What are those Robes called that guys wear during those Summer Japanese Festivals?

Question

Women wear yukatas, but what do guys wear?

Answer 1

Japanese guys also wear male yukata watching that festival. some wear Fundoshi褌, loincloth, momohiki股引, underpants and happi法被 (and/or hanten半纏)for special purpose participating in ceremony. Jinbei is incommon for festival participation but common in daily life in Summer. Happi (and/or hanten)is worn by performer of festivals.

Answer 2

Jinbei (a.k.a. hippari) or maybe Samue.

It could also be a mens Kimono also.

It could also be a Hakama.

I would need to see what exactly you are looking at, Jinbei is for summer though.

Here is a better description:

The traditional forms of japanese clothing or japanese clothes in general is called wafuku. Traditional japanese clothing can be broken down into the following clothing categories.  

Kimono - meaning clothing or things to wear is the basic japanese clothing

Yukata - the summer kimono

Nagajugan - undergarments

Clothing Accessories - obi, shoes, socks, etc.

Haori - short silk jackets

Michiyuki - Overcoats

Hakama - japanese pants

Uchikake - most formal kimono

Shiro-maku - wedding kimono

I think My Grandfather had either a Kimono or Yukata, though it has been so long since I have seen him.  I think it was a kimono because it was silk.

Answer 3

Men wear a yukata too.

(Not a bystander) conventions often wear a "happi".
