The Hayate CF-1 is a traditional style of Karate Gi made to exacting standards, providing comfort and freedom of movement for defined and dignified kata. Using Mitsuboshi's tried and tested #11 all cotton canvas (medium-weight), the CF-1 is incredibly comfortable, but thanks to a special treatment possesses a beautiful white appearance that will not fade.
Through Mitsuboshi's 65 years of experience at the forefront of the industry, they have designed a traditional Karate gi that is optimised for everyday training. The traditional canvas provides weight and definition to your movements whilst the cut and treatment make it exceptionally comfortable to move in.
The #11 canvas is robust and can stand up to day in day out training, remianing supple and comfortable, putting in hours of work alongside you. Furthermore it feels light to wear so you can focus on natural movements and beautiful form.
This Gi is made at Mitsuboshi's specialist workshop in Iwate, Japan. Relax Fit and Slim Fit are also available. If you have special preferences, your Gi can be fully tailored.

First, a huge Thank You to Hamid for his professionalism in handling my recent purchase of 2 Hayate CF-1 uniforms! The order was placed and then the bottom fell out of the world with the Pandemic. Hamid kept in contact on a regular basis and held the uniforms until they could be shipped. My wife and I are anxious to try out the CF-1 gi. The cut and material are terrific! I cannot recommend Hamid and Kuroobiya enough for those discerning Karateka looking for the best products from Japan!
I've been wearing a Shureido NW3, Daedo Bunkai Pro and a Hirota Takumi for most of my trainings. And I felt like I needed cheaper Gi that would still make the cut for normal everyday training or when I'm teaching. This was my first Hayate Gi. My first impression was that it's really comfortable. I dare say better than the Gis i've worn so far. They felt like PJs for real LOL. Ofcourse, this is a Full Cotton Build, and for the price, I wasn't expecting much. I'd say that it's roughly similar in performance with the Daedo Shiai or Hirota MH11. But this one, i'd give it an extra thumbs up for being on the more comfortable side. Makes me interested in trying out their NF2 one day.
