Just slap these on top of your geta and you should be good to go.

Hey, they're kegutsu waraji. For those days when the kuge need to defend themselves.
OR, for those days when a person just can make up their mind.

I'm thinking "kegutsu -- for that samurai taisho with a difference."

Noble Cousins! Greetings from Solveig! I'm thinking that if you didn't want visible quilting stitch on the exterior of the garment that you might tack the padding to the lining. Remember that there were pleanty of layers which are never intended to be seen much of. This means that these could easily have been padded and the padding held in place with geometric stitching patterns. Your Humble Servant Solveig Throndardottir Amateur Scholar

"Could have" is as speculative as anything else we've batted around.
Dammit, I would love to get some photos of the INSIDES of things. As it is, I made a museum guard think I was having a seizure - the Asian Art museum displayed an Edo period jinbaori, and I glimpsed what appeared to be a woolen applique'd kamon on it and it was the most interesting part of the freakin' garment and they had it facing the wall.

I know they do it more and more with European garments, but I haven't seen much in that way from Japan except for more modern linings of men's clothing. Remember that there were pleanty of layers which are never intended to be seen much of. This means that these could easily have been padded and the padding held in place with geometric stitching patterns. That, I believe is going to be my best option. Otherwise, I'm going to have a kosode that's going to be limited by more than just color and season. I'd hate to have it be July and go, 'Oh the green--- eee too hot to wear.'

Noble Cousin! Greetings from Solveig! Hmm, I wonder how wool fill would work for you? Aside from being biased against wool by a wool allergy, do you have any particular justification for using wool in this way? There does appear to be ample evidence for using plant fibers as filler, but where do we get justification for wool? Yes, hair was used in a variety of places, but the examples that I can think of include such things a brushes made from goat hair.

No justification whatsoever on the basis of authenticity, only the fact that the lady lives in a climate that gets significantly colder on a regular basis than Japan does.
Wool was the only thing that helped me survive a 28 degree night at Estrella. Wool socks, wool tunics, Icelandic wool blanket. I actually managed to sleep that night.

Inoue - thanks for posting this thread! I too live in the Twin Cities and have been pondering what to do for winter clothing. I suffered surprisingly little last year just wearing my regular kimono and layering what (little) I had. My tabi and sandals in the snow where actually not that bad, but I wouldn't want to spend an inordinate amount of time outdoors anyhoo. I would like to have some actual cold weather clothing though.
Today I passed up brocade at $7.99 per yard. *headdesk* I'm broke anyway.

I guess I'm the oddball. I'm up here in Northshield, too, but I don't have problems with the cold at all. Still go barefoot, in fact, at events. Drives Aesa nuts... (OK, sometimes I put on a dobuku)

Seeing as we're talking about padding and lining on here. I just bought two wonderful fabrics, which are definitely going to be kouichigi, and an old seal fur coat for a song. Just after purchasing said fur, with the intent of using it for kegutsu, I talked with Kitadate-May He Reign Peacefully for a Thousand Years-tenno and said it would be no good as those boots. So, does anyone know of fur being used for a lining, or as, say, a vest?

I decided to try for the micro-fleece lining this time around with two contrasting fabrics pieced together for better length and width as a dobuku. I pulled apart two kimono (I just can't let anything go to waste) that are far too small and since I don't wish to flash anyone while dancing its not as if the kimono were going to see any further wear and tear in their original form.
Figured, I have everything on hand to try it with the possiblity of actually getting it done before next winter. Silk, wool, and microfleece. I should stay nice and warm. It will be colorful regardless with five different fabrics scraps going into it all. ;D
