Japanese Samurai Hakama Uniform

Absolutely beautiful. Price is a bit high but totally worth it.

Legit and true to size im 6ft and 220 the XL fit perfect

First off. I've never owned a Yukata but the quality of this thing is Legit. I'm 5"11 weighing 220 and bought the XL. The top part was pretty huge. I would have bought a Large instead. I bought it in black but it looks amazing. I need to buy the straw shoes to complete the look. Deff reccomend.

Is really beautiful Kimono for Kenjutsu, the Thickness is really good, for the price is just perfect, the only problem that I had is that the Hakama (lower part) is not a Umanori-Hakama (a pants ) instead is a Andon-Hakama ( a skirt) which for me for kenjutsu is not that comfortable at practice, it depends on every person used or needs of the kimono. It would be nice to come with an Obi belt but I guess for the price is okay not to come with it making it cheaper for most people that’s good to. I’m 1.78 cm tall I order the LL size but may be one size smaller (a 1.75) might work best so I would be stepping on the hakama

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.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I had a role in an indie film and needed a kimono. I bought this and it was perfect! I read the instructions on how to put it on/wear it, and after a few tries had it down to a science. A Japanese actor on set even said I did it perfectly! Anyway, this is great for movies, role playing, or even just hanging around the house (it's very comfortable to wear).

Not Japanese made in China

Love this. Arrived on time and fit just like I thought it would.

Size discription was spot on even with recomendation of going a size up for non japan indervidual, material feels stong and comftable, id recomend getting a undergarment with it but other than that, well worth the money and perfect if u want to fancy dress or even taking formal ware a diffrent direction

Esattamente ciò che cercavo.in cotone e si indossa bene .

Die Farbe gefällt mir sehr gut und auch von der Größe passt es mir. Nur die hakama musste ich umnähen da es nicht für iaido funktioniert. Aber das war auch ruckzuck erledigt und nun habe ich einen sehr schönen Trainingsanzug für Iaido

So these are not unamori style hakama so not the pants but the skirt...not made for martial arts...these are Andon Bakama and were worn by political people or high class women...the unamori was mainly worn by soldiers/samurais... works well for cosplay a Daimyo or a foot soldier i guess
