things that make you go "hum"

From the office to the dojo without that annoying stop in the lockeroom in between.

another good point is there isn't a big bow tucked under the back area making your oshiri look larger than life.

Those looks pretty stylish, that they do. I'd wear them!

i think ive seen these before
i have some hakama type jeans, but these are just odd
and those jackets are somewhat 80's
one definately has a power shoulder thing going on

Morning,

I *love* the look of a hakama; I'd certainly wear that.

'course, I adore men in hakamas as well. It should be mandatory office wear.

Enjoy,

Barbara

I wonder if it'd lose its pleats with regular wear... imagine showing up for an interview with fading creases. tetron in the board room however... hmmm.....

Oh, and kendomom - no guy can wear something like that simply on account of how high the crotch is cut. ... >_<

[rottunpunk]

no, but there are some more trousery type hakama (which probably have a name)
they do look smart, and have a fly zip and everything

then you could go out on the town as a real couple

Agreed.

I think I may just have to order a pair of these pants to see what they are really like. If they are 1/2 as comfortable as my hakama they'll be a keeper.

Hakama made from nice material with a dogi. Sure. I think they look great. That's half the point in watching Samurai Movies, so you can sit there going "oooh! I wish I had a hakama like that!"

Beige with eighties jackets though.

[Yulya]

The brown and green combination looks pretty nice, I'd wear it!

[Andrew S]

Never wear hakama in front of cowboys.

[satsumaruma]

many of you won't be old enough to remember this band but the Stranglers bassist Jean Jacques Burnel occasionally used to wear a hakama during live gigs

i can totally picture folks in walking down the street in hakama, so long as it's not a windy day. i fully dig on the japanese construction worker trousers, too - http://www.pingmag.jp/2006/01/18/con...orker-fashion/ has some decent photos.
