I used the keikogi (jacket) and the right hakama (skirt-like trousers) for about two years, and the left hakama for about one year in my junior high school kendo club. As a kendo beginner, I didn't know how to take care of them properly, so I just washed and hung them out to dry every day. As a result, the creases have faded. All of them have my name embroidered on them, so please understand this before purchasing.
