I purchased this used item at an auction, but it doesn't fit, so I'm putting it up for sale. I removed the paper fasteners from the hakama strings for trying it on. Size: 27.5 String length: 101.5cm Thread count: Unknown The following is my personal opinion. This is the first time I've seen the "Ryu" brand, but it's a fine cotton hakama made with Bushu navy/genuine indigo dyeing. I don't know how often the previous owner used it, but it's in good condition with good color, even after washing. When I bought it, there was embroidery from the previous owner, but I unraveled it to the point where it's almost unnoticeable. It's a bit lightweight and perfect for practice, I think. If the size fits, it's a recommended item. #Kendo #CottonHakama #27 #BushuNavy #Bushu #Navy #GenuineIndigoDyeing #IndigoDyeing
