Kiriko Custom Dyed Kendogi Jacket with Pockets, Kokihanada, Sashiori Style A

Style A is a custom-dyed vintage kendogi in a deep navy indigo, with thick sashiori texture and three patch pockets: one on the chest and two large ones low on the front. It comes in S, M and M (Long), so you can choose between the standard length and a longer cut.

Kendogi are martial arts jackets meant for Kendo, a sport practicing swordsmanship with wooden swords. Kendo armor was introduced when the sport was introduced in the late Edo period, far after Samurai were abolished from Japan. Modern Kendogi are made in the same traditional styles as those adopted generations ago.

Kendogi are made of a thickly-embroidered cotton Sashiko fabric. Each is dyed a deep indigo that fades with time. The dye and the embroidery are both done to make the fabric more durable. Most jackets are made to last 5 or 10 years of daily practice.
