"on occasion of my sensei passing away i ordered a white teton hakama with extended himu size 27, i choose shipping with fed ex.
it arrived fast how ever, one of the pleads was incorrectly ironed, which in itself would be a repairable flaw, how ever during the second practice the little "spoon" or Hera, which is tugged behind the belt to keep the back of the hakama from sliding down fell of, on closer inspection it was clear it was not properly sawn in. please be aware that this was not rigorous practice but worn on slow going measured practice of iaido techniques demonstrated in the context of memorial ceremonies for my passed sensei.
that low quality of fabrikation, the faulty ironed pleat, and the fact that it did take me 3 days to reach the company and then the responsible person is not available, let me give e-bogu hakama's a very bad review. "
"Dogi of decent quality cost nearly $100. For that price, it seemed reasonable to ask for a top and bottom in the size that fit me, but e-bogu was not willing to mix and match. This even after offering to buy a second set in my size. They are rigid and not service-oriented. "
"Good selection, great prices, good service."
"Bought a carrying case for my daughter's Aikido swords. Good price, reasonable shipping. Order arrived as described w/o any drama. Would use again. "
