Hello Bachido members!

I am just putting it out there that there will be starting as of next year, Bachido Kimono with Bachido mon, Happi coats, Hoari etc etc.

I am good friends with a kimono maker who wishes to expand his business starting next year, hoping to target America, UK etc to begin with but is open as to who he sells to. He can design any mon (aslong as a reference picture is provided I am guessing) into the kimono.

Let me know what you guys think, as I am not sure how much they will be just yet. His kimono do really look amazing though.

One of his goals is to promote Kimono wearing in other cultures and possibly bring it back into an everyday fashion for more people. Also to make it more available to the world market.

Please leave a comment on what you think, what colours you might like and what type of design you may like on a kimono?

Cool…I have a black one. But from what I’ve read traditional Japanese clothing wasn’t jet black. Maybe charcoal, or navy blue.

Otherwise I’m crazy about lavender, the more red version as opposed blue like lilac. Or a pastel purple. But yeah more red then blue tint.

That’d be cool! I’d spend some coin on something as simple as a Bachido Happi to put a twist on the whole “club t-shirt” thing.

Does Bachido have an official color scheme?

I dont think bachido does Joseph :slight_smile: I think its mainly just black and white in the logo… but I’m sure there is no strict colour scheme ^^

A black and white logo would look really good on charcoal.

That would be amazing, I would definitely get a Mon or Hoari with the bachido logo on it. That would be sick dude! I could try to promote kimono wearing here in North Carolina as much as I can for your friend mainly because all of my friends know that I love Japan and I showed them how great the culture is and they are all interested as well. I would love to help you promote his business.

A kimono would be awesome especially with the bachido logo on it, if this happens will there be model for both men and women ?
For me a black and white kimono would be amazing. The japanese culture is really awesome and that’s why I would love to help too

Yikes! Sorry to hear about your aunt, BH. It looks like she had great taste in fashion. Id love a jacket like that! :slight_smile:

Hahaha!!! Oh man, gotta love BH on a Friday night!! ;-D

Any updates, Cana? I can’t wait to see some samples! Now that the swag is finally made, (http://bachido.com/products/swag) it’s time to start on a new fashion project! (Ah, still gotta shirt-ize Ale’s great design from last year’s challenge)

Alan: Oooh, a bachido kimono would be really wild. From what I know, female kimono are much more elaborate and can take over an hour to put on (whereas male kimono can be thrown on in 10 minutes or less).

I’m thinking it might be good to start with a male kimono design first, since it’s simpler. Once we get a finalized outfit made, we can get ideas for a female kimono. I’m friends with the head of immortalgeisha.com. She has great sensibilities for designing kimono, and I’m sure would be happy to help design a neo-classical kimono! :slight_smile:

Our kimono maker says he will need some time to set everything up, and it could take anything up to a month or so for the examples to be made for us. I have asked in reply to this if he could get us some pictures of previous kimono he has made. :slight_smile:

I will update you guys with his reply to that soon hopefully!
