Keiko Sports recommends washing your new kimono in a cool wash and hang drying the kimonos to keep it from shrinking too much on the sleeve and pant lengths.
Keiko Gis are 100% Cotton and preshrunk on the body, but we give you the option to shrink up the sleeves and pants length up to 2 inches, for those with a shorter reach. A warmer wash and dry will help to shrink up your gi.
Tip: Be sure to wash and dry your New Kimono/Gi before sewing on any patches.
DO NOT SOAK, BLEACH, MACHINE DRY OR DRY CLEAN.
Our Kimonos are known for having a slighlty longer lapel (or body) to help with lapel chokes and more importantly to make sure that your kimonos is IBJJF Competition Approved.
