The Slim Cut version of Pinack Kumite und Tsubasa come with it by default. All other models have to be ordered custom made if you prefer your Dōgi with high waist.

Hirota´s Karate Belts

Color belts, black belts, tournament belts - there is a big variety of different obi and you can choose from different materials, lengths, widths and other specifications.

Hirota´s color belts are made of cotton. Red, blue or reversible tournament belts can be ordered in cotton, Yohachi cotton or satin. For your Kuro Obi, you can either pick cotton, Yohachi cotton, satin or silk.

All obi have in common that there is a core made of cotton. This core is coated with the material of your choice. If you want your obi embroidered, you will see the characters or letters only on the front, not inversely on the back. This is because at Hirota, each obi is manufactured individually and your embroidery is made before the belt is sewn together.

Have a look below which specifications are available for your Kuro Obi and tournament belt. Color belts come in normal width and standard length, you can also choose your label and embroidery.

How to find the right size for your Karate Gi? The best way is to take measurements from your actual Dōgi. Our YouTube video shows you where to put the measuring tape in order to find the right length of the seam. Already a few centimetres can change the wearing comfort noticeably. Please also take into account that the Karate gi might shrink (s. our "Washing Instructions" in the download section).
