Sei-Aizome Cotton Pleat-Lock Hakama

Presenting a smart, dignified appearance while remaining relatively lightweight and comfortable, the KURENAI Kendo Hakama is made from premium grade Gokujouhin Sei-Aizome fabric.

KURENAI Hakama Pleat-Lock detail

KURENAI is the first genuine Sei-Aizome cotton Hakama to use our popular Pleat-Lock stitching. Each important pleat is fixed in place by two rows of stitching, one row on the inside of the pleat and one on the outer crease, helping the shape stay clean and crisp.

This means KURENAI looks sharp when worn, and folding after practice becomes much easier because the pleats naturally fall back into place.

What is Included?

This product includes 1 x KURENAI Shoaizome Cotton Pleat-Lock Kendo Hakama.

Important Aizome Care Note

Because KURENAI is dyed with genuine Aizome, the colour will bleed. The indigo dye may rub off or stain objects, other clothing, and the wearer’s body. This is a normal and natural feature of genuine Aizome Kendo uniforms.

Please take care when washing. We recommend hand washing separately in cold water, without soap or detergent.

Traditional Look, Lighter Feel

KURENAI is ideal for Kendoka who want the appearance and character of genuine indigo dyed cotton, but prefer a Hakama that feels lighter and easier to use in regular practice.

Easy to Fold After Practice

The Pleat-Lock stitching helps the Hakama pleats fall naturally back into place, making folding simpler and helping the Hakama maintain a crisp shape.
