What Is a Japanese Hanten?

A hanten (半纏) is a traditional Japanese padded jacket commonly worn during autumn and winter.

Unlike a modern fitted jacket, a hanten features a loose silhouette that allows it to be comfortably layered over everyday clothing.

Its padded construction helps retain body warmth, making it especially useful for relaxing at home during cold weather.

Hanten jackets are closely associated with nostalgic Japanese winter traditions, including spending time under a kotatsu (こたつ), drinking hot tea, and enjoying a peaceful evening indoors.

Today, hanten remain popular as practical winter loungewear that combines traditional Japanese aesthetics with everyday comfort.

Traditional Kurume Pongee Fabric

This hanten features Kurume pongee (久留米紬), a traditional woven textile associated with the Kurume region of Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan.

Its distinctive woven texture and understated patterns give the jacket a classic Japanese appearance.

The cotton fabric provides a comfortable feel, while the padded construction makes the jacket suitable for colder temperatures.
