I would like to say a massive thank you to customer services for recomending this dogi. The reason being since wearing it for the first week of its wear it has easily become my favourite dogi over the hirota (of which I have had a number of different models) as well as the tokaido. The only thing that causes great confusion for me is to why on earth the tokyodo dogi are so much cheaper in price in comparison to the other leading brands when the stitching is on a league of its own, the cut is perfect for any shape or size and the feel is to die for. I will be ordering more tokyodo dogi to replace my hirota and tokaido dogi. Thank you Kuroobiya.
