Most of the sageo I make for local iaidoka are approximately 230cm long and my sensei likes his longer, about 250cm. A width of 10-12mm or just under 1/2 an inch fits nicely into the standard KURIGATA.
Each sageo of about 2.3m takes up to 5 hours to make using the traditional muradai, tama and quality cotton and or rayon thread. Silk threads also make beautiful sageo though they are more expensive.
Colour combinations are endless however I usually stick to two contrasting colours.
Some of my clients prefer to have their sageo made in their dojo colours, others to match their TSUKA MAKI (the handle wrapping ) colours.
