The Textile Museum in Washington DC has valuable information on caring for textiles . Information I've gathered information from many sources over the years. The bale had many kinds of clothing in it- mostly kimono, but also some haori jackets, and michiyuki. Obi, the decorative belts which are traditionally tied in intricate knots, are harder to come by. You can sometimes find obi in antique stores sold as table runners, or made into centers for folding screens.
Kimono come in many kinds.
Haori jackets are kimono-shaped but shorter. I also found a kesa at an antique store. I asked for help in identifying the age of the kimono from my bale buy. Kimonos were and are often re-lined after cleaning because different types of silk shrink at different rates. A lining might be 30 years old while the actual kimono might be much older.
