The front hakama himo should be able to go around your body two times to tie in the back. These hakama straps are often too short and can not be tied properly. We can lengthen the straps so you can wear your hakama properly.

Hakama Shortening

Your hakama should just touch the top of your feet when standing upright. It is common to get a longer hakama that has longer straps and more width to accommodate a person, but it will need to be shortened.

Keiko Gi Sleeve Shortening

Long Keikogi sleeves can catch your tsuka (handle) and interfere with your vision. We can shorten them to make your practice uniform top easier to use.
