Cream Myeongju Silk Korean Jeogori Jacket

Korean Traditional · 1980s · Korean

A traditional Korean jacket constructed from cream-colored myeongju silk with dramatically wide, flowing sleeves that extend horizontally when laid flat. The garment features a wrap-front closure secured by a burgundy silk tie belt that wraps around the waist. The jacket displays the characteristic Korean hanbok silhouette with its boxy, unstructured torso and voluminous sleeves that taper at the wrists. The construction appears to use traditional Korean tailoring techniques with minimal seaming and emphasis on the natural drape of the silk fabric. The collar is small and stands slightly upright, typical of Korean traditional dress construction.
