The Hood-Gi is the ultimate fusion of martial arts tradition and modern style. Designed for warriors on and off the mat, this unique piece combines the durability of a gi with the comfort of a hoodie, making it perfect for training, casual wear, or repping the martial arts lifestyle wherever you go.
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.

At first I saw the bag and I thought it was a normal hoody with drawstrings and the company logo. I found out it was a bag and opened it up revealing the gi. It's heavy and great quality. Very comfortable as well.
Great investment
Jeri B.
I ordered this for my son. He loves it and it fits perfectly!
Eric M.
It's as expected. Thanks! Shame you went to the cloth handkerchiefs over the tube-scarves, but hey. It's bonus, can't complain about free stuff!
Andrea V.
The best I ever shop
Stephen B.
Great quality, well made and accurate to the sizing, though was slightly larger than expected. Will shrink a little with washing I expect.
Jonathan H.
I'm not going to type the same praise as in the video in full.
Just more hidden pockets please!
Otherwise, 5 shuriken.

Quality is magic!

Beautiful , well made, admired and commented upon nearly every time I wear it.
This is my 2nd Hood-Gi, purchased as a gift for a friend, and an initial problem of the wrong lining color being sent out to me was quickly attended to and resolved.
Thank you for supplying such fine gear AND top-notch professional and courteous customer service, Budo Brothers!
Alexander F.
Love the material, incredibly comfortable, quick response from the company, can't really ask for more! Thank you budo bros!
Skyler F.
What a high-quality, unique Hoodie/Jacket! I only wish they had in a 4X. I was also surprised by the high-quality sling bag it was shipped in. What an awesome little bonus. Thank you, everyone at Budo Brothers.
Alton R MacBain M.
Well made and as advertised
Albert P.
The product is Great, very good service and quick delivery. Thanks
Mats F.
Fantastic.
Keith S.
Always a great experience. All my purchases have been. The products are high quality as advertised and there's always a little extra thrown into the packages like a bandana. I am extremely happy I was able to snatch up a HoodGi right when they became available. It's my go to coat for trips to my dojo or when I want comfort.
Mark F.
A great idea and really comfy and unique jacket/gi. Not too heavy, not too light... just nice. Great quality and some nice hidden additions that are very usefull. Very happy with this purchase... as with previous orders great customer service n delivery.
Ty guys :)
Morgan F.
Fits like a dream!!!
It’s everything I’ve ever wanted since I started training martial arts back in 1994.
It’s comfy, it leaves plenty of room to move and blends with a lot of my other gear seamlessly.
I look forward to putting it to a multitude of uses
Milton Z.
I very was impressed how well made it is!!!! Would buy it again!!
Jesse C.
I'm 5 feet, 10 inches tall, and weigh in at 280. I'm a big boy. I bought a 3XL Midnight and it fits perfectly. It's super comfy, bends where you need it to, and keeps me warm in below freezing temperatures. I cannot recommend this jacket enough! 12/10, AMAZING quality!
Jorge A.
Buena calidad y estoy súper contento
Al G.
Gorgeous Hood-Gi!
Wayne "BEAST 7" M.
Budo Brothers I couldn’t be more impressed with this Hood-Gi jacket! From the moment I put it on, I could feel the craftsmanship and attention to detail. The material is durable yet incredibly comfortable, giving me full mobility without sacrificing strength. The hood adds a modern, stylish touch that stands out while still keeping that classic martial arts feel.
Whether I’m training, traveling, or just out and about, this jacket performs perfectly. It’s warm, lightweight, and built to last. I’ve gotten compliments every time I wear it!
If you’re looking for top-tier quality, comfort, and style all in one, this Hood-Gi jacket is hands down the best choice. Highly recommended!
mark m.
Second one in the collection and it is still of superior quality.
Thank you for a great product.
Marites D.
Great Company. I purchased the midnight color Gi hoodie for my son for the holidays. I know he’s going to love it. Great quality fabric used and great communication with customer service.
Brandin J.
I got it slightly larger than my normal size for a looser fit and it still looks great! I was worried about that, but since rolling the sleeves actually works on this jacket, I didn’t even have to worry about them being a bit long. Great product!
Franciscus T.
Great stuff!
Alton R MacBain M.
As advertised and well made
Angelo C.
I just picked up my second Budo Brothers Hood-GI, this time in the Midnight color, and honestly — it’s as good as I remembered. In fact, I had to buy another because the quality and fit are that impressive.
Right out of the bag, the Midnight color hits perfectly: deep, rich, and versatile. It’s subtle but stylish — the kind of hoodie that looks just as good at the gym as it does out grabbing coffee. Compared to my first one, this color adds a sleek edge without sacrificing the classic Hood-GI feel.
The quality is exactly why I came back for another. The fabric is thick but breathable, and it holds up exceptionally well through washes without stretching or fading. It’s clearly built with performance — and longevity — in mind. The fit is just right: athletic without being restrictive, roomy but not sloppy. I’ve worn this thing through workouts, errands, and travel, and it’s become one of my go-to pieces.
What really stands out is how comfortable it feels. Whether I’m warming up before training or layering up on a chilly evening, this hoodie delivers comfort without weighing me down.
I don’t usually repurchase the same garment twice, but the Hood-GI is genuinely worth it. If you’re on the fence about grabbing one — especially in the Midnight color — trust me, it’s worth every penny. This isn’t just another piece of gym wear — it’s a staple I’m genuinely glad to own, twice.
Highly recommended.
Taisei S.
The customer service from Budo Bros was amazing! I asked when the hood-gi would be restocked a few months ago, and when it came back into stock, they remembered that I had asked and messaged me privately.
I really like the hood-gi too. It's a little heavier than it looks (in a good way), and its comfortable while still allowing for ventilation.
Thomas L.
Comfortable, it seems well constructed, and arrived swiftly. I anticipate that it will see a lot of use.
Ryan N.
Amazing quality!
Benjamin
This has an amazing feel. Great for training in and hanging out in. 2nd time buying it.
Victor C.
Better quality than I expected looks great and would absolutely recommend.
Jon C.
This is my second hood gi, love it.
Darryl S.
Love this piece!!
Highly advise ordering 1 size bigger than usual. I am a true 3xl and order a 4X. Even so the lower buttons are a snug fit.
Geat quality piece.
Kevin L.
Extremely high quality, phenomenal customer service.
My original is still going strong. This is my 2nd hood gi, a gift for my sensei.
Jay J.
High standards recieve superior results.
The Hood-gi is built with a great fabric. The tailoring results in a performance fit. Superior abrasion resistant fabric provides a substantial level of protection. Extremely pleased with the Product and Company.
Benyamin C.
Self taught martial artist here. Definitely fits my style!
Jason S.
SUPERB IN EVERY WAY!!!
Jacket, Packaging and RAPID Shipping.

Hawk Y.
OMG!! Amazing quality! So comfortable! Honestly, wore it around the house and to run errands all day! Didn’t take it off until going to bed. :)
Jordan H.
Customer Service was great and helpful throughout the whole process!
Ryan I.
Boss ass bitch
Fred V.
Great product. fits well, Good for solo training practice.
Also looks great.
Keith L.
Unique looking and comfortable
Jared O.
Really cool, original design that feels like a gi. It fits like one and wears like one so the material is kind of stiff when it first arrives. But it's warm and the pockets are placed well. I love the thing. It's just a little tight on my 6' 180 pound frame. In going to get another one in XL
Damon C.
Love the heavy duty judo-gi-like fabric! Size true to fit!
Daniel B.
A real pleasure dealing with the professional staff at Budo Bros. This jacket is a revelation, comfortable, warm and stylish, this is my new favourite piece of outerwear. The lining adds a touch of class while the outer toughness will definitely take a scrape or two if necessary. Fantastic!
Robin G.
A gift for my Son and he loves it !
derek r.
Very nice quality
Jeff B.
I just received my Hood Gi a couple of days and I’ve only worn it twice but I love it. It’s comfortable, It looks great and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. I’m waiting on my BLOKR jacket, which is due to arrive Saturday. It looks to me like this site offers nothing but quality martial arts related stuff. OSS…
Aaron E.
They just opened up larger sizes. I got a 4x, 2x was the biggest they used to have and it doesn't fit. They are cool though.
John
Great quality, arrived quickly and even came with a carrying bag and a black and white, wave pattern Tenugui. 100% worth the money
Mark W.
Der Hood-Gi ist ein fantastisches Kleidungsstück.... prima verarbeitet und super bequem. Bin großer Fan. Big Fan!
Greetings from Germany.
Steven N.
The Jacket fits nicely and is made of strong materials. The quality and look is just amazing!
James W.
Bought 4XL for extra room and ended up being still too small for me. Looks like I had better just lose weight because the material and craftsmanship is off the charts. lol
William F.
Very nice! Well made, sturdily constructed. Looks great, too!
James V.
Thank you
Jana S.
High quality, great fit! Love it!
Michael M.
This is probably the coolest jackets I have ever bought. Really nice design. The craftsmanship is incredible and the materials are perfect. The outer shell is made of the similar material as a kendo gi.
Richard D.
A bit tight for me in M size but it would reach my knuckles for the arms length if I order L. Not sure which size would be perfect for me. ♂️
Paddy R.
WOW! Love this hood-gi! the quality is so great. Already a fav. piece in my wardrobe.
Thanks a lot for the gifts.
cheers, take care
Ed S.

Stephen C.
Very nice material and overall fit.

Love this product
Wayne F.
I like the weight and quality of material used.
Christopher Z.
My 12year old daughter asked for a Hood Gi for her birthday so we ordered her a men's small with the blue wave liner.
The fit is excellent and looks incredible. The gi is very high quality and well made.
Use the measuring guide as the sizes are smaller than north american clothing standard.
Very impressed, thanks for making this!
William C.
Good quality, heavy tough material with great texture. Gorgeous gold lining.
Sean M.
Love the roomy feel, the long sleeves and the deep hood!
Ciro C.
The Hoodie Gi is amazing. It fits well and it goes with my style. Their promo video was right, you get a lot of gazes and stares, people asking where you got it from. Even one of my colleagues is placing an order! The fabric is tuff but breathable, the design is just what I wanted. I got the XL for a bit more room. Highly recommended!
Robin G.
The hoodie came and it's very comfortable, well-structured, well-made on the whole. The lining looks smart, the silhouette is striking without being silly, and I can't emphasize enough that all the materials are high quality - I especially like the magnetic buttons.
A few small things that aren't dealbreakers, but which you may want to know:
-There's a little bit of a feeling of what I'd call feature creep in actually wearing the hoodie - the two external "bo" pockets, the front double-hand pocket and the pocket inside that pocket, the internal right hand pocket and the "hidden" 3-compartment blade safe pocket within that; idk maybe I'm not hardcore like y'all but I can't think of a situation I'm wearing a hoodie into where I need ready access to five weapons plus three additional pockets.
-It's a little awkward to wear the hoodie open, since whatever panel is reinforcing the blade-safe pocket is quite stiff, but then it's placed right along the line where the lapel naturally wants to fold outward; plus wearing the hoodie open makes the double-ended pocket on the left hand side feel a little odd.
-It's quite comfortably warm when the hoodie is fully sealed up and very breathable when it's open, but the placement of the buttons and the nature of the construction as a gi means there's no real in-between. You're either buttoned all the way up or flying loose.
-I had not considered that the rougher texture of the pearl weave fabric is a MAGNET for pet hair, so get a lint roller!
Timothy C.
Love the material and styling.
Wish it had a draw string for hood to close a bit on windy days.
Brian R.
I have worn my hood gi just about everyday since i received it. It is light enough to not be cumbersome and yet keep me warm during the early spring in the Rockies as I exercise outdoors.
Brien S.
I am a lifetime practitioner and student of Martial Arts. I remember the days I would wear just the regular GI top as a transition coming and going. Recently I began a venture to market my own invention. I recently went to Vegas for a TaiKai and found many of my fellow Buyu wearing every version of the HoodGi. Incidentally, my invention was a flawless additional to the numerous pockets available. I hope this video is received well to share how much I believe in the Budo Brothers brand and philosophy. Cheers to those living a life of Kizen and searching for your individual Ikigai!!! Remember to embrace the imperfections of this amazing adventure. Sincerely,
Brien with kinjobujinkan.
Fermin C.
Made well but…for me, not enough room in the shoulders. I need more room for the shoulder/chest area. Looks great on me (2x), but just tight in the shoulder/ pec area. Next size up just increase length and would need to be tailored ($). Would keep it if I could. Shame.
Taiji T.
Arrived while I was at work, wore it to run errands. I love the exterior feel of the gi with the smooth liner, great balance. Tempted to get another one.
David D.
Cool design, warm and plenty of pockets
Richard D.
High quality, nuff said lol exterior feels like just a traditional gi, but with modern approach to streetwear jackets. Pockets are cleverly designed, for button up vs unbutton look. Feels like wearing armor (that feeling you get when you put on your regular gi before training starts!). They even went the extra mile with some free swag as well, it came with a nice drawstring sackpack and a bandana as well! You're definitely getting a great deal with this purchase, highly recommended! (15 years Tang Soo Do)
Neil L.
Nicely tailored and designed, plenty of storage and nice deep pockets. Mag buttons make a solid fit while allowing you to quickly pull the hoodie open. Lovely lining, overall top notch gear for any martial artist or martial arts fan... Maraming Salamat Po!
Chris D.
Fits well, wife stamp of approval.
John S.
Awesome fit and fashion. I am 6’ 224 pounds and like a bigger fit. Normally take a XXL XXXL have me room to wear a heavy shirt. Shopping was good! I would buy another in the future. Quality items. Highly recommend!
Ronald B.
Overall the quality is good and its built exactly how i expected, my only complaint is that when they say the size rights "tight" they really mean extra tight. Get a size 2 sizes bigger than you need.
Virgil N.
Despite some shipment troubles, very happy with these new HoodGis! They feel super durable and they're really cozy...

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
