Yamato SakuraUnbleached Single Weave Judo Gi Uniform

It seems to be hard to find a decent unbleached uniform, but this one is great quality and is a great value. The cotton has become very soft after some use and a few washes. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a great unbleached uniform.

This was sold at a great price, and was pretty much exactly what I was looking for. I love the natural color.Cons:~ It doesn’t have side ties on the gi. I miss those; it gapes open and I have to tug it shut during class. (Easy enough to attach my own, since they're on the inside. I may.)~the belt is a bit flimsy; i can see where it has stretched out slightly in the knot area.~gi could be longer (but I’m tall for the size, more below)Pros:~The belt, while it probably won't last as long as the more durable ones, stays closed better than stiffer ones.~The gi is surprisingly well made, with reinforced fabric sewn into the underarms and on lapel-grabbing area. (I say surprisingly, since it was the least expensive gi I found in this style; I paid only $55.)~the gi fabric is soft and comfortable, even after drip drying! (My sensei has one that looks just like it, but I think was a more expensive one, and he drip dries his, and has said people have commented on the scratchiness. Not this one!)~I love the natural color which a friend said is more flattering with my fair skin than a stark white, and I agree.~I love the fit!Regarding fit: I’m a tall woman, 5’ 10”, and wear size 6 pants and typically a medium shirt. I wanted a slim fit, I was so tired of my first gi which was size 4 and so swimmy and oversized and cut for a man’s shoulders. I sized down to a size 2 for this one. It works! Pants are capris on me, and the gi is short in the arms, but those are desirable for my style martial art (Aikido). The gi could be a smidge longer (maybe I shouldn’t have dried it that one time on low heat). I hang the pants and gi to dry now, and they’re actually comfy and soft, not scratchy after hanging dry, or if slightly so it’s quickly gone with wearing. Pants are a smidge tight at first but actually loosen up with wearing after each laundering and then are perfect. I love the slim look. I will try another brand next for a longer gi, because it does ride up, but I still like it. Really, it’s very good for the price!! (I paid $55.)

It was a little large but a hot wash and dryer cycle it shrinks down quite a bit. So far it seems to be durable enough.

Thick, good material. The unbleached is nice. Generously sized.

I really wanted to love this judogi. I love the color, the name, the look and the comfort. All the other judokas in our club complimented me on it, so I was very happy with it. The quality looked good and it fit just right following the size guide. Wore it to 1 class and then the disappointment hit. After class was done and I began to fold it up I see the stitching broke and material started to fray on the side split. ONE CLASS! Now I gotta do a return, refund and repurchase. Stick to Fuji brand if you need a single weave training gi I guess.

Very sturdy and comfortable. As expected it shrank a bit when washed so it now fits perfectly. Expect to use this for a long time.

Not recomended

Ordered a Size 5 since there was no size chart, and I wear a Size 5 Fuji. This Size 5 is giant by comparison. I doubt it would shrink enough to fit. I was going to return it and reorder a Size 4, but the material is much lighter and seems like it’d be less durable than my other gis and thus not the best for Judo. I think it would be fine for Aikido or Karate.
