Iaido/Kendo Striped Tetron Hakama
Made in Japan | 9 designs/colors
Material: Tetron (65% polyester / 35% rayon)
Shrinkage: 0% | Weight (size 26): 0.92 kg
Shape: Traditional Kendo/Iaido cut (hard koshiita, straps with 4 lines of stitching, Koshiita hera)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 perfectly 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 4 rows of stitching on the straps for extra robustness. The hard high quality plastic Koshiita (back plate) and the koshiita hera (small belt plate) that is directly sewn into the structure of the back plate sewing.
Striped Hakama (shima Hakama) are very common in Japan, in tea ceremonies (Sado), Iaido, some Koryu, some Aikido groups and of course as traditional clothing (for weddings and other ceremonies). In Iaido, it is mostly used for demonstrations. It is, however, not suitable for Kendo practice.
This Hakama is also available as custom workshop for practitioners who need longer straps, a larger cut, or desire some other custom options we offer. All those customs options are available below.
This model is particularly recommended to Budoka valuing ancient tradition as it is made by the oldest workshop (100+ years old) still producing traditional Budo Hakama.Easy to fold and to maintain, this model may be hand-washed and dried on a hanger (holding the folds using clothespins) without 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 size smaller than 22, please contact us for custom order.This Hakama is available with these colors/patterns (see pictures for more details)

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 the hakama will be reduced.Kendo/Iaido Tetron Hakama - Size Chart Your height Size Hakama Length Strap Length 150 cm ~ 155 cm 22 83 cm Front strap: 330 cm
