Rurouni Kenshin clothing

[Silverotter107]

We're all weird like that some how. I'd walk around like that, too, if I had a good enough quality cosplay. Which I don't. Mines just cheap, light-weight cotton.

@ ObSesSeD: Thank you. I didn't know that.

Uuugh, I want to go to a con! I probably never will, but I want to. That'd be the best, cosplaying Kenshin. I hope you have fun!!

Hm... Why do you call Kenshin's top a gi? Someone else made a thread calling it a gi, too. I thought it was a kimono. Gi are the thick robe-tops used in kendo, and they don't have the long sleeves (long as in hanging down) like a kimono does. Are there different kinds then?

Well, for kendo (I'm a kendoka) we wear a hakama and a gi. The gi is kinda long, about mid-thigh length and goes underneath the hakama. The sleeves aren't long-long. They reach your elbows, but they don't hang down like a kimono's, they would get in the way. I'm pretty sure that the outfit that Kenshin wears is the same thing (except his sleeves are long).

For me, what I'd really want to wear is Tomoe's kimono... and maybe Misao's clothes. I like 'em... so much.

I did some research on Iaido uniform (which I'm guessing it pretty similar to the Kendo uniform) the shirt is called a Iaigi (which could be the gi, but I don't know....) and the pants are hakama (same as kendo). I'm guessing they aren't 100% historically accurate (Watsuki may have taken some liberty with the colors), but they're pretty close.

If I had a chance, I would totally cosplay Kaoru. I like Kimonos!!  

[stfu_victoria]

i would wear kaoru's kimonos anytime.
they're really beautiful.
also i really liked tomoe's outfit.

mrgreen  

[Pyromaniac II]

I'd where Sojiro's outfit any day. Lol. It'd be sweet.  

[dalex4444]

i would totally be kenshin  

[Empress_Tsubame]

If I could display someone...It would be Tomoe or Tsubame.  

[Ice Street 7]

I would dress as Kenshin anyday. I also think that what Aoshi wears in the last books of the manga series is awesome. The ninja outfit, not the jacket he usually wears. I'm talking about when he wears this
