Color: black

Size: S, M, L or XL

High-end Setta for men. Japanese manufacturing. The "Kitatami" model (lit. yellow tatami) is an imitation of tatami covered with a protective urethane.

The shape is designed to be adapted to the shape of the foot and limit fatigue when walking. This model is water resistant and can be worn on rainy days or near the showers in the dojo.

Ideal replacement for Zori when walking in a dojo or gym, but also refined and solid enough to be worn with a yukata, a Jinbei or Samue, or simply with normal clothes.

We advise martial arts practitioners to opt for the Japanese style, since it benefits posture and balance.

Product Information & Size Chart

  • Japanese Cotton/Polyester Samue

    Made in Japan
    Material: 65% Polyester / 35% Cotton  
    Color: black or navy
    Size: S, M, L, LL or 3L.

    What makes this Samue special? It was designed by Buddhist temple monks so it suits their everyday needs to perfection. Among the main features they requested: 
    - Reinforced sleeves opening for better durability. Also allows great comfort when rolling up the sleeves. 
    - Zipper on the right pocket so nothing gets out when working hard. 
    - Internal pocket, designed at (big) smartphone size (yes, even monks have smartphones nowadays!).
    - Elastic waistband + cord, so it can fit most body types. 
    - Reinforcement on the bottom for better comfort and durability when sitting for long hours. 
    - Double layer reinforcement on the knees, similarly for better durability when working on the temple's everyday tasks. 

    Monks wear Samue all day long and they have limited time for each of their daily tasks, so it was decided to use a cotton/polyester blend to improve washability and fast drying. 

    Solid, well-cut, this is a high-quality Samue model that will delight all enthusiasts of Japanese tradition, as well those seeking an original homeware or leisure outfit for a family outing at the weekend, or even Shiatsu practitioners.

    The Samue is a garment that has many uses. Traditionally worn by monks in Zen Buddhist temples, artists, or even doctors, it is also widely worn as homeware, both at home, in the ryokan (traditional hotel), or at the onsen (hot spring). It is also found among players of the original Zen instrument, the Shakuhachi (traditional flute). In recent years, the port of Samue extended outside the home, as particularly comfortable informal clothing. Just like Jinbei, Samue is worn without a belt.

    Sizing advice

    A samue is designed to be loose, so a specific size will fit a very wide range of body shapes.
    You will find a detailed measurements chart for each size by clicking on the "Samue Size Chart" tab above.

    Wonderful Samue

    Seido is a great company. Thank you!
    Even though my original order was lost in transit, Seido took care of the customer and delivered on their promise. The Samue is of great quality and fit. I look forward to many years of using this wonderful garment.

    Super suivi. Super produit

    J’ai passé commande et elle a été traité très rapidement. Sauf que le colis s’est perdu arrivé à Paris. Le service client de Seido a rapidement pris en charge ce souci. Ce n’est pas la faute de Seido. Après un mois à attendre une réponse de la part de FedEx, Seido m’a renvoyé le colis que j’ai reçu en quelques jours seulement.
    Tenue impeccable, poches pratiques. Tenue confortable. Je suis trop contente

    Merci beaucoup pour votre excellent commentaire, malgré le délai suite à la perte du colis.
    Habituellement, les colis perdus sont recherchés puis traités comme perdus après quelques jours. Malheureusement, la perte du colis est intervenu juste avant la période du Golden Week, cette année 8 jours où tous les services sont à l'arrêt complet au Japon, ce qui a significativement retardé la gestion du support.
    Avec nos excuses pour ce long délai.

    Vêtement de détente très confortable

    Je dispose du bleu marine en taille LL avec une broderie. Très bien pour une personne fine de 1,81m comme moi. C'est un vêtement de détente très confortable et présente bien. Poches disponibles sont un plus. La broderie en couleur orange est très belle sur du bleu marine.
    Possibilité de mettre un smartphone dans une poche. Celui-ci ne doit pas être lourd. J'ai un iPhone 12 Pro. La sensation est désagréable au niveau de la veste. Donc à éviter. Je le porte avec des SETTA et GABI que j'avais acheté sur le site SEIDO. Avec cet ensemble, je suis dans une sensation de bien-être.
    L'équipe SEIDO est à l'écoute du client et leur avis est très appréciable avant d'acheter un vêtement à distance. Concernant le délai de livraison, du tout bon. Le colis est bien arrivé en bon état. Je recommande cet article pour les personnes souhaitant acquérir un vêtement de détente de fabrication et de qualité japonaise.

    excellent product for competitive price with excellent shipping

    Top quality product: materials, cut, craftmanship, all excellent. Details of the samue top construction impressive. As advertised only better. The shipping from Japan was seamless and arrived 4 days ahead of schedule and just over a week from order entry. An near identical product was ordered from a prominent online samue shop in Japan for the same cost. It had identical features, materials, and construction. It was "lost" in shipping and still waiting for resolution over 4 months later. If you are looking for a traditional style temple samue, with modern features that are useful and not cosmetic, from a reliable source, at a very competitive price, with excellent service, this product will not disappoint.

    For compliance reasons, reviews placed in French and Japanese and imported here on February 2024 do not display as 'verified'.
    When importing Japanese reviews, the impossibility to automatically determine the presence of a familly name forced us to label all Japanese reviews as 'anonymous' (Familly names in roman characters have been filtered out).
