ETA: This is being decided by auction. The auction begins now. It will conclude on Friday, April 6, at 10:00 AM Pacific Time. Please get your bids in by then. This post has been updated with bidding links below the photos.
Sherwood Smith, who got to try some of them on, offers this testimonial (from memory): "The photos don't do justice to how beautiful they are. The fabrics are so silky and luxurious!"
To help fund my trip, I am selling some beautiful haori (kimono jackets) I bought in Japan. They can be worn with a kimono, or over pants or a skirt or dress.
Detailed photos below cut. $50 each unless otherwise noted. You pay postage, probably $5-$10. I will ship internationally, but shipping costs may be quite high.
Please comment to say which you would like. Ideally, note your first preference, second preference, and third preference. Please say so if you'd like more than one.
I will try to sort it out fairly so everyone gets one they want. If necessary, I may put some up for auction.
With two exceptions (noted with description), they are 30 inches long and 22 inches in shoulder width. Cloth is probably synthetic unless otherwise stated, but really nice, luxurious-feeling synthetic.
1. Orange Cross

2. Black with metallic designs on back, orange flower interior.

3. Purple geometric, crane interior
PULLED. I forgot to reserve one for my mom. Oops.
4. Long, pine trees. This one is longer than the rest: 3 feet in length, 2 feet across the shoulders.
SOLD. I promised Sherwood first pick of the jackets. She looks fantastic in it.
5. Golden-beige, watercolor flowers. Not sure the photos really do this one justice. It's exquisite. The flowers look painted in watercolor.

6. Green with little flowers. The color got washed out in the photo - it's a nice medium-green.
Click here to bid!
7. Black with red flowers and green leaves. The colors got washed out here too. The flowers are red shading to orange, and the interior is done in delicate pastel shading.
Click here to bid!
8. Green leaves. Colors washed out. The leaves are hunter green, medium green, and light green.
Click here to bid!
9. Black with landscape. Amazing interior. I'm pricing this one a bit higher, at $60. If no one wants it, I'll keep it.
Click here to bid!
10. Black with embossed seals, chrysanthemum interior.
Click here to bid!
11. Brown and colored feather and heart pattern; person interior. Really cool design, and I'm pretty sure it's silk. $60 for being just that nice.
Click here to bid!
12. Black with cut-outs. This unusual jacket has small but elaborate cut-outs on front and back, showing a blue and red cloth interior.
Click here to bid!
13. Damaged, extra-long. Black with rope interior and metallic exterior. 3 feet long, wide shoulders. This otherwise beautiful jacket has a small moth-eaten hole at the left front bottom, which I somehow missed or I wouldn't have bought it. If you know how to patch or darn, this is a great deal. The interior has gold dusting in the center of the designs. $25.

14. Black with metallic abstract mountains and clouds.

$50 each unless otherwise noted. You pay postage, probably $5-$10. I will ship internationally, but shipping costs may be quite high.

The only reason I'm not keeping the gold one for myself is that I don't look good in that color.

Sorting offers turned out to be too complicated, so I am letting the invisible hand of the market decide via auction.

I'd like one of the following:
2, 7, 12, 14
if you think they would fit up to a size 12? It's for a gift, I'm not picky about which of the four options I'd end up with, size is more important.

I think that's fine; they're pretty roomy. But if anyone who knows sizes better than me would like to chime in, please do so.

I'm interested in 10, 7, 6, in that order (although I'd be happy with any of the three). I'm only planning on buying one of them.
Thank you for this, and for trying to sort this out fairly!
