This plugin adds a light armor to the game. Includes suit, gloves, boots, helmet. A hakama, which is carried by the blades if they train, or if they need an alternative to their cumbrous, heavy armor. You can manufacture it at the forge and there is also one set tucked, outside the Sleeping Giant In, in Riverwood. Search for a sack.
The armor values are somewhat below the bandit armor. Optional: Unarmored cloth version file.
For those who unconditionally want to weave the folded cloth themselves, NoiseBomb91 has made this Expansion: TNB Craftable Folded Cloth
Changelog: ========== 1. 0 - Release 1. 1 - Topless variation for males added, shape of female version revised. 1. 2 - Topless variation for females added. 1. 3 - Unhooded helmet added. 1. 4 - Fixed wrong size of Texture in the hakama_female.dds 1. 5 - Add Blades Hakama into the Sky Haven Chest and change Esbern's outfit. - Fixed disappearance of forearms while wearing gauntlets. - Change wrong consistency flags value in the Nif of CBBE topless female version.
____________________________________________________________________________________________ Note: If you want to Esbern wears the hakama, please load the plugin at a save point before entering High Hrothgar to talk to Arngeir during the quest ''The Throat of the World''. If you load the plugin afterwards, it will not affect Esbern's outfit. Not every hairstyle fits to the unhooded helmet. With some of them there are clipping issues, especially with the higher ones. This can not be avoided, or I would have to leave off the hair completely. ____________________________________________________________________________________________

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 2,673 endorsements and 50k downloads – clearly fills a niche.
- Light armor category means it fits into stealth or mage builds without heavy perk investment.
- Simple, focused addition – no bloat, just a clean hakama for samurai roleplay.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2014 – might have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or DLC.
- Only one armor piece – if you want a full samurai set, you'll need to pair it with other mods.
For Skyrim players who want a touch of Japanese culture in their game, especially those roleplaying as a wandering samurai or ronin. If you're after a full armor set or complex mechanics, this isn't it – it's a single, stylish light armor piece.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a light armor, consider pairing it with the Agile Defender perk to maximize your armor rating.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting conflicts.
- Check if the mod requires any DLC or unofficial patches – the 2014 date suggests it might predate some expansions.
