Tozando Premium AIZOME Double Layer Cotton Kendogi

Discover superior craftsmanship with Tozando's Premium AIZOME Double Layer Cotton Kendogi, meticulously designed for the discerning martial artist. Crafted from 100% cotton, this keiko gi is woven using the traditional sashiko technique, which is characterized by its specific pattern of simple running stitches that provide enhanced durability and a distinct, tactile feel. The robust construction ensures it can withstand the rigors of intensive kendo training while maintaining breathability.

The kendogi is dyed using aizome, an age-old Japanese indigo dyeing process known for its deep, rich blue color. Aizome is not only prized for its vibrant hue but also for its antibacterial and odor-resistant properties, making it ideal for martial arts apparel. The natural components of the dye help preserve the cotton fibers' integrity, extending the lifespan of the garment.

This double-layered kendogi features a medium-weight outer layer that offers substantial protection without sacrificing flexibility. The inner lining is crafted from a softer, lighter blue cotton, providing additional comfort and minimizing skin irritation during extended practice sessions.

Key technical features :

• Double Layer Construction: Enhanced protection and durability, suitable for year-round training.
• Sashiko Weave: Increases fabric strength and adds a unique, textured appearance.
• Natural Aizome Dye: Offers a beautiful aesthetic with gradual fading that adds character over time, along with antibacterial and odor-resistant qualities.
• Reinforced Seams: Ensures longevity and resistance to wear and tear.
• Comfortable Inner Lining: Soft cotton layer for increased comfort during vigorous movements.

Please note, the natural aizome dye will fade gracefully with time, reflecting the wearer's dedication and progression in their martial arts practice. Each kendogi thus becomes uniquely personalized through its evolving patina. This feature, combined with the gi's durable construction, makes the Tozando Premium AIZOME Double Layer Cotton Kendogi a cherished part of your kendo journey.
