black pants with ties?

[crazyteniye]

Hey everyone today i seen two guys practicing with shinais by the park and they both had these black pants with ties on the knees and ankles anyone know what these are and where to get them? They looked extremely comfortable and very easy to manuvre in them. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

Were they wide pant legs, or tight pant legs?

They looked like mc hammer pants to be frank, you know the parachute looking ones

Ah, what I think that you are talking about is the hakama. You should be able to find them on about any site that sells MA merchandise, like Century, AWMA, etc. If you need to search in sections, check the Aikido, Iado, or other sword sections. They should be in there.

Is this similar to what you are looking for: http://www.karatedepot.com/un-ke-13.html

i dont think it was the hakama, these had the ties that were connected or sewn right to the knee area and ankle area. My hakama doesnt have the ties.

Hmmmm, I can't be sure, then. I don't think it is anything that I have seen; or if I have, I just don't recall it.

They looked super comfortable . They looked heavy duty too, kinda like judo pants but way baggier
