Tetron Aikido Hakama - Custom Colors

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.
