DON'T SEE YOUR SIZE? RESERVE YOUR HOOD-GI BY CLICKING HERE.
IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT SIZING: The Hood-Gi is “Fitted”so if you prefer a more roomy fit, or are in between sizes, it is best to go with the larger size. For reference, the gentleman in the photos is 5'9" 160lbs, and is wearing a Medium. As an example, if you wear a medium in most brands and prefer fitted clothing, then a medium Hood-Gi should be fine.

Love this hoodie. The material is very nice, the design is great. Love the gold inside. This is gonna be perfect for the fall months
Matt C.
Great quality and very comfortable!
ERIC G.
This is a nicely made casual jacket. Heavy fabric which should wear like iron. Roomy fit and comfortable. I wear an XL and this one is a perfect fit. Quick delivery. Very Happy.
Michael C.
The quality of this is PHENOMENAL!! It looks great and is heavy enough for me to wear in fall and spring with just a t shirt! The whole thing is quality from the garment to the customer service. I had to exchange for a larger size and it was simple and straight forward.
Zachary
It's 100 degrees so I've still only got to try it on. Really like the gold liner. I can't wait to wear it this winter. Nice work budo bros.

I use a wheelchair most of the time, and the wrap around closure of this jacket is ideal for keeping it away from the wheels. The fit is roomy enough to push a chair while walking a dog, so you should all be fine training in it. It is a handsome piece, extra nice material inside and out. I may not be who this was meant for, but it is great.
Max R.
Originally ordered a size too big,
Was worried but the return and exchange process was simple and easy and very pleased with my Hood Gi!
William B.
I love everything about it.

Great quality I've never seen pockets on a Gi before.
Judith M.
Great fit, amazing quality, and uniquely designed. Love it!
paul b.
Shipped quick quality is awesome it looks great.
Michelle L.
Everything about the experience was superbe. From the customer service to the product. The heavyweight feel of the material is perfect. Nothing else like it on the market and just what I needed with the for before and after practice. Not to mention it just looks amazing. Love wearing it. As someone that practices FMA as well as Iaido I’m looking forward to the same level of quality with the other products I plan to order.
Michael T.
the 2XL was a bit tight in the chest and shoulder, the 3XL is a much better fit, sleeves are long enough to turn back, showing the lining. i am hoping to see the return of the phenolic sticks. better yet a phenolic bo, 1-1/8 or so, the stick bags are awesome. even if the business model doesn't support bo sales, there would be a long line for a bo bag.
Juan D.
The quality of the hood gi looks feels and it looks great
Steven T.
I love my new jacket. Can’t wait til it’s cool enough here to wear it.
Christopher d.
Thanks again, the Keiogi is great. Elegant yet strong, wonderful design con-temporizing martial history with today. I plan on wearing this all the time. Looking stylish and maintaining my connection with the roots of martial tradition and discipline. I may have retired from daily training and have been forced because of a chronic injury but I still hold true to the disciplines of my tradition.
Oscar
Feels great
Max P.
I have been leary of buying clothing online but I was pleasantly surprised with this purchase. The jacket is high quality, fits great and is very comfortable. I am very happy with my purchase.
Stephen F.
I adore my hood gi. Just took it out for a hiking trip in unseasonably cool weather and I can tell it will make an excellent moderate temperature jacket as well as leaving room to layer. I love everything about the jackets look and features and I'm telling my friends to get one!
Richard R.
I am so glad that I found Budo Brothers! I love every piece I ordered. The Hooded Gi is great !!! I have been involved in the martial arts for 39 years. Karate, Jiu-Jitsu and Kali ! I train every day ! I don’t have a Dojo anymore but I still practice to keep myself as sharp as me swords and my knives.
Thank You
Rich Riccardi
Chris/kari F.
Such a cool gi/hoodie…thank you
Billy S.
The Red Hood-Gi looks great! I'm about to start a collection on Hood-Gi's from now on!
Ming L.
Fantastic and rather unique jacket with very innovative magnet snap closures and well-placed pockets. Wouldn't mind if you produced another iteration that just had the old gi ties. Maybe even consider a sleeve-less version with some lining around the shoulders, collar and hems of the jacket. The lining is silky smooth and very comfortable as well. Great product!
Michael Paul C.
Great customer service! Ordered an XL but it turns out I’m a L. They shipped it quickly
Ahmad E.
The material that the Gi is constructed of is of high quality. It can be worn as a fall jacket depending on where on lives due to its weight.
Clement
I’m crying now I love it!!
Joshua C.
This product is awesome. The material seems like it will outlast me. The liner, I got the midnight, stands out nicely. The first time I wore it I received tons of questions and compliments.
Matthew B.
Absolutely love it!
Nathan V.
Great quality, XL size was a perfect fit for me. Design and feel are equally comfortable as they are functional. It’s like wearing your top but not. If that makes sense.
Brad M.
Fast shipping….fits well, quality of item and packaging far exceeded my expectations!
Joe B.
A stylish and well made hoodie jacket. Great material selection. I wanted the gold lining, too bad the only available option is the red lining. Don’t get me wrong, the red one I got look sick in person. I can’t wait for autumn to rock this jacket outside. It’s 100 degrees out during the day so I have to wait a couple more months to show it off.
Turhan B.
love the look and feel of this hoodie, and shipping was faster than the first time I ordered with them.
Jeremie P.
So far it's great. Very comfortable.
I love how it's cut and how it sits on me.
I can't wait to wear it more and more.
It looks really well made. The stitch work is very nice and clean.
Thanks budo brothers
Bodo B.
I can recommend the Budo Brothers without reservation. The quality, communication and service are overwhelming. Keep up the good work Budo Brothers Team
Jared S.
Well, made and comfortable. Love it, thanks
Kirk H.
I've bought 2 of these; they're amazing.
Shaun O.
Love it great for outdoor training especially in Ireland, feels really comfortable to train in and love the look of it too. Very happy with the purchase
Ann Z.
Jacket is warm and looks great. 220 pounds, 5’ 10”, and I got the XXL which gave me a little room in the jacket. Quality is excellent and so is the customer service. Will definitely order from them again.
Beverley B.
Great quality. Fast delivery.
Turhan
Absolutely beautiful
Jose S.
Great products and really quick shipping. The Gi Kimono Hoodie is beautiful and fit just right, awesome materials. Can’t wait to show it off to my friends. Thanks Budo Brothers !
David G.
I almost want to give everyone MORE photos... because this thing is just FANTASTIC. It is a truly exception hoodie and immediately became one is my favorite items of clothing. I've been very pleased... for over a month, now (I think?), ever since it arrived!
It is comfortable... temperature balanced for all but extremes of weather. Functional! I can train in this... and have... when occasion has arisen.
The SHURIKEN/pen pockets inside could be a scosh deeper.... my preferred style are a traditional one that is a bit longer than your typical 'dime-store' variety... but even at that... the pocket conceals and carries them comfortably without impeding access... so that's a win!
The construction of this thing is TOP-notch... the sleeves when folded to 'crowd'...or 'gather' just a bit at the seam- but it only negligibly breaks the otherwise nice, square, flatness of the fold (as seen in the image). ... but I Tom that only happened after my daughter inadvertently the it in the dryer on slightly too high a temp... couple washes later it has become less noticeable.
So - if you're getting one of these (and why wouldn't you?) - do follow the wash instructions.
The classic velcro - though of good quality and well installed - is a little bit of a nuisance. The hem with the velcro can occasionally catch on things in my left pocket. So if you could let the profile of the velcro backing it would help with the bigger issue here. (Or if my pocket clips were tighter maybe?) That's the one enhancement I would recommend.... there are better 'velcro-like' fasteners out there now. I discovered this when we were changing to multi-cams in the Service. So, it's not a problem of the design or execution of this garment... just a typical problem with velcro.
Other than that, there are no 'hotspots' or places in which the seams or lining become irritating. Whoever is pouring these things together knows what they're doing and the material selection is on POINT.
Fit was as expected... maybe a bit snug if you're layering up too much under it. I may be getting a size larger for winter (because I DO layer up...a LOT.) I typically wear a t-shirt, vest, and button down... and a medium accommodates all this without restricting movement. (6' 155 - 165 lbs/~72~ kg)
The magnetic button are outSTANDing! And sometimes even snap into place on their own. Excellent!
I like the paneled approach to the hood construction... makes the hood hold shape and keeps peripheral vision mostly clear... important for situational awareness.
Finally.... this thing is SIERRA HOTEL SEXY! I'm a firm believe man makes the clothes - the clothes NEVER made the man.... but this garment compliments this particular man impeccably.
Great work!
Julian Z.
I love the hoodie. It is a great material, it feels good. The only problem is that I ordered a size to small. I would definitely order more though. I really like the colors that you have.
George
Fits amazing great quality and super comfortable
Shane J.
Was going to send it back. Gave it away instead.
Robert
Very, very high quality jacket/hoddie/Gi! What a great idea! I have gotten so many compliments on this. I’m 6’2” 260lbs. Athletic build and the 3XL is a really comfortable fit.
Edwin
I like it ,is really cool and comfortable, I like the style
Benjamin
Comfortable, well built, high quality craftsmanship I will probably buy another.
Keith M.
I really like it. It's very stylish!
Lawrence
Love it. I wish had more designs to choose from.
wayne y.
All my senseis love the gi
John
Beautiful! Hooded gi.
Joshua N.
Man, what can I say that you can't see!!! This jacket fits perfect, as well as looks fanominal. Great hood size. These magnetic snaps are amaizing. Over very pleased withe quality of fabric and design.
Generand A.
I’m 5’8” 175lbs..wear a 42 regular suit, medium regular fit or slim large button down dress shirt normally. I ordered a Large and it was spot on!! Great build, fitted look, easy to move around in. Will see how it does in cool weather but overall a great design and fit!
ANDREW
I’m a large and ordered a XL to be roomy, but a large would have been just fine.
But I do like my extra room!
James Y.
Awesome sticks and jacket.
Joel
Very solid fabric, very comfortable, great purchase…sensational
Ethan
Perfect fit. Quality construction
Alvin B.
It came earlier than I expected. The hood gi is well made, stitches appears to be durable. I ordered a “Small” and fits me just the way I like it. I am 5’7” and 150 lbs. If you like it a bit loose move 1 size up.
Junior C.
Should have gotten it in XL instead the hood is a little bit to big and wide
Christopher C.
This is a super cool concept; however the design and execution is lacking. The front flap does not line up over the middle making putting your hands in the hoody pocket a bit awkward and offset to the left. The magnetic snap buttons are cool, but not that easy to attach.
William
I love it.
Ron L.
After an easy and quick exchange for a larger size, I have worn it twice and received compliments both times.
Gary
Great concept!
Daniel T.
The hooded gi is exceptional quality. Heavier than a standard gi, it can be used as a light jacket, but is thin enough to roll or push up the sleeves if you get too warm. Material is excellent and stiching is high quality and strong. Fit is perfect, I'm 5'9" 130 lbs and bought the small as I like thighter fits. Pockets are everywhere and perfect size for phone, folding knives, throwing knives, etc. making this a very verstile piece of clothing. I will definitely be buying more items in the future!
Edmund
Very stylish, excellent quality
wayne y.
We all made and stylish
thomas a.
You get exactly what you paid for. I'm impressed with the quality of the materials. More important my it was my actual size. I'm 6-1 280 and it was sized and proportioned for my build .... extremely rare. I'll be purchasing more from them. Keep up the great work!
Dave L.
the quality is incredible. I love it, I practice ninjutsu and it's perfect for me. Thank you for the sports bag and the bandana, incredible service. Thank you Budo Brother
Timothy B.
Sizing didn't work for me but the garment is high quality and I'm happy with the purchase, fit and finish.
Josh Q.
So love the design, and love the feel of it, but there's only one issue. I'm a bit too fat. It was something I worried about when the website said "Fitted design" which usually means made for the average person. I think once i lose some weigh, ill actually be able to close all the buttons, but in the meantime, 2 buttons will be enough. :)
Olivier S.
Fantastic hoodie ! Hot enough for a chilly day and pretty stylish with just the right number of pockets. I just used it for the first time as I had to teach Jeet Kune Do and it was a perfect fit, you still have all your mobility while having a sturdy material and the magnetic clasps will not hurt you opponent during light sparring. I picked my usual size it's a great fit. I highly recommend it !
James C.
Very well made, fits and feels great. Will definitely recommend to everyone thinking about getting one. Very well worth it
Jose C.
Good material similar to a regular Gi, for any martial artist or Japanese culture lover is amazing, really beautiful and classic
Sandy M.
Team was able to change colours after ordering great service
Joseph M.
Very impressive quality and durability. Stiching and materials are of high quality. It it both attractive and functional, not to mention the nice drawstring backpack that come with it.
M Haidar P.
Super sick! Love the inside pattern and quality was super high. The magnetic clips is super reliable too!
Will
Awesome look and comfortable. Not much in terms of thermal value and velcro inside damages liner quickly (compay addressed and will be replacing with magnetic button)
Chris E.
I love this Gi. I wear it every day just as my typical jacket and I get a lot of compliments and questions about it. Budo Brothers were kind enough to include a free lanyard and mask as well. The quality is incredible, definitely worth the cost. I’ve already convinced 2 other friends to get their own!
Michael S.
Excellent craftsmanship. You can feel the high quality.
Lance R.
Great customer service and I love the hoodie! Seems like good quality and heavy. Could be cheaper as it is a bit pricey but otherwise absolutely awesome!! Highly recommend!
Daniel W.
The jacket is great. I love the look and feel. Can't wait until the material relaxes a bit. One issue I have is the pocket space. Could use deeper/larger pockets. Other then that, it's a well made jacket.
Armand B.
The hoodie is fantastic! The customer service was extremely helpful, friendly, and took care of a size exchange quickly and professionally!
I'll definitely buy future products from Budo Brothers!
Rixen
This has become my daily coat that I store art supplies in when on the go. I know it's meant for what they designed it for but I found uses for all the pockets with my paints and pens. Looking forward to some kind of matching pants
Michael W.
Super happy with the product. It's very high quality, style is authentic and i was extremely pleased with everything i recieved in my order. The customer service was great as well, they were quick to help me make a last minute change to my order. I would absolutely recommend this company and their products.
Jermaine R.
I love the hoodie ! I'm gonna get the t shirt, arm bands and straps
Frederick W.
First this is made so so well, from the material to the stitching. It is a heavy textile and is still soft and comfortable. I wore it for the first time on a windy day and it blocks the wind. I got so many compliments on this. I’m 5’8” 246 pounds 2XL fits a slight bit snug in the middle. I’m gonna just lose the weight to fit. It’s that amazing of a garment.
Jacob B.
Good quality and a nice cut!
Jesse S.
One of the best jacket I have ever own
Joseph
Great quality and well designed. Love all the various pockets.
Alek S.
Ordered a size small and fits perfectly. Good feel, quality material.
David U.
Absolutely amazing fabric and build. I haven’t tried washing it so I don’t know if it’ll bleed but it feels good.
Watch out for size as I typically wear 2XL but needed 4XL. Now after all my complaining I think I’ll buy another one with gold interior
Christopher M.
I love the fabric, I like the design, but it's a little bit to tight for my big belly. ;) good product!!
Lilya S.
Well made. Comfortable. Feels like quality and should last a while. Already my favourite hoodie.
Linnell S.
One I would like to thank you for a speedy delivery and the quality of this garment is incredible text your feels like a ghee a judo ghee from back in the '80s Maybe with more where I'll break it in or I'll just go for the next size up but it's comfortable and I'm really enjoying it hope the purchase for the things from the company instruction videos on some of your equipment just a brief walkthrough would be appreciated keep up the good work guys stay focused you're on the right

Post workout with this epic @budobrothers hoodie. Good for covering up all the bruises after getting tossed in to a shark pit of jujitsu class. Check these out if you can. - Ed
