Veste Iaidogi Classic Coton 'Waraku' - Blanc ou Noir

I bought this one for my son as winter here in northern Japan is very cold. I already have the same dogi which is great for intense training and warm in winter. I highly recommend it.
北日本の冬はとても寒いので、息子のためにこれを買いました。私も同じ居合道を持っていますが、激しいトレーニングに最適で、冬でも暖かいです。とてもお勧めです。

I got the white Waraku in size 3, I’m 173,5cm and 90+ kg and the jacket fits great. The stitching pattern looks distinguished and creates sort of small air pockets between the fabric and your skin, making it light and highly effective in wicking away sweat. This is by some margin the most comfortable cotton iaidogi I have worn.

The shrinkage during the first 1-2 delicate 30’C cycles was minimum, only 2-3cm from the hem, while other measurements remained and have remained ever since unchanged. I use a wash bag, turn the jacket inside out before placing in the bag and my front-loading washing machine and only use a mild liquid sports equipment detergent. Hang to dry on a coat hanger in the shade and you are good to go in a matter of hours. Highly recommended, I will probably get another one in black later on.

綿のものを探しておりました。
ホームページで、職人の方々の顔が写っており、この方達が頑張って作ったのかな。とワクワクして待っておりました。
到着したら、無地かと思っていたら、生地にガラガラあり、オシャレなので嬉しいです。
まだまだ初心者なので、長く使えるように服と共に精進していきたいと思います。

Veste de super qualité, parfait pour les entraînements intensifs elle absorbe bien la transpiration, agréable sur le corps .

I'm female, 166 cm slim build, and a size 2 fits me perfectly even after slight shrinking in the wash. The weight of the fabric is perfect for iai training in all seasons except cold winters (which we don't get in southern California anyway). The standard configuration of this gi comes with an inside koshi-himo but not an outside mune-himo. If you prefer both, be sure to select that add-on option.

My new Iaido Jacket arrived incredibly fast and well-wrapped. Thanks to the advice from the Seido-Team, the size fits very well. I did reset the mune himo I ordered (they were set a bit too close for me) - now everything sits perfectly. I also considered shortening the jacket because it’s quite long and I was worried it would “bunch up” under the Hamada. But after a few training sessions and a full weekend seminar I find that it can be worn comfortably with no problems at all (and I appreciate the extra warmth in German winter :)). Speaking of fabric: the cotton feels really nice on the skin (it’s so soft!) and the weave is beautiful. The jacket also comes with an extra scrap of fabric should any mending become necessary at some point in the future or if you want to add himo yourself. Thank you for this beautiful jacket that’s going to accompany my Iaido from now on.

Tout d'abord. 5/5 à l'équipe Seido, quel plaisir d'avoir à faire à une équipe professionnelle et à l'écoute de nos demandes.
La veste est d'une qualité exceptionnelle: confortable et de belle facture, et le tissage est super beau.
Commande reçu en moins d'une semaine via Fedex.
Je ne peux que recommander.

This gi is so comfortable that I hesitate shopping for any gi anywhere else for iaido.

I'm a relatively new iaidoka, and the gear search has been both illuminating and confusing. My sensei recommended Seido for general iaido gear, but he specifically mentioned the quality of their gi.

If you've practiced other martial arts that require uniforms, you'll know that those uniforms aren't generally intended to actually feel good to wear.

But this gi feels downright luxurious!

It's so comfortable and pleasant to handle that I would gladly buy another Waraku gi if they expanded the color selection.

Un veste confortable, légère et respirante, un très beau tissage, la coupe est parfaite, pour une pratique régulière ou intense d'art martial. Je recommande cette veste pour les amateurs de belle confection traditionnelle.

Dogi de très bonne qualité
Très doux
Et en plus pas de douane
