historical documentaries and films, including the Netflix and Smithsonian Channel docudrama, “Age of Samurai: Battle for Japan.”

Key Features & Benefits:

  • Iconic Shinsengumi Design: Recognizable blue and white pattern of the Wolves of Mibu.
  • Quality Craftsmanship: Made with historically authentic cotton fabric, durable and comfortable.
  • Fully Customizable: Options available for sizing, colors, materials, and closures.
  • Versatile Wear: Ideal for martial arts training, historical reenactment, cosplay, and ceremonial occasions.
  • Reversible Option: Two-color versatility enhances usability for multiple occasions.

Ordering Tips: Provide precise measurements for optimal fitting. Our experienced seamstress may make slight adjustments to ensure an authentic, traditional fit.

Product Crafting Time: Please allow our dedicated seamstress at Iron Mountain Armory an average of 5 to 8 days to process and meticulously craft your Shinsengumi Haori. This timeframe covers careful order processing and the skilled handcrafting of your garment.
