jiu jitsu kimono | The essentials by rubber brand

The daily training kimono: 400 GSM pearl weave jacket, 10 oz (250 GSM) ripstop pants and a design with subtle black-and-white contrasts. Available in white and black.

What sets it apart

It's our most understated line. High-density embroidery in black and white, placed symmetrically, with no large graphics or color. The design isn't trying to stand out: it's trying not to get old after two hundred training sessions.

The 400 GSM jacket is the sweet spot: enough density to withstand daily gripping without the extra weight of a 450. The pants are the same 10 oz ripstop used on the Hirosuga.

No shrinking

The cotton goes through heat pre-shrinking before sewing, which stabilizes the pearl weave and stops the kimono from losing size in the wash. Don't buy a size up to compensate: there's no need.

Care

Wash inside out in cold water (max. 30°C) with mild detergent. No bleach, no fabric softener (it alters the consistency of the collar), no tumble dryer and no iron. Air dry, away from direct sunlight.
