Spec me a Japan!

Ok, that title doesn't actually make much sense.

Basically, I'm looking for traditional Japanese male clothing. Similar to what they may have worn in the feudel time, I believe they were some sort of robes possibly, not entirely sure.

Basically, I'm not completely aware of what they would have worn, and need to acquire a high quality costume.

Thanks

Basically I need noble, courtly attire from the time. Preferably in a blue/white colourscheme, but not necessary.

Failing that (possible expenditure), I would be looking at some comfortable garb that could be worn by samurai/shoguns while they're not in their armour.

It's for a perfectly nerdy reason of live roleplay. so needs to be as genuine as possible.

Thanks for the current info, should give me enough to go off. If anyone can give me better with this info, feel free to comment

Maybe something like a keikogi?

Hmmm, as I say, I'd rather find some form of courtly attire. I'm aware I may have to fall back on Haori/Hakama etc though if I can't find anything particularly suitable :(

bored looking around found this might be useful if you want to try and find the pieces seperate and put one together, its the second one.

Actually, that gives me plenty to go off, and a nice variety to look at as well. Thanks a lot for that

Am actually having real trouble finding the various parts. Most sellers just sell dressing gowns, passing them off as kimonos and delving no further.

Is anyone able to point me towards a half decent seller?
