Comfy new kataginu kamishimo: Wool tricot hakama, wool tricot kataginu with black linen lining, and a black linen kosode under it all. Looks good with the black Vibram KSO Treks, too.

Richard:

In white: http://www.wodefordhall.com/kosode.htm
In navy to match your haks: http://sengokudaimyo.com/katchu/graphic ... tatare.PDF Leave the sleeves off and the sides open for a kataginu, or just make the hitatare; should look fly.

I lined my kataginu but it's almost dumb simple without a lining.


Thanks, Ana!

My role for samurai summer will be that of the Portuguese navy/merchants that forcibly re-opened trade routes.

Nice garb, man. Simple colors, clean lines. Looks slick.
