Some background information… The Kimono can be worn by men,
women and children of all ages.
It comes in different types of fabric for the winter seasons, fall, spring and summer as well.
The length of the sleeves represent your age, the longer the sleeve the younger you are while the shorter the older you are.

Step 6
Fold the excess fabric over the koshi-himo. Make sure it is neat and straight as you fold over, after look and see if the bottom is still even around your ankles

Step 7
Take the date-jime and wrap it around your torso area. Place it over the koshi-himo on the outside of the fabric, the folded excess fabric needs to be visible about two inches below the date-jime.

Step 8
Tie the ends of the date-jime once in the back then bring them around to the front and tie them again. Securely tuck the ends inside the belt to hold them in place.
