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.

Product made with amazing quality..
Fit is perfect
I’m 5’7” 200lbs I bought a large and love it !
Jeffrey L.
Erik was the best! I ordered the wrong size and he was very pleasant and professional with making the exchange. The replacement Hood GI fits well and looks amazing! Thank you so much! I would definitely recommend purchasing products from Budo Brothers!
Jorge S.
The only thing, and it is on me, I miscalculated the size, other than that, it is awesome!
Allen
Fits great, looks great. It's definitely the most unique hoodie I own.
Luis
The texture and fabric feels awesome, the design lives up to its name. Would definitely recommend this item to a friend
Lindsey G.
I love this Hood-gi! It's a super high-quality product, it fits great, and it's sexy as anything. Thank you Budo Brothers!!! You guys are great.
William P.
Wonderful quality. Worth every penny. Runs a bit small, fortunately I’m on a diet.
Orlando E.
Fits perfectly, has a nice weight.
Braiden
Bought it for a friend. Great quality and an eye catching, unique look.
NIKLAS
Loving the jacket! I've been a judoka for more than 15 years, and the gi is a part of a good bulk of my life. Had a gi material about 10 years ago, and I've outgrown it and have been looking for a new one, and that's when I found the hood-gi!
Love the inner layer, allowing some stylish flair to the jacket, as well as the quick attaching magnet buttons! Comfy and warm, and very happy with the purchase!
Manuel
It's absolutely amazing. I thought it was awesome, and my wife and I both think it looks great! The sizing is a little confusing, but I'm glad the return process is so easy and straightforward.
Luke h.
This is technically my 4th hoodgi. I started all the way back with version 1. The quality never disappoints! I’m loving the midnight color liner. Glad to represent the brand all the way here in Michigan !
Mark C.
Absolutely love this hoodie well built and very functional for business casual with a bunch of ninja pockets.
Mark C.
Love the style and fit , I normally wear a xl but , I ordered a 2x and it fits comfortably.
I would put a bottom at the top where the material crosses on the chest and a bottom at the very bottom edge or some Velcro.
Overall a great quality product with lots of Ninja pockets!
Pierre B.
Superb material.
The hood gi has a superb, clean cut.
Hoody
It's not cheap, but it feels like it's worth every penny.
Normally, I wear a medium size, but I took a large, which fit like a medium.
I live in Canada, where it's cold, so unless you want it super tight, go one size up from your usual T-shirt size.
Aidan C.
When the box arrived I knew it was going to be special. The jacket was secured in a plastic bag inside another. This told me this is a company that prides themselves on their products. The jacket itself is perfect with excellent material and design. It was Christmas all over again. I will no doubt be bullying more from this excellent shop.
anthony t.
This hoodie is perfect! Good quality, great martial look, and enough pockets to keep warm and or hide concealable weapons.
RONNIE C.
You guys never disappoint. Love the attention to detail and quality of materials and work
Marcelo G.
Amazing clothes. Very good design. Comfortable. And very good quality !!!
Keep going !!
Bruno
Great quality , genius design and love the neck design go with :)
Abraham S.
Nice fit. A little stiff at first but as expected it wears better the more you are in it.
Joshua C.
This is my second hooded gi from this company. I wore one last week traveling and there were so many people asking me about what company I got it from. Its comfortable and warm enough. The red lined Gi is hoing to turn heads.
Randolph P.
Very well made and comfortable
Ander M.
Just freakin’ ridiculous. The presentation, the speedy delivery, the detail, the detail, THE DETAIL. I bought this thinking, yea I’m one of those martial arts geeks so of course the analytics put this on my feed and reading about the Budo Brothers, of course this was good copywriting and storytelling, yada yada..No. When I carried this package home, I noticed the weight and when I opened it and saw the little extras it came with, I was really taken aback. And this before trying it on!
You can feel the craftsmanship around you and when I checked myself in the mirror with it, I felt right. Great sizing suggestions and responsive staff, too. I am now such a fan of these guys!
Jackie C.
It is a Xmas gift so the person I’m giving it too hasn’t received it yet but the quality is excellent. I know he will love it!
Johnmark L.
Its a bit snug. I think a 2XL would be a better fit for me... how do I exchange?
jesse A.
Fast shipping. Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship.
JOSH U.
It's awesome! I love it!
Michael T.
great product great service
jesse
Absolutely amazed at the quality! Beautifully executed piece.
matthew z.
I was very curious to see what the quality of this attire would be as the design really caught my attention. Now that i finally have it in my hands, i can tell right off the bat that this thing is solidly made and feels great on the skin, especially considering i have a brand new forearm tattoo.
Very happy with my purchase!
Michael T.
how much do i like this? enough to buy a second. a coworker liked mine so much she bought her boyfriend one and a couple toys
Robert B.
Looks bada$$!! Same material as my Kenpo gi. Excellent stitching, Fits well across the shoulders. I’m ready for my post-apocalyptic close up!
Donald W.
Love the product!!! Planning on buying a couple more jackets. Well done!
James H.
Beautiful to look at, and comfortable to wear. Plenty of small "surprise" pockets here and there.
Highly recommend it.
Kevin H.
Nice! Excellent craftsmanship. Heavy weight, love it.
Andrew W.
Good quality fabric, good pockets I found 2 hidden pockets by mistake haha
Michael C.
My Hood gi came in and I love it!! Fits great and is extremely well made. I can definitely wear this in fall and spring alone and layer it up in the winter.
Lots of pockets and the whole thing looks awesome and feels great.
Customer Service was awesome as well!!! I needed to swap sizes and I was thrilled with the service.
Bradley F.
Extremely comfortable fitting coat. Warm and made of good, thick material. Seems durable. Customer support is outstanding with this company. I am most pleased with this outerwear and enjoy the style of it. Thank you.
john v.
This was my first time ordering from Budo-Bros. I was impressed right out of the gate before I received my Hooded GI. I asked questions, and the responses were very fast. The quality of the GI is top-notch. This is not for Training. It's thick and warm. I positively mean this as I didn't purchase it for any training. Just like the style and color. and the Bronze Crusher, everything is 100% top-notch.
Stuart D.
The lining is even better than before, breathes and feels great against the skin. I'm going to add a little velcro fastener at the bottom corner of the outside of the hood-gi as that little free corner of fabric just keeps on flipping out at a 90° angle. Some day making one in red with black lining would be awesome (HINT)
Robert B.
I really like this gi! Definitely surpassed my expectations and the neck gaiter and storage bag was a nice touch. If you're on the fence just pull the trigger!
Casper M.
Amazing Gi Jacket. Feels like you're ready to do a round of jiu jitsu but also have that casual japanese kimono vibe. Perfect for keeping warm or wear openly for some cool feel.
Jeremy F.
Good material. Sized right. Lots of extras, nice pockets and liner is comfortable. The outside being as tough and durable as a regular jiu-jitsu/judo gi is perfection. Now you guys need to have other colors (preferably brown or gray) so I have an excuse to buy another.
Jonah R.
This item is very heavy duty! I am very impressed with the quality of materials as well as the actual fit of the item. When it is snapped, it does feel like a traditional gi. VERY WELL DONE!
Paul M.
It fits perfectly. Weighty but not cumbersome. This was a great find.
Ben U.
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.
Frank A.
Sharp Look
Excellent Fit
Prompt Delivery
Bradley F.
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.
ANGEL R.
Super sick great buy
D. R.
looks and feels great. Just now wondering how to wash it? lol
Nicholas L.

Shane T.
Excellent quality and fast arrival!! Thank you!!
Stephen E.
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.

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
