Jacket Alteration - Sleeves Cut
- Adjust the fit by shortening the sleeves of your jacket.
- The length that is chosen in the selector is the length you want to shorten (cut off) on each sleeve. On average, customers demand a shortening of 6 to 12 cm. Refer to the size chart of each Dogi to know the precise length of the sleeves, but do not forget to take shrinkage into account (about 2 cm).
- This is a good option, if you like a larger cut (or an overall larger size) but still prefer shorter sleeves.

T-shirt Style White Juban (Hadagi)
Made in Japan
Material: 100% Cotton
Color: White (bleached)
Size: M, L or XL
Weight: ~ 200 g
The Juban or Hadagi is usually worn under traditional Kimono or sometimes under a Samue to avoid skin contact with materials that are not the most comfortable ones.
It is also often worn by Iaido, Kyudo and Kenjutsu practitioners under their jacket, for the same reasons.
100% cotton is definitely the best material for your skin, making this model extremely comfortable.
This model is designed as a Tshirt, which makes it easy to wear, and stay in place under a Dogi during intense practice. Most recommended for Iaido/Kenjutsu practice.
We especially recommend the Juban with the Tetron Iaido Jacket which is not very comfortable on the skin, because of the tetron fabric.
Also, give it a try if you feel a little cold in your Dojo, no matter what jacket model you wear.
Juban are unisex and can be worn by men and women equally.
Can be machine washed in cold water.
| Size | Height | Weight | Chest | Jacket Length | Sleeves Length |

| M | 155 cm ~ 175 cm | 50 kg ~ 75 kg | 80 cm ~ 100 cm | 67 cm | 48 cm |
| L | 175 cm ~ 185 cm | 65 kg ~ 85 kg | 90 cm ~ 110 cm | 70 cm | 50 cm |
| XL | 175 cm ~ 185 cm | 75 kg ~ 100 kg | 110 cm ~ 120 cm | 72 cm | 54 cm |

Cotton Iaidogi 'Waraku' Jacket - White/Black
Made in Japan | Okumi Cut | Single Layer (special light fabric) | Black or White (bleached)
Material: Cotton 100% - Shrinkage: ~3%
Weight (size 4 Jacket): 0.5 kg
A single-layer jacket, 100% high-quality cotton with a refined Hishisashi (diamond) weaving. The fabric used for this model is the same as used for our Aikidogi KS200, but slightly thinner.
The Iaido jackets are often made of Tetron or polyester, prompting practitioners to wear a cotton "under-Gi" or a t-shirt to avoid the discomfort of synthetic fabric on the skin. However, this model is particularly comfortable and does not require this because of its natural fabric. It provides good sweat absorption, dries quickly and the hips cord keeps the jacket in place during practice. Ideal for training in hot weather!The "Okumi cut" refers to the shape of the jacket, or more precisely the collar, that ends at 2/3 of the height of the jacket. In other words, the last third features no collar. This is the classic cut as is found on traditional Kimono, allowing to wear a very long jacket under a Hakama without discomfort.
Available in black and white (size 6 available in black only).
This jacket comes with an additional piece of fabric.
Fully made in Japan (cotton, garment, cut and sewing), this model is a best seller during the hot and humid summer here in Japan.
