Hakama Alteration - Koshiita height adjustment

  • The Koshiita should sit on top of the belt. (Seido Hakama are fitted to be worn with a common Judo type belt.)
  • High Koshiita (Iaido style): The Koshiita is higher than the front strap, to be worn with a Kakuobi/large Iai type belt.
  • Low Koshiita: The base of the Koshiita is about 3 cm lower than the front strap (which is done by moving the front strap slightly up). This allows to fold the front belt into the "Judo type belt" without getting a crumpled Hakama when tied.
  • Adjusting the height of the Koshiita according to your belt/style of wearing, helps that the pleats fall nicely and flat.

This product is a Seido original product designed by our team

Here are all the designs we offer and their meaning: 

  • The Seido embroidery is based on the Seido label attached to all Seido equipments.
  • The Aikido embroidery is based on a calligraphy found in the main dojo of Aikikai Hombu Dojo. It was created by Morihei Ueshiba O-Sensei when he was 80 years old, a period in his life when his calligraphy reached its peak. Note that the depth and extension of ideograms are a sign of an open mind.
  • The "Ki' embroidery is based on the same calligraphy as the "Aikido embroidery" but only contains the second kanji "Ki".
  • Judo - Gyoshotai (cursive font)
  • Karatedo - Gyoshotai (cursive font)
  • Kendo - Gyoshotai (cursive font)
  • Iaido - Gyoshotai (cursive font)
  • Jujutsu - Gyoshotai (cursive font)
  • Zanshin - Gyoshotai (cursive font) : Remaining mind, or lingering mind. 
  • Mushin - Gyoshotai (cursive font) : No mind (mental state), or mind without mind.
  • Heijoshin - Gyoshotai (cursive font) : Calm, imperturbable, relaxed heart/mind
  • Shingitai - Gyoshotai (cursive font) : The unification of mind, skills and body.
  • Takemusu Aiki - Gyoshotai (cursive font) : Aikido concept, the unity of martial techniques through the concept of Aiki.

Option "Name Embroidery":

Optionally, you can add your name as embroidery. It will be embroidered on the left of the bottom part (same high as the Seido label), with a font size of 2 cm by 2 cm.
Please note that due to our technical settings and to improve the overall balance, it is only possible to embroider either a first name, a last name or a word (1 word).

Product Information & Size Chart

  • Aikido Tetron Hakama

    Made in Japan | Black, Navy

    Material: Tetron (65% polyester / 35% rayon)

    Shrinkage: 0% | Weight (size 26): 0.92 kg

    Shape: Traditional Aikido cut (flexible koshiita, straps with 7 lines of stitching)

    This model is made of a composite fabric polyester/rayon, a combination that provides our hakama with durable quality. This synthetic model is solid, comfortable, and very easy to maintain thanks to a special iron treatment that keeps pleats perfect in any place. We recommend it for young practitioners and for those training daily. Tetron is the fabric most commonly used in the manufacture of Japanese Hakama for Kendo, Iaido, and Aikido. The fabric that we use is slightly thicker and stronger than the fabrics used for common Kendo or Iaido models. The uncompromising quality of our tetron hakama is illustrated by the 7 rows of stitching on the straps for extra robustness. The flexible Koshiita made of durable composite rubber is safe for any kind of ukemi.

    Easy to fold and to maintain, this model may be hand-washed and dried on a hanger (holding the folds using clothespins) without risk of losing the pleats or damaging the fabric. The color does not fade even though a slight color transfer may occur due to frictions.
    For maximum comfort, the strap length is adjusted according to the size of the hakama.
    As all our Hakama, this model is fully made in Japan (fabric, cut and stitching).
    For size smaller than 23, please contact us for custom order.

    Option (made to order): sewing of the inside pleats

    Though Synthetic Hakama are quite easy to maintain, we propose to sew the inner pleats for those who want to make the folding as easy as possible. The pleats are sewn on the inside, which makes them completely invisible when worn. The result however is that the pleats are better kept, and the "puffed out" aspect the hakama will be reduced.

    Un accompagnement et un hakama parfait

    Jeune première dan j'étais à la recherche de mon premier hakama, mais étant corpulente, j'ai demandé conseil pour le choix d'un hakama sur mesure. J'ai été parfaitement accompagnée, et mon hakama me va comme un gant. Je ne peux que recommander Seido, du conseil au suivi de la commande. La livraison a été très rapide, et j'ai pu commencé ma nouvelle saison avec mon hakama. Merci encore.

    TRES BEAU HAKAMA

    J'ai commandé sur mesure car un peu corpulent, l'équipe m'a parfaitement conseillée pour la taille et j'ai recu le Hakama exact qu'il me fallait. La taille est parfaite à tous niveaux.
    Je pense en recommandé un deuxième d'ici peu.
    Merci Seido !

    Great Hakama

    My first hakama and I love it! Because I'm not not having an ordinary size, I've ordered an custom made hakama. I tried first an hakama normal size from Seido from a friend, but where the lenght was okay, the straps and koshiita were not fitting well. So by trying I did know to what I had to change and what not. Ordering wasn't difficult after that and al what I had tot do was waiting till everything arrived and fitting. It arrived earlier than I expected and it's fitting perfect. Thank you all so much for your hard work.

    Near perfect

    While the hakama itself was great, the size chart and thr alterations chart can get a little confusing when it is your first hakama. Make sure you double and triple check your sizes before purchasing.

    Au-delà des attentes

    J'ai commandé un Hakama tetron, avec broderie personnalisée pour la première fois. L'ergonomie du site n'a fait aucun défaut, et j'ai reçu mon produit totalement conforme à mes attentes au bout de quelques jours à peine, au lieu des 2 semaines indiquées !
    Je recommande ce site, et j'y retournerai faire des achats à l'avenir les yeux fermés.

    Très satisfait de ma commande

    J’ai commandé un hakama tetron tradition avec diverses options (broderie, taille légèrement plus large, couture des plis intérieurs). Je suis très satisfait de la qualité du produit, de la rapidité de la confection et de l’envoi (quelques jours avant le délai de 3 semaines annoncé au départ).
    C’est la 1e fois que je commandais chez Seido, étant d’ordinaire un habitué d’une autre célèbre marque japonaise. Seido offre un service et des produits de qualité avec, notamment des options de personnalisation très variées, ce qui est un plus.
    J’ai dû payer des taxes de dédouanement mais c’est la règle, après tout, pour un envoi international.
    Merci beaucoup à toute l’équipe!

    Hy!

    I ordered 4 hakamas for myself and some practice friends.
    I have 30+ years of practice and I never had a better hakama than this one.
    I highly recommend Seido!
    Thank You!
