SHORT OVERALL REVIEW

The two layer aisome cotton keiko neither too thick. Thick enough to offer protection while absorbing sweat effectively. Weaved using Bushu special weaving technique, it offers soft texture and nice weight that the fabric flow naturally giving a smart look. With Bushu original technology, it has managed to create something closed to handstitched kendogi characteristics and texture with this double layered kendo wear. Aisome suppresses the smell of sweat with its anti-bacterial effect.

In Japan, cotton keikogi and hakama is expected to be use during even such as competition, practicing outside (degeiko) and grading. It is said, wearing a nice cotton keikogi and hakama is a sign of respect towards the opponent, and a sign of good grooming. Hence, this keikogi would be suitable not only for daily practice, but even during grading, competition, and Degeiko.
