Same Blues?

[LNGUYEN]

I just received my Kendo Gi from Koei. The Keikogi is Single weave, and the Hakama is cotton 10000. The two pieces have different dark blue, the Keikogi is dark blue as I know. However, the Hakama is more like Peroxide blue, like it turned a little to brownish blue. Is this ok?
I bought the hakama 10000 but realy can't tell it is 10000 or 7000 or whatever, guess I have to compare with others in my dojo.

well, I got mine from koei too and its as you have described it. But still it looks fine.

It's very rare that they are the exact same shade. Hakama can sometimes be a little purple.

As far as the weight - the 10000 is quite a bit heavier and stiffer than the 7000. Some people don't like them because of that, but I really like the heft.
