Jacket Option - Magic Tape

  • A set of Velcro tape to secure the jacket during practice, at the level of the chest and/or hips.

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.

Here are all the designs we offer and their meaning: 

  • The Seido embroidery is based on the Seido label attached to all Seido equipments.
  • The Aikido embroidery is based on a calligraphy found in the main dojo of Aikikai Hombu Dojo. It was created by Morihei Ueshiba O-Sensei when he was 80 years old, a period in his life when his calligraphy reached its peak. Note that the depth and extension of ideograms are a sign of an open mind.
  • The "Ki' embroidery is based on the same calligraphy as the "Aikido embroidery" but only contains the second kanji "Ki".

  • Karatedo - Gyoshotai (cursive font)
  • Kendo - Gyoshotai (cursive font)

  • Jujutsu - Gyoshotai (cursive font)
  • Zanshin - Gyoshotai (cursive font) : Remaining mind, or lingering mind. 
  • Mushin - Gyoshotai (cursive font) : No mind (mental state), or mind without mind.
  • Heijoshin - Gyoshotai (cursive font) : Calm, imperturbable, relaxed heart/mind
  • Shingitai - Gyoshotai (cursive font) : The unification of mind, skills and body.
  • Takemusu Aiki - Gyoshotai (cursive font) : Aikido concept, the unity of martial techniques through the concept of Aiki.

Option "Name Embroidery":

Optionally, you can add your name as embroidery. It will be embroidered on the left of the bottom part (same high as the Seido label), with a font size of 2 cm by 2 cm.
Please note that due to our technical settings and to improve the overall balance, it is only possible to embroider either a first name, a last name or a word (1 word).

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.

Tshirt Style Juban - Size Table

    Excellent produit

    2 ème achat de ce gi waraku. Très agréable pour l'entraînement, bien Aéré. Le précédent tient bien les lavages à 40° depuis 1 an à deux lessives par semaines avec utilisation intensive.
    Merci pour cette manufacture de grande qualité.

    Great Kendogi. Perfect for the hot Australian summer.

    As usual excellent Seido quality and craftsmanship. This is exactly what I've been looking for to handle the Australian summer. The option to tailor the sleeves is a nice option.

    Sizing is on point and when I had a question Jordy was very quick to get back to me.

    Vaut son prix

    Reçu la version blanche...

    Super content, le tissage "en diamant" est super classe, et le Gi très souple et agréable à porter...
    La veste un peu longue à la réception mais le lavage et le rétrécissement vont corriger ça.

    Je recommande - et le produit et Seido

    Great Service and Product

    Order the gi for Iaido on the 15th Mar (late night) with embriodery service and gotten it on the 26th Mar, faster than expected. Thank you Jordy for your assistance.

    The quality of the gi, color and design is great and prefer this cotton made gi in terms of material as compared to Tetrex which I bought from another Co.

    Equipe, matériel et envoi très professionnels

    Je l ai lavé a 30 degrés avant de le porter et la taille est parfaite.
    Ici c est l été et il commence a faire très chaud.
    Absorbe bien la sueur, vraiment confortable et en plus sèche vite.
    Rangé dans le sac Sashiko Dogi & Hakama, prend peu de place.
    Equipe pro qui m a prévenu par mail lorsque le colis était en livraison.
    Merci a vous.

    The perfect Kendogi

    I needed a lightweight Kendogi for for TSKSR and as usual Seido didn't disappoint. Jordy was quick to answer all my questions and as usual his advise on sizing was spot on. I love being able to have my sleeves cut down a bit and the overall fit and finish are second to none. It even came 2 weeks faster than anticipated.

    Cheers,
    Ryan

    Could I ask for more?

    When I ordered this product it was said in the email that it would be shipped on July's 14th, and I normally don't make a big deal out of it, I just wait for it to arrive. I already know that it's just an approximated time and it always comes earlier, and in fact it did, so I was really thrilled about it!

    Until I got this kendogi I was using a cheap one, grey, made of polyester and oh my, I would end up sweating way too much (I train outside). So I decided that it was time for an upgrade, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase.
    Although its hard fabric it's very refreshing to wear (that's the cotton working its magic), and by that I mean not dying of dehydration when training in a park next to a river and its nearly overwhelming humidity.

    [I'm barely 165 cm (5.5 for our british/american friends) and I got the 3.5 size for I usually don't buy clothes my actual size because it's too tight for me, whereas a bigger size (M) fits me perfect except for the length, and that's what's happened here; for those who, like I do, are in between sizes, I recommend the 3.5 (you're going to tuck it inside your hakama anyways). But in the end it's all a matter of preferences.]

    And finally, the elegance... I don't know if it's just me, but whenever I dress up to train I feel I'm performing a ritual (like Zen monks who chant the Takkesa Ge in honor of their robes, Buddha's clothing), everything must be in place and tied up correctly.

    If you're thinking on buying this, just do it.

    Yann (Budo Friedberg)
    Léger et agréable

    Très satisfait (comme toujours). Commandé en blanc, le tissage ressort joliment, le gi est léger et agréable à porter, idéal par temps chaud. De très bonne qualité, il semble aussi résistant (l'avenir le dira). Broderie bleu marine impeccable.
    Conforme aux dimensions indiquées (tout comme le rétrécissement), le gi blanc est un peu plus long que les gi de kendo habituels. J'ai d'ailleurs opté pour une demi-taille de moins car de gabarit mince et j'en suis satisfait.
    Comme à chaque fois, emballage de qualité, communication transparente et suivi irréprochable.
