The Tokaido Yakudo Dogi has a slightly blue shimmer, which I like. I also like the heavy cloth. When I performing a Kata it really makes that ‘snappy’ sound. The sleeves have already a shorter cut and the pants are in my opinion a ‘normal’ length cut. The Dogi fits very well and also looks very good. It looks like custom made. For that good look, you need the right size. Mr. Abassalty helps, to get the right size. I can recommend this Dogi.
