The black standard Hakama is made from 100% cotton. Unlike synthetic fabric, cotton does not charge as much electrically and it is particularly gentle on the skin. It also has a great sweat absorbency. The fabric is thinner and lighter than the black cotton Hakama Deluxe.
Please note:
- Please measure your legs before purchase. When wearing the Hakama, the lower edge should rest at the ankle and the upper edge of the abdominal belt should lie a few centemeters above the belly button. The length of the Hakama can thus be a bit longer than this distance.
- The pre-treated cotton fabric is still very smooth at first. It will therefore be softer after washing.
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.
Available sizes:
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!
