For the hakama: Dry-clean only. (Yeah, I know.)
Do yourself a favour and ignore this advice. The one time I had my hakama dry-cleaned, the idiots pressed the pleats in the wrong places. If you have a tetron hakama, wash it gentle cycle cold and hang to dry with a pants press, arranging and smoothing the pleats. Good to go, no ironing required. If you have cotton, wash in the tub if you're extra-cautious, then arrange carefully in the dryer and spin the excess water out. Hang again, arranging the pleats, then iron while still slightly damp. You can also wash cotton in the machine, but you should add a stitch or two to each pleat to make sure you can find them again to iron them in.
