I'm almost certain this debate is lurking somewhere here on the boards, but I can't seem to find it if it is. So I ask for your opinion here.
Recently I've been looking into building a pair of hakama, because I've been told that they're easier to move in. Though after a little research, I've discovered that their structure is almost that of basic slops. What's the use of making Hakama when I can just shore up the extra material, stitch up the sides and middle and make baggy slops? Which do you prefer and why?
