This is a pair of formal hakama for a man. Learn more about this type of garment below. 

Understated and refined, this man's skirt-style hakama features a finely woven gray grid pattern that creates subtle texture and a crisp, tailored appearance. The back retains its original hera, the rigid tab that tucks into the obi to help secure the hakama in place; its inscription reads "Matsuo Gofukuten", meaning "Matsuo Kimono Shop," an appealing remnant of the shop that originally sold the garment.

Hakama are traditional Japanese garments worn over a kimono, recognized for their wide, flowing shape and distinctive pleats. There are two main styles: pants style, which are constructed like very wide-legged pants, and skirt style, which have a continuous, skirt-like, undivided shape. Both styles create a similar graceful silhouette when worn and have historically been used for formal dress, ceremonies, martial arts, and other traditional occasions.
