When choosing your Kendo Hakama, the first thing to consider is the material.
For hakama, you can choose from traditional cotton or tetron - which is a fiber blend of polyester and rayon.
When it comes to machine washing frequently due to intense or increased practice, cotton-made kendo hakama tend to fade and shrink, but the luxury of the fabric makes it ideal for special events such as exams or competition.
Tetron hakama, on the other hand, are comparatively much easier to clean, and and this type of kendo uniform is recommended for beginners.
At Tozando, we offer both cotton and tetron fiber kendo hakama, available for all applications to go along with your gi. If you are still unsure which fabric of martial arts equipment to use, view the Tozando FAQ page, or contact us for further customer service.
