Named for the biggest proponent and product tester of our nobokama development and subsequent iterations!
“Everything about this is so well made. I love the details and the beauty of its simplicity… this project was based off a desire to create a rugged pair of training pants that are made to take a lifetime of use, and are heavily inspired by the classic fits worn by Kuroda Tetsuzan in his early training videos. This item has included structural upgrades reminiscent of workwear; once again built around an idea of ‘buy once, and never again.’” - Robby Hovie
Includes construction details like:
narrower silhouette, less volume, same agility .
conspicuous top-stitching
flat-felled seams
omits the koshita (back plate)
sturdy, 100% cotton bull-denim that will soften with wear and washing, like breaking in a new pair of Carhartt’s (limited run, out-of-stock fabric)
These are made to order and built for your measurements. Length and certain construction details are all adjustable. If you have specific needs around fit, mobility, or body accommodation, please ask.
Customization options (specify in the ‘add to cart’ notes section):
Desired length (bottom edge of waistband to hem)
Hips circumference (or waist, if worn higher)
Himo (straps) custom length (default is ~175” front, ~74” back w/ 2 to 4 lines chain stitching for flexible structure)
Front himo ends made from a lighter material for better tying and less bulky under-bum knot
Longer, shorter, or reinforced side vents
Optional Add-ons:
Hanger Straps - $10
Save $10 on an obi when you bundle it with a hakama, gi, or nobokama pre-order. Specify length+fabric on the Custom Obi page, and the discount will be automatically applied at checkout.
