5. How should I wash my Keikogi and Hakama?
The following are some important information to take care of your Kendogi
and Hakama:
- Please use cold water to wash both Keikogi and Hakama.
- For detergent use, please use only 'Dark Color' detergent for
Aizome (indigo) uniforms.
- You should never wash with hot water, nor with other clothes, as the
color from the Aizome (Japanese indigo dye) will come out and stain other clothes.
- You should also never place them in the dryer, as it will shrink about
one to two sizes.
- After washing the 100% Cotton Hakama, fold to its original pleats and
hang dry in the shade or dry area. Do not expose to direct sunlight.
