Hunting pants - Karibakama

A type of court noble clothing. Hakama worn with kariginu costume. It is in the form of kukuri-hakama, with a string that is passed through to narrow the hem, which is then tightened and tied. While the same kukuri-hakama style sashi-nuki hakama is made of eight widths, wide and long, kari-hakama is made of six widths, slightly narrower and slightly shorter. Like kariginu, it was originally made entirely of cloth (linen), but silk came to be used as well. Sashinuki was worn by those of the court nobility and above, while kari-hakama was worn by those of the sixth rank and below, known as jige.

公家(くげ)衣服の一種。狩衣(かりぎぬ)装束に着用する袴。括(くく)り袴形式で、裾(すそ)をすぼめるよう紐(ひも)を籠(こ)めて通してあり、それを引き締めて括る。同じ括り袴式の指貫(さしぬき)の袴が八幅(やの)仕立てで広く、丈が長いのに対し、狩袴は六幅(むの)仕立てでやや狭く、丈もやや短い。狩衣と同様に、もとはすべて布（麻）製であったが、絹のものも用いられるようになった。指貫は殿上人(てんじょうびと)以上の者が用いたが、狩袴は地下(じげ)といわれる六位以下の者がはいた。
