Hi Guys,

I'm wondering how many of you have got the Bujin Design hakama with the Aiki koshita and how you think it compares with the traditional koshita in terms of asthetics, comfort and practicality.

As you've probably guessed, I'm thinking of getting one and would appreciate the reviews of people who are actually using one. Thanks.

I've had a Bu Jin hakama with an aiki-style koshita for about 10 years. It's held up well. I think it looks fine.

If you get the heavy cotton/poly blend, you can throw the whole thing in the washer and dryer. There's no rigid koshita to damage and the cotton/poly pleats are perma-press.

Second this! I find it much more comfortable as well.
