The Color-Fixed Single-Layer Cotton Kendo Gi is designed for kendoka who want the feel of traditional cotton without the common drawbacks of heavy dye bleeding and difficult maintenance. Thanks to its color-fixed treatment, this dogi significantly reduces color transfer, helping it maintain a clean and consistent appearance even after repeated washing.

Constructed from single-layer cotton, it offers a balanced feel—light enough for comfortable daily practice, yet sturdy enough to withstand regular keiko. The fabric allows natural airflow and absorbs sweat effectively, making it suitable for year-round training.

Its tailored cut ensures unrestricted movement during footwork, strikes, and transitions, while also providing a neat and polished look in the dojo. This makes it an excellent option for beginners, intermediate practitioners, and instructors alike.

By combining traditional aesthetics with modern fabric treatment, this kendogi delivers reliability, comfort, and practicality, making it a dependable choice for consistent training without the extra care required by fully dyed garments.

Technical details

Expert tips

• This garment is dyed with traditional Aizome indigo. Some color bleeding is normal, especially during the first months of use.

• Avoid leaving it damp after training; proper ventilation often removes odor without washing.

• Wash only when necessary, always in cold water, with very mild or no detergent.

• Never use hot water, fabric softener, a dryer, or direct sunlight.

• With correct care, Aizome develops a beautiful patina over time rather than simply fading.
