Paying homage to the roots of Judo and Jiu Jitsu, the Sanabul Vintage Collection was created to capture the essence of a gi originating from a previous era The fundamental component of the gi is the inherent beauty of unbleached cotton yarn loved by traditionalists.

We’ve been told it feels like your favorite worn-in sweatshirt Please note that since the fabric we use for the Vintage Collection is not bleached or dyed, naturally occurring color or shade variations within the jacket and pants might occur. This only adds to the look and feel of the gi
