This is the 3rd tetoron hakama I ve bought. The quality is the best among the three and with the cheapest price. It looks quite similar to cotton hakama but not usual tetoron hakama because the weight of the fabric is just right, in between heavy cotton hakama and tetoron hakama that are too light to wear. It also stays neat and clean after all day intensive keiko, which makes it perfect for shiai and some more formal occasions. I ve also tried to wash it with washing machine, the fabric got some wrinkles after washing. I worried it may require ironing but after hang drying the fabric returned to soft, smooth and wrinkle free and it is easy to keep the pleats in place. Highly recommended!
