How does a Tokaido Gi, Traditional Cut - Ultimate Heavyweight Gi work?
The uniform consists of a jacket and pants worn during karate practice and competition. The traditional cut follows classic Japanese tailoring proportions, with a fuller fit through the body and sleeves compared to modern athletic cuts.
The no. 10 canvas fabric is a tightly woven, brushed cotton material. The brushing process softens the surface fibers while the dense weave provides structure and resistance to tearing during grappling, grabbing, and repeated washing. Sizing is determined primarily by the wearer's height, with weight used as a secondary factor when it exceeds the listed threshold for a given height.
