It has good fabric but paint of hakama is not stable. It painted all other cloths and also my hand in my first wearing.

There should be a attention like wash before wearing.

Placed a group order and was pleasantly surprised to find my #8000 hakama were upgraded to #10000 as a thabk you gift! Did wash in warm water and vinegar prior to first wear to set the dye and still see some rub off, but that's indigo dye for ya. It does show some fading in high friction areas such as the knees, also to be expected.

I already had a lighter synthetic hakama but wanted something heavier, a bit more traditional, and this hakama is perfect! This is a high quality item, it looks amazing and the feel is great. Some "smurfing" after 2 handwashes but not too bad. Obviously needs some care to perfect the pleats but nothing impossible if you wash and fold as expected. Extremely happy with the purchase and Ivan's support in the decision process!

Fits good, looks great.

Will buy another one when this one wears out
