fulle asked: Hello. I would like to know if all Hakamas and Kendogi in the shop are japanese. Thank you.
Our better fabric such as #8,000 and #10,000 fabric are from Japan while some of the more affordable fabric are not from Japan. The sewing and production is done at our factory in Shanghai. Thanks for your question, please let me know if you have more questions.
thanks

Hakama Thread Counts De-mystified
It seems there is a general consent among the martial arts population (Kendo, Aikido, etc.) when selecting Keikogi or Hakama for purchase, the product description will often indicate a number such as #5000, #8800, or #10,000 that is often confusing. People generally end up making their selection based on price instead of knowing exactly what they have selected. To demystify this number, we will try to look at these numbers from a slightly more scientific approach.

IBB Men
I want to talk about IBB Men Gane (Grill). IBB Men Gane have always been marketed as a high end product that is often associated with tight stitching Bogu (2mm) or expensive hand-stitched products. They are sold with expensive sets for a reason.
