An ink jet recording method including a first ink attachment step of discharging an ink composition containing a self-dispersing
pigment by an ink jet method to attach the ink composition to a fabric, a reaction liquid attachment step of discharging a reaction
liquid composition containing an aggregating agent that aggregates components of the ink composition by an ink jet method to attach the reaction
liquid composition to the fabric, and a second ink attachment step of discharging an ink composition containing a self-dispersing
pigment by an ink jet method to attach the ink composition to the fabric, in which the first ink attachment step, the reaction liquid attachment step, and the second ink attachment step are continuously performed in this order, a
time difference from when the ink composition is attached by the first ink attachment step to when the reaction
liquid composition is attached to a region to which the ink composition is attached by the reaction liquid attachment step is within 45 milliseconds, and a
time difference from when the reaction liquid composition is attached by the reaction liquid attachment step to when the ink composition is attached to a region to which the reaction liquid composition is attached by the second ink attachment step is within 45 milliseconds.
