2 comments about Tokaido 12 oz. Arashi Uniform.
- I found the sizing to be quite different from the real Tokaido uniforms. Also, quality was noticeably lacking. A bit cheaper than the real ones. But I think people should be made aware of the fact that this is not a real made-in-Japan top-of-the-line Tokaido product. Not bad for a training uniform. But I wouldn't want to be seen at a grading, seminar or tournament with one of these...
- As you can tell from the other review of this gi, there is a vast divide between the quality of the made in Japan Tokaido gis, which are legendary AND deserve to be. The made in China Tokaido gis are not so hot. They tend to disintegrate over a fairly short period of time. And they aren't enough cheaper to make the decision to go with them a good economic decision.
Made in Japan 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.
Made in Japan 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.
Made in Japan 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.
Tokaido 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 category, 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).

- Be careful when selecting a size. Even though there is a child pictured and the size selection drop down is titled Children's Unisex Size, the sizing includes adult sizes. For example, I ordered a size 8, because my child wears a size 8. If you review the Martial Arts.com sizing chart, you can see that the size 8 is an ADULT size uniform.
IMPORTANT TO NOTE:
This company makes YOU PAY the SHIPPING to return an item!!
- This is a great uniform --so don't get me wrong.
However just because it is the less expensive one on this site doesn't mean you will not pay as much in the end. We ended paying more in shipping than it actually cost to ship the item to us. The company's response OH WELL!! we don't charge shipping by what it really cost to ship. So BUYER bewear!!

- This looks like a gi I would like to purchase. However, there is no way I can figure out to put a note about the size and color with the order. And given the seller's ratings I am a little worried about what might be shipped to me. This looks like a gi sold by Woldorf- does anyone know the brand or if it is the same?
