Design details

Collaboration with Arthur Frattini, black belt - 5th Dan.

This gi is the fruit of a partnership with aikido instructor Arthur Frattini: - Black belt - 5th Dan - President of the CODEP 93 FFAAA - Vice president of the Ligue IDF FFAAA - Regional UFA jury Check out Arthur's website: https://www.arthurfrattini.com/ The aim of this collaboration was to co-develop a gi specific to Aikido by paying attention to product design, user needs and Aikido codes.

The 500 aikidogi

To help you improve, we've created a gi that meets all your needs: correct sleeve length, no seam down the back, looseness at the shoulders, and a fitted waist so you can move with ease. And with the rice-grain and diamond patterns, it looks right at home in the dojo. And the bottoms? They're more durable at the knees for floor-based combat and have a traditional cord fastening at the waist.

Weight and composition

The thickness of the fabric is expressed in grams per square metre. This is called grammage. For aikido, it's best to have a gi made from durable fabric that holds up to both tight grips and the washing machine as well! That's why we chose a fabric in 65% cotton and 35% polyester: it holds up better to pulling and washing. And at 550 g/m², it's the perfect weight for intermediate aikidoka!

CHOOSING YOUR UNIFORM SIZE

Uniform sizes range from 160 to 190 cm. We recommend that you choose a uniform at least 5 cm larger than your height. For example, if you're 1.75 m tall, choose a 1.80 m uniform.Here's a guide to help you choose: - 160 cm: XXS-XS / Bottoms size 6-8 - 170 cm: S-M / Bottoms size 10-12 - 180 cm: L / Bottoms size 16 - 190 cm: XL / bottoms size 20 The sizes specified in this guide are based on a man's build. For a woman, go one size up.

How to take care of your uniform

We suggest airing out your uniform after every use. To keep it white, be sure to wash it regularly. One pointer? Wash on a cold wash for the first few times. After that, you can wash it in temperatures up to 30°C. When you dry it, it's best to let it air dry and never use the dryer.
