TONBO standard rayon-poly hakama (black, rayon-polyester)

A mixture of rayon and polyester makes the cloth look elegant. Hakama stays perfectly arranged and its pleats do not smooth out for much longer time. It is also easy to take care of and launder. Standard rayon-poly hakama is intended for people who look for good looking and comfortable hakama.

Hakama is made on the basis of traditional cut with 5 pleats on the front and 2 pleats on the back. Straps are quilted 7-8 times to preserve them from stretching and deforming. Side fly is strengthened to preserve it from tearing. In the aikido version koshita is stiffened with a flexible and soft pad - safe while falling. In the kendo/iaido version the pad is stiff and light. It has belt loops on its inside to improve keeping hakama in its desired position, they are also helpful with drying.

We offer our hakamas in several universal sizes with seperation for man and women (detailed size description is placed in the table underneath). While man and women both are the same height, their hakamas differ. Hakama for women is longer and tighter. Women tie up their hakamas on their waist, differently than man, who wear their hakamas down on the hips. Hakama for women has got a tighter koshita, fitted to women's slimmer body and a tighter front. It has shorter straps too. Women's cut also includes larger difference of circumferences between waist and hips.
