The main factor which determines the quality of a Hakama is the fabric that is used.  Polyester / rayon & polyester Hakama are the most suitable option for Aikido & Iaido.  Polyester rayon is an ‘easy care’ material which allows the Hakama to be washed in a conventional machine and makes general folding and day to day maintenance very simple.  These Hakama are of a perfect cut and shape and we would recommend them to beginners and experts alike.
