In making Japanese style clothes of Sumo-wrestlers, it is necessary to make out the size of them. So I took their measurments and examined their size, cutting and sewing. As a result, since their measurment is larger than that of the ordinary people, you must devise the cutting when you use limited cloth; especially widening "okumi-haba", dividing at sleeve. If the wrestler is particularly larger, you have to divide at "migoro". In sewing, it is general to handsew at the right side and to use the sewing-machine at the wrong side in order to make strong nowadays.

The wearing Japanese style clothes of Sumo-wrestlers is determined according to rank (a tradition to distinguish the clothes worn by junior-grade wrestlers, the makushita rank). Formal wear (montsuki, haori, hakama) can first be worn only after reaching the juryo rank. Based on clothing construction, this investigation was made of the hakama with respect to measurements, cut and sewing. The results show that the body measurements of wrestlers at and above the juryo rank become larger, and based on trial calculations, a cloth width of 45-48 cm and length of 1,500 cm are required. However, the tailors actually use standard hakama fabric with a cloth width of 40 cm and length of 1,100 cm, adjusting the tuck and cut for each part. Moreover, the clothing is sturdily tailored, so current practice calls for hand-sewing the portions that are visible from the front and machine-sewing the reverse side.
