The Signature Fabric

ART ON ART: BURNOUT VELVET

Our signature fabric holds two artworks in one cloth. Through the burnout process, selected areas of plush velvet are reduced to a lighter, semi-sheer layer beneath, so the pile and the translucence sit side by side, trading depth, contrast, and movement across the same design.

Held to the light, the sheer sections reveal a second composition inside the first: one artwork worn against the body, another that only appears when the sun finds it.

THE MAKER

IT STARTS WITH THE GARMENT

A STORY BUILT FROM FABRIC

Kimono Cowboys began when Nick stopped looking for the piece he wanted and made it instead. Every design he builds pulls from a world of textiles he has spent years assembling, some drawn at his own table, some found nowhere else.

THE ART OF CREATION

What matters on the finished piece is never where a cloth came from. It’s what he made of it.

MADE WITH INTENTION

The lookbook

Styled in the wild

A gallery of kimonos as they're meant to be worn lived in, moved in, and made your own.

ONE WORLD OF CLOTH

Every textile in a Kimono Cowboys piece, from the signature burnout velvet to the trim, is chosen by one eye and built into one design. Nothing here was picked from a catalog to fill a rack.

ONE EYE

Every fabric, trim, and buckle passes one person's judgment. If it doesn't stop him, it doesn't get cut.

MADE BY HAND

Cut, sewn, and finished by hand in California by our seamstresses, Anna and Blanca. Seams bound, patterns matched, hems checked twice.

MADE IN LIMITED QUANTITIES

Every piece is made in limited numbers, because hands can only make so many. The list hears what's next before anyone.
