THE AIZOME GI IS INSPIRED BY THE JAPANESE INDIGO DYEING PROCESS WHICH USES THE FERMENTED LEAVES OF THE POLYGONUM TINCTORIUM PLANT TO CREATE A DEEP BLUE DYE.
AIZOME DYED GARMENTS WERE USED BY THE SAMURAIS FOR ITS ANTISEPTIC PROPERTIES, HELPING HEALING WOUNDS AND REPELLING INSECTS.
EVEN THOUGH THE BLUE COLOR IN OUR GI REFLECTS A DARK AIZOME SHADE, OUR GI IS NOT MADE WITH AIZOME DYEING. THIS IS A TRIBUTE TO AN OLD TRADITION, WHICH TODAY IS KEPT BY ONLY A COUPLE OF FAMILIES IN JAPAN.

The side spikes are a common shibori pattern (Japanese dyeing technique that involves folding, twisting or bunching cloth and binding it, then dyeing it in indigo).

The fabric is pre-shrunk at the factory, but it will still shrink up to 7% on the first few washes. To minimize shrinkage, wash on cold water and line dry in the shade. We recommend going one size bigger if you are in-between sizes.
