I just received a 100% polyester hakama from Tozando, with my name embroidered
. It looks
very sharp, and when I hang it in a trouser hanger the pleats just fall right into place. I was worried that it would look shiny, but the material actually has a beautiful luster. And they come in half-sizes, too.
I'm sorely tempted to order another before Tozando's winter sale ends, but some would consider this overkill given that I'm still only a 1st kyu and in my dojo we don't wear hakama until shodan
.
