Samurai - Bolero

We could not have designed the Samurai Kilt without giving it it's very own dedicated top half!  Here we have the cute Samurai Bolero, a crop length cute jacket with straight cut arms and small upright collar.  Worn open for a casual look or use our 4" kilt pin to style your own closed look.  This can be worn with the full Samurai Kilt or your favourite denims and a white team, cool and classic!

Available in the four iconic Element colours and available in the dense tailoring fabric quality which has woven by us in our mill in Scotland.  Also with this design we have flipped some of the fabric panels to mirror what we do in the Samurai Kilt.  You will see the cool contrast and change of direction on the tartan features across the arms, body and collar, zoom and you will see!

We give you more, with access to the full range of options direct from our planet and people first design archives.  These are our bad-ass books of how to always wear your values and look amazing!  See full details below.
