EdotenJapanese Samurai Hakama Uniform NV-BK L

I am part of a full contact reenactment organization called "Way of The Sword" or WoTS for short. One of the things we aim for is to have high 'garb' standards where possible, yet be able to fight in what we wear.At first glance, everything looks good. When I took it out of the plastic casing, it felt light. I wanted to think that it was made of cheaper material, but it seemed to be well made. I am going to say this is a positive, because fighting in Florida is a hot affair, and the lighter material will be quite nice, especially when I am wearing my armor.The kimono is a good length and the navy pattern is pretty classy. I found what appeared to be an obi (waist belt) in the sleeve, after seeing how short it was, I am feeling that it is not an obi, but is used to tie the sleeves back for when work, ceremony or swordplay is conducted. I have heard that kimono rip rather easily in combat from other fighters, but I have also heard that if you keep it not as tightly tucked in, it will not rip at the armpit area. I will be fighting in it soon, so we shall see! I am a big guy. Amply rotund is a better description. The XL fits across my back and shoulders well enough, and is comfortable. The kimono fits around my girth, but the opening it at my upper chest instead of at my neck, yet it feels nice and looks good. This is motivation to lose weight! I am a hawt butterball at 5'10" and weigh 285.The hakama is light and is a skirt type. My older hakama are heavy duty pants-type and feel better, but the hakama that came with this set looks nice and feels good. The back-plate is not as large, but feels firm. The back ties fit around my girth, another feat of awesomeness attributed to the XL. The front ties easily wrap around my frame and back to the front again with plenty of room to tie off and make a nice knot. I feel strangely free and naked using a skirt type of hakama, but I think it will help keep the bits cool, so that is a huge plus, yet I will be wearing shorts underneath (sp when I roll or am thrown, I don't give people an undue surprise).Altogether, no fat-man is going to look the best in hakama and kimono, but this I feel looks quite nice. I just hope it stands up to some full contact fighting, and the rigors of armor. If can remember, I will edit this and give you a fighting review. I have a couple of events and some practice coming up very shortly, so we shall see. If this works out, it could be a viable option for great garb for our Japanese chapters.EDIT: I have conducted a chapter practice in it and a full contact event and here are my feelings on the product after that: Florida is HOT, but the cloth is pretty thin so I did not overheat in it. The kimono worked quite nicely, no ripping, held up to rolling on the ground, and also did not overheat or cramp me when I was wearing my armor. The hakama skirt left something to be desired. During battle I could run in it just fine and functionally it worked, but after one wash, you have to iron the pleats back into place or else it will look like one of those ketchup cups that has been spread out. Also, the hakama skirt style is not good for tying around the legs, so in the future I will be sticking with the pants style. Going to the bathroom is a TON easier with the skirt style though. All in all, the product is battle functional, but needs a bit of care to look good.

It comes up when you search for hakama pants, I think it may be tagged improperly in the algorithm, comes with a quality too, obi, & hakama. It's all higher quality fabric & seamsmanship than I expected. If it's what I wanted it'd be great, (a bit short length wise). But it's completely traditional, it's a skirt, not pants 🤷

The media could not be loaded.  The particular version I bought was shorter in length than a full sized kimono, but taller than a t-shirt. Perfect for me, because I intended to use this with a hakama for iaido practice (note, hakama in the video is NOT from this seller, and was purchased from e-bogu). The fabric is fairly thin, and I can't imagine that it would last very long if used roughly, but if you intend to use this for a cosplay or alike it should work no problem. Giving it 5 stars because it is exactly what I thought it was going to be.

It’s extremely comfortable. The pocket sleeves are awesome. I wear it everywhere. It keeps great temperature and is the right choice for all weather. I love it. I wish I could find them in more styles and fabrics.

Good quality. Came the wrong color.

I just wanted a cheap alternative to a light bathrobe, haha, in a kimono/yukata-style, and this fit the bill. The tag for this size medium states 100 cm (I think it’s the length from base of collar down to bottom hem). I’m a petite 5’1” female with 26” inseam -_- and this, after washing on cold AND risking to throw in the dryer at low heat for 10-15 min, hits just above my kneecap. I think it might’ve shrunk the tiniest bit (maybe 0.5-1” or maybe not?) due to my decision to toss in dryer but that’s fine with me. Fabric is airy and cool— good quality for the money!If you’re around my height and want a men’s yukata that hits st the perfect length (right at the ankles), there’s a white/black (looks sort of navy online) men’s yukata by a different brand (kyoetsu?) and the size x-small is perfect , tag labeled 125 cm long.

It's a good material but the seems are pretty weak so it is hard to do martial arts without fixing this.

This uniform is very well made. The heavy fabric, color-fastness, stitching quality, and symmetry are all top notch. It’s not cheap but, if you want to achieve an authentic look, this will certainly do the job.

I bought the black top and black trousers version. The item is made in Myanmar. The quality seems decent so far. But the top is NOT black, more of a navy - very disappointed in the misleading description and photography. Shame I need the item urgently, otherwise would have returned it.

Excellent quality!

I was absolutely blown away by the thick quality of the material, beautiful colors, perfect fit and comfort. My son is 5"8 and 158lbs (slim) and the size large was perfection with room to grow.The packaging was amazing also and very quick shipping considering it came from China to Canada.The only thing about it (which is not a con) is that I am not very familiar how to properly put this on. I did the best I could but the instructions are not very helpful. There are several ties and I still am not quite sure exactly how to set it up properly although it's pretty easy to make it look great anyway. Would love a short video on how to secure the ties. For this price, you will not find better quality or fitment or looks. I would say that anyone over 5"10 should go XL. Definitely recommend.

Die Hakama wird sehr verknittert geliefert. Das bedeutet, dass erstmal das Bügeleisen geschwungen werden muss. Wer das nicht kann hat erstmal Pech. Des weiteren fehlt am Rückenteil des Hakama eine Positionierungsschlaufe. Die Falten sind auch nicht traditionell angeordnet. Besser was anderes kaufen, es sei denn diese Fakten sind für dich unerheblich.

Ce n.est pas un hakama c.est une jupe le desçriptif est incorrect et me met dans l.embarras car j.en avais besoin pour une compétition.
