旦暮庁 TANBO-CHŌ

These hakama are designed to serve as a washable undergarment for fancy brocaded silk nagabakama, so that the outer layer can simply be aired. The pattern is sourced from the book Jidai Isho no Nuikata.

This pattern can be shortened in length to serve as an undergarment for ankle-length hakama.
