2. Tokaido karate gis are one of three premium quality (and premium priced) karate gis.
   
   The trinity of high-end karate gi brands are Tokaido, Hirota, and Shureido.
   
   Tokaido karate gis are made from a Japanese-made no. 10 canvas that's dyed a very light blue.
   
   These gis last forever, and they are beautifully made. My 1968 Tokaido gi has been the object of profound textile abuse ranging from bleaching to industrial dryers set on "nuke". I can still wear it, no problem.
   
   Tokaido traditional cut gis are the gis you'll see in the Best Karate series of books by Sensei Nakayama.
   
   These days, Tokaido, like many gi manufacturers, make a "kumite" cut gi, with shorter arms and legs and a looser fit body, and some people like those better.
   
   These gis generally run a little on the small size (gi sizes and dimensions differ between brands), so if you hit in the middle of a size chart, go with the larger size.
   
   The only drawback of a Tokaido gi is the price. On the other hand, you really ought not buy a Tokaido as your first gi. Initially, go with either a cheapie student gi, or get a good quality middle range gi (you can get a middleweight Meijin brand karate gi on the internet for about fifty bucks, and it's a very good gi, with a cut and cloth quality similar to a Tokaido traditional; Ki International also sells a gi for about fifty dollars).
   
   And after you know you'll be sticking with karate for a while, THEN you buy a Tokaido gi, and it'll last you a long, long time (make sure it's a Tokaido gi made in Japan; two of my buddies bought Tokaidos made in China, and I got to watch them self-destruct over a period of a few months).
