Technically kimono means "thing to wear" in Japanese, but it's more than that.

嚴格來說，和服在日語中的意思是 "穿的東西"，但它不僅僅是這樣。

There are a lot of different styles of kimono.

和服有很多不同的款式。

Of course you have the very long one, but it can be short like a kimono jacket like the one I'm wearing here.

當然你有很長的，但也可以像我這裡穿的和服外套一樣短。

It can also refer to the undergarments and many other things.

也可以指內衣等很多東西。

So I'll tell you a little bit about the variations you might find on my website and anywhere else, if you're shopping for a vintage kimono.

是以，我將告訴你一點關於你可能在我的網站和其他任何地方找到的變化，如果你正在購買一件復古和服。

But the first thing you should know is that they're pretty much all unique.

但首先你要知道的是，他們幾乎都是獨一無二的。

They're not exactly one-of-a-kind because they do make them in small lots of 10 to 20 pieces.

它們不完全是獨一無二的，因為它們確實是以10到20件的小批量製作的。

But in 15 years I've only seen the same one twice, so we pretty much considered them one of a kind.

但15年來，我只見過兩次相同的，所以我們幾乎認為它們是同類。

Aside from the fact that they're made in small batches, what makes them unique?

除了它們是小批量生產的事實之外，它們的獨特之處在於什麼？

Well, they're all hand-sewn for the most part, at least until the 1970s, all hand-sewn, all custom-made for the women that originally commissioned it.

嗯，它們大部分都是手工縫製的，至少在70年代之前，都是手工縫製的，都是為最初委託的女人定製的。

That includes her age, her status...Is she married?

包括她的年齡、她的身份......她結婚了嗎？

What's the occasion she was going to wear it to?

她要穿去什麼場合？

What season was it made for?

它是什麼季節做的？

What were her favorite flowers?

她最喜歡的花是什麼？

Maybe it would be designed to include those.

也許它會被設計成包括這些。

So our most popular style however is the haori jacket.

所以我們最受歡迎的款式不過是哈衣。

This is a casual jacket for women although it can also be quite formal.

這是一款適合女性的休閒外套，雖然它也可以很正式。

So it does not cross in front like a kimono does.

所以它不像和服那樣在前面交叉。

It's meant to lay open so you can see the kimono you're wearing underneath, although I rarely wear a kimono underneath.

它是要躺開的，所以你可以看到你下面穿的和服，雖然我很少在下面穿和服。

I wear it casually.

我穿得很隨意。

So don't try to belt it because there isn't the extra piece in front that you'll find with the regular kimono.

所以不要試圖去繫腰帶，因為前面沒有普通和服那樣多出的那一塊。

The length of the sleeves and of the garment itself will vary based on the occasion it was originally created for.

袖子的長度和服裝本身的長度會根據最初創作的場合而有所不同。

The one I'm wearing here you see has very long sleeves compared to this one more casual.

我這裡穿的那件你看有很長的袖子，相比之下這件更休閒。

So now let's take a look at the different styles of kimono, kind of arranged by length.

那麼現在我們來看看不同款式的和服，算是按長度排列。

First we have this blue uchikake kimono, which is an over-kimono for a wedding.

首先是這件藍色的內搭和服，這是一件婚禮上的套裙。

This is very long and not belted, just used for photos.

這個很長，沒有繫腰帶，只是用來拍照的。

Here's another version, also very long, you'll notice the big wide padding at the bottom drags behind you like a train.

這是另一個版本，也是非常長，你會發現底部的大寬幅填充物像火車一樣拖在你身後。

Here's another version of a wedding kimono, but it's an under kimono.

這是另一個版本的婚禮和服，但它是一件下裝和服。

It's white and it is a little a bit shorter and can be belted.

它是白色的，它有點短，可以繫腰帶。

Then we have another formal kimono, a furisode kimono with long sleeves, also a longer length but it also can be belted with the length brought up at the waist.

然後我們還有一件正式的和服，是長袖的furisode和服，也是比較長的長度，但也可以繫上腰帶，腰部的長度帶起來。

Then here's another fuchsia kimono with an asymmetrical design at the hem.

然後這裡又是一件紫紅色的和服，下襬處採用了不對稱的設計。

You can tell it's a little bit shorter than the previous ones as well.

可以看出它也比之前的短了一點。

Next we have an underkimono. Look how short that is. Again, belted comes way up because it's not to show.

接下來是內衣。你看這多短。同樣的，腰帶也是這樣來的，因為它是不需要露出來的。

The next set of pictures are for men.

下一組圖片是給男人看的。

Men's kimonos even though they're modeled by a woman.

男人的和服雖然是女人做的模特。

This is a man's underkimono you can see the length just barely goes to her ankles.

這是一件男人的內衣，你可以看到長度剛好到她的腳踝。

Here's a man's formal over kimono. Also fairly short.

這是一件男士的正裝過和服。也挺短的。

Men do not have the extra length that women do on theirs.

男人沒有女人身上多餘的長度。

Next we have two of the men's jackets. Sometimes they're plain, sometimes they're quite elaborate.

接下來我們有兩件男式夾克。有時是樸素的，有時是相當精緻的。

But the length again is longer than the women's jackets.

但長度又比女裝外套長。

Keep in mind that the jackets don't close in the front.

請記住，夾克衫的前部並沒有關閉。

She wears it open to see the kimono underneath.

她把它穿開，可以看到下面的和服。

This is quite a long one.

這是相當長的一個。

The longer ones tend to be more formal or older from the 40s and 50s.

較長的往往是四五十歲的人，比較正式或較老。

Next this orange one is a little bit shorter and the pink one a little bit shorter still.

接下來這個橙色的有點短，粉色的還是有點短。

Now I'm showing the pink one belted even though these are not made to be belted.

現在我給大家看的是粉色的那件繫腰帶的，儘管這些衣服不是為了繫腰帶而做的。

If you're very very small you can get away with belting it.

如果你是非常非常小的人，你可以擺脫皮帶。

Then we're looking at other jacket styles.

那麼我們在看看其他的外套款式。

This orange one is called a michiyuki, with a square neck.

這個橙色的叫michiyuki，脖子是方形的。

Michiyuki means "to go out into the street".

Michiyuki的意思是 "到街上去"。

This next blue one is a dochugi jacket which has a crossover in the front.

接下來這件藍色的是一件dochugi外套，它的前面有一個交叉點。

You tie with ties or a little frog. And again, this is worn on top of the kimono.

你用領帶或小青蛙綁起來。再來，這是穿在和服上面的。

Next we have, shown from the back, a woman's hanten jacket.

接下來我們從背面看，是一件女式漢騰夾克。

Hanten are usually made from cotton or wool and are considered more like peasant jackets, because you notice the tapered sleeves, they're more like work jackets.

漢騰通常是用棉或羊毛製成的，被認為更像農民夾克，因為你注意到了錐形的袖子，它們更像工作夾克。

Next, this yellow gold one is called a "neneko", and is very interesting in that nene means "sleep".

接下來，這個黃金的叫 "涅子"，非常有意思，涅子的意思是 "睡覺"。

And these were designed for young mothers to carry their babies on their backs under the jacket, which is why you'll find these to be the largest jackets available.

而這些都是為年輕媽媽設計的，在外套下可以揹著寶寶，這也是為什麼你會發現這些是最大的外套。

And finally a happi coat which is usually a cotton festival jacket, and tends to be a smaller size.

最後是一件Happi大衣，它通常是一件棉質的節日外套，而且尺寸往往比較小。

So that'll give you some idea about the most common styles of kimono, but there's so much more.

那麼，這就可以讓你對最常見的和服款式有一定的瞭解，但還有很多。

There's the hakama pants, there's the "juban" under kimono, there's the tabi socks, the geta shoes, the shawls....

有袴褲，有和服下的 "朱班"，有塔比襪，有geta鞋，有披肩......。

So much much more, but those are a topic for another video.

還有很多很多，但這些是另一個視頻的話題。

Thanks for watching!

謝謝你的觀看!
