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.

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). - 450 GSM Pearl Weave 100% Cotton Jacket - 12 oz 100% cotton drill pants - COOLMAX® fabric lining inside the jacket (shoulders and waist) and pants (gusset) - Ripstop lapel - High definition embroideries - Brushed cotton jacket (soft/comfortable) - Slim fit - Reinforced knee pads - EVA foam collar with the perfect balance, not too hard (uncomfortable), not to soft (better grips for the opponent) - Lightweight elastic drawstring on the pants

The fabric is pre-shrunk and will have minimal shrinkage if washed on cold water and line dried in the shade. You can adjust the overall size up to 4% by doing a controlled shrink. Wash it in warm water and dry it gradually from line dry, warm and hot in the machine settings, until it shrinks to your desired fit.
