There have been several discussions on what ninjas actually wore. Pop culture and Hollywood have dictated that they had black ninja uniforms. These uniforms are found in most martial arts supply due to the image of Ninjutsu as seen in the movies. But it is really an accurate depiction of what ninjas really look like?
There are some people who think that they wore a set of peasant grade clothing. A hakama might have been worn with strips of cloth to tie make the baggy clothing tighter, especially at the knees and ankles. This would reduce noise and snagging.
