These heavy woven coats were once used by Firemen in Japan. The heavy sashiko weave fabric being super absorbent serves as heat protection once the garment is soaked in cold water. The writing on the lapel usually states the fireman's position within the fire crew and the back insignia refers to what neighborhood the firehouse belongs to.
