Hakama - Black

They are a mid-weight, durable, polyester/rayon blend with lengthened and reinforced himo (cords) plus an upgraded koshiita. These are easily equivalent to entry level Japanese brands.

Until now hakama sold in Australia were generally made in non-Japanese countries and the actual use of this training item was often poorly understood by manufacturers. These hakama have been co-developed by AKA and have 9 rows of stitching along the himo so they maintain their shape for longer and can be neatly tied after training. The himo have also been lengthened to better suit Australian sizes. The centrepiece of the koshita has been upgraded to maintain its shape for longer under constant ukemi.

Note: These hakama are made from a blend of 65% polyester and 35% rayon, they wash well and dry quickly but there is some small shrinkage. If you are concerned about the length of the garment and wash your hakama frequently we suggest you order the next size up.

How to measure the length
The size chart above is measured from the bottom of the front himo line of the hakama to the hem. You can choose the right length to suit your height and preference for where the hakama sits in relation to your ankles.

Sizes vary between hakama manufacturers, when ordering it is always best to use the centimetre measurement as your guide rather than the size number.
