This is fabric from a men's kimono that has been unstitched. It's not soft to the touch, but rather has a crisp feel with a slight sheen. I unstitched, hand-washed, and ironed it for the listing. There is a stain that won't come out even after washing (photo 6️⃣). I discovered a repair when I unstitched it (back photo 3️⃣, front photo 4️⃣). There are several weaving flaws (?), as shown in photo 5️⃣. Please understand and consider purchasing.
