Service details
Hakama Alteration - Koshiita height adjustment

  • The Koshiita should sit on top of the belt. (Seido Hakama are fitted to be worn with a common Judo type belt.)
  • High Koshiita (Iaido style): The Koshiita is higher than the front strap, to be worn with a Kakuobi/large Iai type belt.
  • Low Koshiita: The base of the Koshiita is about 3 cm lower than the front strap (which is done by moving the front strap slightly up). This allows to fold the front belt into the "Judo type belt" without getting a crumpled Hakama when tied.
  • Adjusting the height of the Koshiita according to your belt/style of wearing, helps that the pleats fall nicely and flat.

This product is a Seido original product designed by our team

Here are all the designs we offer and their meaning: 

  • The Seido embroidery is based on the Seido label attached to all Seido equipments.
  • The Aikido embroidery is based on a calligraphy found in the main dojo of Aikikai Hombu Dojo. It was created by Morihei Ueshiba O-Sensei when he was 80 years old, a period in his life when his calligraphy reached its peak. Note that the depth and extension of ideograms are a sign of an open mind.
  • The "Ki' embroidery is based on the same calligraphy as the "Aikido embroidery" but only contains the second kanji "Ki".
  • Judo - Gyoshotai (cursive font)
  • Karatedo - Gyoshotai (cursive font)
  • Kendo - Gyoshotai (cursive font)
  • Iaido - Gyoshotai (cursive font)
  • Jujutsu - Gyoshotai (cursive font)
  • Zanshin - Gyoshotai (cursive font) : Remaining mind, or lingering mind. 
  • Mushin - Gyoshotai (cursive font) : No mind (mental state), or mind without mind.
  • Heijoshin - Gyoshotai (cursive font) : Calm, imperturbable, relaxed heart/mind
  • Shingitai - Gyoshotai (cursive font) : The unification of mind, skills and body.
  • Takemusu Aiki - Gyoshotai (cursive font) : Aikido concept, the unity of martial techniques through the concept of Aiki.

Option "Name Embroidery":

Optionally, you can add your name as embroidery. It will be embroidered on the left of the bottom part (same high as the Seido label), with a font size of 2 cm by 2 cm.
Please note that due to our technical settings and to improve the overall balance, it is only possible to embroider either a first name, a last name or a word (1 word).

Product Information & Size Chart

  • Aikido Tetron Hakama - Custom Colors

    Made in Japan | White, Dark Grey, Light Grey, Purple, Brown, Gold

    Material: Tetron (65% polyester / 35% rayon)

    Shrinkage: 0% | Weight (size 26): 0.92 kg

    Shape: Traditional Aikido cut (flexible koshiita, straps with 7 lines of stitching)

    On this product page, we offer 6 custom colors.
    Purple is sometimes used as a substitute for Aizome Hakama, and it is not uncommon to see it on Aikido mats.
    Grey and light grey are colors that were used by Aikido founder Ueshiba Morihei and 2nd Doshu Ueshiba Kisshomaru. They are not widely used today, but some Dojo are still using it.
    White was used by the founder, Ueshiba Morihei, as well as by various teachers such as Noro Masamichi, or Hikitsuchi Michio. It is also a color used in various Budo such as Kendo, Jodo, etc.
    Brown is rarer, it is mostly seen in old Koryu schools.
    And finally, gold is very rare and mostly used for special occasions (demonstrations) and cosplay.

    This model is made of a composite fabric polyester/rayon, a combination that provides our hakama with durable quality. This synthetic model is solid, comfortable, and very easy to maintain thanks to a special iron treatment that keeps pleats perfect in any place. Tetron is the fabric most commonly used in the manufacture of Japanese Hakama for Kendo, Iaido, and Aikido. The fabric that we use is slightly thicker and stronger than the fabrics used for common Kendo or Iaido models. The uncompromising quality of our tetron hakama is illustrated by the 7 rows of stitching on the straps for extra robustness. The flexible Koshiita made of durable composite rubber is safe for any kind of ukemi.

    Easy to fold and to maintain, this model may be hand-washed and dried on a hanger (holding the folds using clothespins) without any risk of losing the pleats or damaging the fabric. The color does not fade even though a slight color transfer may occur due to frictions.
    For maximum comfort, the strap length is adjusted according to the size of the hakama.
    As all our Hakama, this model is fully made in Japan (fabric, cut, and stitching).
    For sizes smaller than 20, please contact us for custom orders.

    Please note that this model is made to order in about 4 weeks.

    Option (made to order): sewing of the inside pleats

    Though Synthetic Hakama are quite easy to maintain, we propose to sew the inner pleats for those who want to make the folding as easy as possible. The pleats are sewn on the inside, which makes them completely invisible when worn. The result however is that the pleats are better kept, and the "puffed out" aspect of the hakama will be reduced.

    My farourite hakama

    Astonishing product.
    I choose the dark grey with wine embroidery and got exactly what I wanted. At stages it blends perfectly amongst the sea of dark blue and black hakama keeping it's style. Great colour.
    As for the style it's perfectly in line with Seido's solid craftmanship tradition. I own three Seido hakama (the oldest dating almost 10 years ago) and they all look as if they just left the store.
    Thank you once more for your excellent work.

    Best customer service

    I recently contacted Seido to ask if they could make me a grey hakama with their Semi-Heavy Weight Polyester 'Cashmere Touch' material as it was not part of their product line. I really love Seido's 'Cashmere Touch' material and was hoping to get a grey one to go with the blue one I already had. I thought that I would get a simple yes or no answer but was surprised to get a detailed email response for Jordy Delage. He said that they might have some grey Tetron material in the wharehouse from a previous time and would check. He responded that they indeed had some grey Tetron in the warehouse and that after they shipped it to him I could order one as a special order. Although it was not my desired fabric I ordered one and it arrived today. It is a very nice hakama overall. It is lighter in weight but still feels nice and comfortable. From start to finish Jordy and the Seido team have been a very good at delivering exceptional customer service and I will continue to be their loyal customer. Thank you Jordy and the Seido team!
