The 100% cotton Hakama is made of the finest, heavy quality fabric (#11.000), indigo-dyed, normaly only used for handmade hakama. In addition, the thickness of this cotton quality greatly diminishes creasing. The folds are pronounced and not lacking in cloth, having a depth of approx. 7 cm each.
Tip:
New clothes lose colour while washing and in the training. This is a sign of a high qualitied clothes. Our clothes in Deluxe Quality are dyed with natural inidigo dyes according to the traditional japanese style.
The processing time for requests for changes of clothing such as: E.g. shortening the sleeves of the gi or sewing in the folds of the hakama,
takes about 1 to 2 weeks.
sizes:
If the right length for your size is not included,
we can also shorten the Hakama.
If you wish to do so, please order "Shorten hem (Hakama)".
Washing:
You can wash both Hakama and Gi by hand in water at a very low temperature.
Tip: In order to keep the folds of the Hakama after washing it, just follow this procedure.
Before washing, fold the Hakama (see how here). Put it in the tub and wash it by trampling on it like traditional winepresses do. Once it is done, carefully open the folds and hang it on a line to dry. Take it off before it is completely dry and fold it back, then press it with books and leave it to dry. It will then look like perfectly ironed!
