Color trim on martial uniforms

These colours are on the inside; they cannot be seen when I wear them.
The Tokugawa government forbade the people, especially the samurai (and rich merchant class) from wearing flashy clothing as they espoused Confucianism ideals of modesty. So to get around this they would have beautifully opulent hidden linings of silk and embroidery which was called ‘uramasari’ (裏勝り = ‘the inside surpasses [the outside]’). It was purely for their own viewing pleasure and nobody else’s. I have a few haori with such linings.
The Iaido world (at least in Europe) is just as conservative as the Tokugawa government, so nothing elaborate may be worn. Some have found a loophole and have flashy sageo (cords worn on the sword) and a flashy obi under the hakama which can be seen through the formers side slits!

No. If one requested suede elbow patches, one was immediately commanded to commit seppuku and one’s whole family was slapped around their faces.

Don’t encourage the peacock @Gyakuto. He is a filthy, mannerless, bastard without a dook of an idea how to comport himself public wise.
Kiss my brown ars* whilst simultaneously friggin’ yourself with an old splintered broom handle. I’m a fookin* gentleman I am and I have gold jewelry and a sheepskin coat to prove it
