The hakama was the most challenging piece we've tackled, but so rewarding; brilliantly simple with important nuances. Getting here took multiple prototyping rounds over ~1.5 years and a lot of feedback from dojo-mates about what was working or needed tweaking (for some people a quarter-inch difference in himo width really does makes a difference).
The result is a quality garment that feels balanced, has clean lines, and is comfortable through varied and repeated motion.
Made to your measurements - if you have specific needs around fit, mobility, or body accommodation, I’m happy to help
