The Art of Kimono Dressing

There is an interesting video at www.nytimes.com on the correct way to wear a man's kimono. Sorry, I can't seem to get a url for just the video.

HT, I though of you - isn't it time to get a kimono?

Interesting. I didn't realize the men's clothing was that detailed.

Love the video, but I'd bet moeney he's going to have to hire someone to dress him in Kyoto! It's one of those skills that takes lots of practice!
