Tetron Striped Aikido Hakama
Shima Hakama - Striped Aikido Hakama
Made in Japan |Â 9 different colors/patterns
Material: Tetron (65% polyester / 35% rayon)
Shrinkage: 0% | Weight (size 26): 0.92 kg
Shape: Traditional Aikido cut (flexible koshiita, straps with 7 lines of stitching)
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. We recommend it for young practitioners and for those training daily. 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.
The finish is identical to our Tetron Aikido Hakama and all customizations (full custom made) are also available for this model.
Striped Hakama (shima Hakama) are very common in Japan, in tea ceremony (Sado), Iaido (mainly for demonstration), some Koryu, and of course as traditional clothing (for weddings and other ceremonies).
It is, however, much less common in Aikido and shima Hakama are not used at all in major Aikido groups. They are mainly used in lines that practice Taiso as a specialized art. Please make sure you are authorized/need a striped Hakama prior to placing your order (this product being fully custom made, we do not accept order cancellation.)
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):
- #02: Light Kaki - Dark Green - Black
- #03: Navy - Grey
- #07: Brown - Black
- #08: White - Black
- #09: Blue - Black - White
- #10: Light Kaki - Green
- #11: Black - White
- #12: Blue - Light Kaki - Black
- #13: Blue/Green - Dark Brown - Blue/Grey
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.Original: $202.00
