Design Philosophy: Embracing Imperfection
侘寂(侘び寂び Wabi-sabi)
At JINZA Oriental, we embrace the philosophy of wabi-sabi in designing our Tang Suit Designs. This Japanese concept celebrates the inherent beauty of simplicity and naturalness in design, finding elegance in the 'imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete'. Our approach to creating each Tang Suit reflects this appreciation for authenticity and comfort, infusing each piece with a unique aesthetic that honors the raw and natural essence of beauty.

Traditional Skirt v.s. Slim Pants?
Pattern Making & Sketch
Tailored to your specific measurements and design preferences, we craft a unique pattern for your custom Tang Suit. This bespoke blueprint allows for personalized fitting options, whether you prefer a comfortable loose fit or a sleek modern slim fit. Notably, 95% of grooms opt for slim-fitted pants, favoring them over the traditional long skirt for a contemporary twist.

Initial Fitting
Mock-Up Fitting
For the first fitting, we create a mock-up of your Tang Suit using a basic fabric, commonly referred to as a "Muslin Fitting." This crucial step allows us to make necessary adjustments in both fit and style, ensuring your suit is tailored to your ideal preferences. This process is essential for perfecting the fit before we proceed with the intricate embroidery and final construction of your Tang Suit.

Details. Details, details
Hand Embroidery and Detailing
This stage brings your Tang Suit to life with exquisite hand embroidery and detailed embellishments. It's here that the suit truly starts to reflect the cultural and personal elements envisioned during the design phase. Enhance your suit with matching Pankou that complements your partner's attire, or personalize it further by adding a family crest or meaningful symbols to the lining for a touch of heritage and uniqueness.
