Traditional craftsmanship meets modern design. We start with authentic vintage Kendo jackets and customize them with thoughtful details to create a truly unique statement piece.
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. The custom dye and embroidery are both done to make the fabric more durable. Most jackets are made to last 5 or 10 years of daily practice.
