Spring is a time of renewal, but for the samurai it was a reminder of the fleeting nature of life...

When the snow melts, the bleached bones of warriors who died in the previous autumn's battles will rise to the surface, reminding passing ronin that while the stories of their deeds may last an eternity, their flesh is still that of a mere mortal.

To create a Gi that looks classic but still meets the standards of today's competition, we chose the finest Pearl Weave Comp fabric on the market. The 450gsm Pro Comp Pearl Weave top is paired with 12oz Cotton Twill pants. Soft to the touch, yet very durable even after many washes, this fabric combination is one of the most sought after by the specialists in our BJJ community.

Tireless and timeless efforts have been made to ensure a perfect everyday fit, comfortable enough not to impede any movement and snug enough to avoid annoying grips from the opponent.

The GI inner jacket is sublimated with our exclusive Half Sumo Irezumi style graphics, and a hand-screen print of an undead samurai with his katana drawn, ready to strike has been reproduced on the inside of the jacket. This print will fade over time, giving the kimono a timeless vintage look.

Various high definition patches, embroidery and prints decorate the outside of the jacket and pants. Also discover an exclusive Kobayashi Issa poem printed on the inside of the jacket.

We have also included a unique high quality Gi bag, fully sublimated with Half Sumo's unique detailed designs. This bag is completely machine washable, so you can simply throw it in the washing machine with your GI and have a clean, fresh bag after every shoot! The unique shape of the bag makes it a great day pack, whether you choose to carry your GI or any other items/gear.

The GI fits like a modern tapered GI. It is pre-shrunk, but please allow for an additional 5% natural shrinkage of the fabric after the first few washes.
