Description
Our Medium Weight Samue is a stylish and will last a lifetime. Samue (or Samu-e or Samu-gi) is traditionally the work jacket for a Buddhist monk or nun in Japan. And it looks great on anyone. Wear it to the meditation hall, the dojo, around town or working in the garden.
This is our medium weight 100% cotton samue, and comes in Black, Brown or Navy Blue. We use a soft brushed 8.5 oz cotton that is pre-shrunk, and will has a maximum shrinkage of 3-5%.
The fit is quite roomy. The samue closes with ties and you’ll find it has a zippered outside pocket. Our samue is machine washable. And like all of our clothing, it’s made right here in Seattle. Whatever your line of work happens to be, we think you’ll love doing it in this samue set.

Best samue I’ve found yet. Actually usable for work and practice. Comfortable, durable material. Elegantly made but clearly hard wearing. Even in Japan this type of samue are difficult to find. Lots of cheap flimsy synthetic fabric lounge wear marketed as samue all over the internet. Avoid these expensive trappings and buy from Still Sitting. Packaged with care, stitching is impeccable. Sizes run large, but this is mostly a concern with the pants, at my 34w 31inseam, I tried size “small” – they fit perfect 👌
Great in every way. Medium weight fabric wears and washes much better than the lightweight. After breaking in this samue I don’t think I’d buy lightweight again. This one is superior.
Beautifully constructed, beefy enough for cold Zendo mornings or for working outside. Be aware that it’s quite long, however. The XS on this 5’3” practitioner fits like a tunic rather than a jacket. ~ Myobun
Very well crafted of excellent materials. Attention to detail is apparent in all aspects. Very pleased with this wonderful samue.
Beautifully made. I expect it will hold up to many, many years of Dharma toil. One note–the fit is large. Though I’m typically a men’s medium (5’10”, 160 lbs), the small size fits perfectly.
