We would like to inform customers, based on recent information that we have been provided that we have changed the description of the Pinack dogi material on our website.

Previously, our website said that it was 100% cotton, based on what we had been told by the manufacturer.

However, the description now says:

... made from a proprietary, unique material utilizing a synthetic core completely wrapped in 100% cotton, giving the feel of natural cotton on the skin. 

This applies to both the Pinack for Kumite, and Pinack for kata, which has thicker cotton strands around the polyester core.

Please note that the material of these dogi has not changed, just the description.

As the material is  "proprietary",  and considered a "trade secret" by the Hirota company, information about the exact composition is not released.

Our apologies for any confusion or inconvenience caused.
