Great hakama |

I’ve been wearing this #10,000 Shoaizome hakama for a month now. It was a super deal in the Sale Outlet section because it was a size 30 (6’6”-6’8”), as I am 5’8” I had to trim 4.5” and re-hem by hand. Fits great, feels great, I don’t get my feet caught as I did with my tetron hakama because it holds its shape better during practice and even though it is heavier it feels cooler. Care instructions say don’t but I machine-washed and dried it in boiling water twice hoping it would shrink. I do not recommend you do this but it did shrink 1”, it also stained my dryer. It washed a lot of the extra dye off but it still retained its color and only bleeds a little onto my gi now. The himo is wider and more padded so it is easier to push through my obi without it rolling up. I recommend this hakama to anyone, but I also wear a double weave gi in Phoenix summers. I will by another #10,000 hakama from e-bogu when this one wears out. Thank you e-bogu, great service and product as always.
