Despite the notorious Yakuza reputation, there’s an undeniable allure in the intricate codes and rich symbolism of their culture:
In yakuza hierarchies, the OYABUN(親分), or “parent figure,” stands as the ultimate authority, a leader who commands respect and loyalty. The oyabun-kobun relationship is akin to a familial bond, where the kobun (子分), or “child figure,” pledges unwavering allegiance in exchange for protection and guidance. This dynamic is deeply rooted in traditional Japanese values, emphasizing loyalty, honor and duty
The 350gsm Pro Comp Pearl Weave top is matched with a unique 10oz gsm Diamond Weave Ripstop Pant that gives the overall uniform a sleek feel much needed duing competition.
Sturdy yet comfortable, comfort enough to not impede any range of motion, snug enough to avoid those pesky opponent’s grips.
The internal GI jacket is sublimated with our unique Half Sumo Irezumi style artwork inspired by the OYABUN lore, and a handmade screen print has been reproduced inside the jacket. This print will fade with time, giving the kimono a timeless vintage look to it.
Various high definition patches, embroideries and prints decorate the outer part of the jacket and pants.
We have also included a unique high quality Gi bag, with a comfortable large handle to carry the Gi around with ease. This bag is fully machine washable so you can just throw it in the wash along with the GI, and have a fresh clean bag after every roll!
The GI fits like a modern tapered GI - It is pre-shrunk, but please allow for an additional 4% to 8% natural fabric shrinkage after the first few washes.
