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.

Extremely well made. It's big enough for me to wrap up in but not fully button, but that's not a demerit, it fits very well, especially in the upper arms and gut. If you're not familiar, Gi fabric is not soft so be prepared for a very hardy exterior but the inside lining is fantastic and silky. Hoods honestly too big, but that's about my only complaint.
Definitely a piece that will last.
Le Bey M.
I literally have no words! This is the best piece of clothing I have ever bought . The Hood Gi is of superior quality and worth every cent! I am definitely going to buy another one!
James C T.
Cool style and great materials, workmanship. Feels like something that’ll last for life! Worth every dollar.
Sizing assumptions are true - I’m 6’ x 240lbs and XL fits well, if not tailored, to my build. Still nice room for movement!
Thanh N.
I absolutely love it. Great material and fits really well. I want to buy some more as gifts.
Thanh
Great quality product with fast shipping:-) thanks
Chris N.
Bought 2 (1x Gold and 1x Red ) for myself and a blue one for my brah. Excellent quality. I love it. Just happened to stumble upon this while looking Cal Kestis Hoodie that he has in Jedi survivor. Would love to see a design like that to wear in in summer months as a short sleeve. I’ve gotten many compliments on this hoodie. Great job!
Éric S.
Excellent craftsmanship and material quality. Love the magnetized snap buttons. Fits like a glove!
sean d.
Beautiful hoodie. Couldnt imagine a better concept for hardened or recreational martial artists even if you are not, this is an all round practical tactical hoodie. l got the blue in a medium and its a pefect fit but l didnt hesitate for another one in red in a large format (perfect for slightly colder weather so l can wear a thick polar long sleeve underneath it) l am happy and l dont provide good reviews lightly. Also, thank you BudoBrothers for the extra gifts on my second order, much appreciated. Guys, you get what you pay for. This is the real deal and they didnt cheap out anywhere on the desgin and materials. l am 5.9ft 170lb.
ANDY A.
Fit is good, I chose one size up for a loose fit. But since I am a 5'6" Japanese a little stout like a typical Japanese judo ka. The sleeves were long that I had to fold it twice (2" folds). And the hood was huge! Went over my head and covered my face. The breast and shoulders felt fine. The front pocket went below my nuts so it looks awkward with my hands in the pockets. I love the design and the material it's made with and it is thick to wear in Hawaii in the day. Overall I'll make it work may be my next stay in Japan this winter.
Daniel
Love this ‘hoodie’. I’m 6’2, 200 lbs and bought the xl that fits perfectly. The inner material is comfortably and it warm without being hot. Best of all it looks great and everytime I wear it someone says something positive about it.
Larry
Love it, fits very nicely and looks good!
Leslie C.
My husband feels like a badass in it. Love the look and vibe, it's a distinctive style. Customer service was splendid.
Louis G.
Hood-gi looks great and functions well. Phone pocket is very handy. Lining makes it easy to wear over bulky gi top when traveling to class. Glad I followed the recommendations to up one size.
Earl F.
Fantastic hoodie. Love the texture and the design. Feels like a gi!
Evan B.
This thing is too cool. It’s comfy, has a good weight to it without restricting movement as seen in the video. Fits perfectly to size and it’s quite slimming when buttoned. I’ve gotten so many compliments from. It your thinking about buying it stop thinking and just buy it.
MoriMelito Y.
I love it.
It’s very nice.
Cathy J.
Exchanged a Large for this XL. It was a Christmas gift, and the recipient loves it! The XL fits beautifully.
The Hood-Gi is an extremely well-made garment. The canvas-like material is thick, rugged and I believe will withstand long wear. The colors and design are beautiful.
I have one suggestion - a better sizing chart. One with chest, waist, etc. measurements. I believe that would be a better guide than using the male model. It could also decrease exchanges for size.
Joseph M.
I was extremely impressed with the quality of the Hood gi. My family is a BJJ family and have had several different brands of gi over the many years and of course have our favorites, but this Hood gi is on par with the best of them. It is functional and durable. I expect many years of use out of it and have plans of gifting them to friends and family.
Kelly T.
It was not at all what we expected. We returned one and are awaiting the second one.
Nina S.
This is my second hooded gi. I bought the blue one 4 years, and just a week ago, I bought the red one, and I love it. It's comfortable and quite sturdy too. Thank you Budo Brothers!
Lonnie
It was nice.
Kevin
Very comfortable
Noralyn B.
The fit is perfect. The jacket looks elegant at the same time, rugged. The lining is very comfortable. I am very happy with my Budo Brothers Hoodie. Great addition to my well chosen collection.
Christian D.
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly! The Good, the hood-gi looks and feels great! (I am glad I read the reviews and sized up to an XL, they are fitted). The Bad, I wish the inside had a magnetic snap instead of the Velcro. The Ugly, the hood-gi unfortunately does not make me any better looking… Thanks BudoBrothers! This is a great product!!
Samuel B.
Love everything except the front pocket being off centered. Wish that was in the right place but oh well
Andrea R.
I ordered this item for my Son in Law. He is a taekwondo enthusiast. The quality of the fabric is great. The item looks great on him and he absolutely loves it.
Andrea
Cody
Love this piece. Comfortable to wear and has a unique look to it whether open or closed. I enjoy the hidden pocket and the magnetic clasps. The liner is very classy, but my favorite part is the oversized Jedi hood that you can hide yourself in!
Han-Hsien T.
The hooded gi is very well made. Heavy material which keeps out the rain and keeps in the warmth. The magnetic buttons are easy to open and close the gi. An excellent purchase.
Ernesto B.
Is the best one outfit I ever I so really good that, I had de blue one but I lost It. I was so ángry an sad. But then Insaw the golden one was love at first sight. Is just simply necesary I wait so ansioully and when it arrive I was so happy as a kid the morning of christmas. Thank you Bodo Brother.
Evguenia E.
The gift recipient loved it
Doris T.
The jacket is great quality and very nice. Bought for a Christmas gift, but my husband didn’t like it.
Nestor M.
It is an awesome hoodie, to the point that I’ve gotten compliments on it. The only thing I regret is that I got it too big. Should’ve went XL on it. To me it runs big so go a size down fellas. Aside from that….hands down to me it’s the best hoodie slash kick ass hoodie I got thanks to you guys
John D.
I have always wanted a Gi top that can be worn in an urban environment. This product fits what I imagined
Derek H.
Love it
Wenqian
Good quaility, responsible customer service
My package disappeared somehow and the customer service helped me saying to send me one more.
Finally I found the package and the quality is amazing- Thick, strong and durable
Roland
Completely in love with this item,will buy again if need be!
Felicita M.
Very good quality
Ann B.
This was a present for our grandson. He loves the gift that we gave him for Christmas. He’s 15 years old and he will be wearing it a lot
Warm regards,
Ann Barclay
John C.
Nicely made hoodie with Japanese inspired details. Orizashi cloth is a bit thinner than expected but fine for those not in Canada lol.
Mary Kaye L.
Bought this for my son who is a dedicated Martial Artist. He loved it! He's 6'1", 215 LBS and the extra large was perfect! Not too big and not too tight! My husband wants one now! This is great for your Karate Guy that has everything!
Julian k.
I will say, definitely keep to your shirt size and go a size bigger if you want some wiggle room. The quality is beyond expectations and is well made. I made the mistake of going a size smaller that my usual. Due to unavailable sizes. But I was able to gift my purchase to a friend, and share the quality, cool looking coat. Well worth the price and shipping was amazing and fast. Well put together, going to order another in the proper size when available again.
Walter N.
My friend had this jacket on and I asked him where he got it.
I bought one the second he sent me the link!
Super comfortable, cool design!
All around awesome company!
Johnson K.
What an amazing experience shopping from Budo-Brothers. My Hood-gi came blemished and they were immediately apologetic and got right to work getting me my replacement. The service was exemplary and professional the entire way through. The Hood-gi looks and feels above its price and fits perfectly. My only wish is that the velcro at the bottom edge was also made of magnetic clasps.
Catherine B.
You should do them for women.
Johnson a.
Wear it to BJJ practice every day, comfortable and warm!
Would love if custom embroidery was offered
Stephen D.
It’s well made with excellent design. Takes me back to my active dojo days.
Chris B.
Not only is the HoodGi functional, it is stylish, matches all my outfits & keeps me surprisingly warm! Thank you Budo Brothers!!!
Calvin F.
This thing is so comfy it's amazing. Warmer than a regular hoodie which I did not expect, works great at around zero celsius temperatures with a scarf!
Roshmond P.
super high quality garment, it is quickly becoming one of my favorite pieces. I have had people complement me on the feel of the fabric, the cut and the style. this is an outstanding piece of work, highly recommend the investment. I might get a second in a different color!!!!
Victor
This was a perfect fit for me and very warm . I get compliments on it daily now
Danial S.
I got the Red and Black style Hood-Gi. Love everything about it! The quality is nice and well made. It fits wonderfully! It's definitely unique and catches attention. It's extremely comfortable and very warm in 30 degree weather. It's also pretty thick! Very good workout Hoodie as well! Customer service is also very good! I ordered one that was way too big because in online orders, you never know what you're going to get. I emailed them about it and there was no hassle in the return! I'll more than likely buy another one in a different color later on! Love it!
Caitlin B.
I bought this for my fiance, who has been wanting one for years. He has been refusing to take it off. He loves the fit and the feel. He also really likes the gold.
Zachary C.
I got my hood-gi on Monday and I’ve worn it a couple of times since then. It’s beautifully designed and fits well, but my main issue is that when I ordered this hood-GI I was under the impression it was light like an actual hoodie. Mine feels like a heavy suit jacket and that kind of defeats the purpose of why I bought it. While it fits well, it is not really comfortable and it’s stiff.
I bought this to have something warm and comfy to wear to silat and JKD. it’s definitely warm, it’s not comfortable.
I’m 5’9, 220lbs and got xxl.
Eric
I sent an email to ask if I can exchange the size to the information that was provided never received a response 
Michael
Good weight. Feels like a judo gi. Many positive comments.
Tracy P.
Quality product. Excellent service and fast shipping. Very impressed and glad to be a customer.
Bennie D.
The only thing I would change about the hood-gi is to make it water repellent. We tend to wear hoodies in not the best weather, so having it repel water would be optimal.
Randall C.
Excellent products made very well. You will not be disappointed . I highly recommend it!!
Scott S.
Fits well, keeps me warm, I love it
Matthew R.
I love the heft of the fabric. Solid construction of quality materials.
Everett W.
Absolutely quality product Love the fit and attention to detail!
Christian F.
This hoodie is even better than I could have hoped for! VERY comfortable and it feels like it's going to last a long time. The fact that it looks badass is a nice bonus ! Worth every penny! Well done!
Steve C.
Great fit, feels just like a real gi , the XL fit my 5’5” 190 pound frame perfectly, with a roll to the sleeves of course
Michael B.
What happens when you get three old martial artists together? You get great fashion sense.
Chris K.
This hoodie has gone above and beyond in terms of being comfortable and tough. It has style, but also a low profile look. The customer care staff are great at communication and making sure I got the right hoodie. I am definitely going to buy another one.
Rodelio P.
It's not just fashionable, it's also functional.
Steve
XL fit my 5’5” 190 pound frame perfectly. Feels and looks great.
Geoffrey S.
Love it! Super roomy and LOTS of pockets. Only 1% improvement would be an inside breast pocket. That would make it 100% perfect! :)
Jonathan S.
Amazing product, definitely my favorite jacket right now! The fit is exactly like the size chart, I'll definitely be ordering another one
Christian L.
I simply love it. The design is great and it’s very comfortable. It is my second one, I bought an XL with the blue interior some years ago. I still have it and it is still wearable.
Luke
The quality is great the texture and feel is amazing. One more magnetic class at the very bottom of the left hand side would be nice but isn't absolutely necessary. Maybe your pocket or two in the inside would also be kind of cool but again isn't necessary. I personally wouldn't mind a slightly bigger hood, but the one on there is nice I'm just looking at it aesthetically. A great product that I would definitely buy again.
Chamble J.
Love the feel and fit.
Brandi B.
This is an anniversary present for my husband. He absolutely loves it. He got it yesterday and called me this morning while waiting for his train. It's a chilly morning, and he says its just right. That he was not cold this morning, but also not too hot, that is just right! Sturdy gi material. The inside is soft smooth cotton. Fits him perfect, I purchased a large. It's not lightweight, but not too heavy either. The snaps are magnetic and easy to use. Lots of pockets too. I know this will be his go to jacket.
RJ G.
Wore it to the ‘23 Legacy Gala. Nice fit, comfortable & kept me warm. Looked exactly as pictured. Couldn’t be happier with the purchase.
Julie D.
Very good quality ! Incredebile ! I love it
Carl S.
Fantastic quality, heavy duty yet flexible enough to move around in. Was debating on size, and going with the 2XL was perfect, fit just right. I'm 6'2" 225# for reference, reasonably athletic. Great to have the outside pouch and inside pockets, and the magnetic closures work smooth as silk. Shipping was super fast! Overall highly impressed with the quality and style, will be grabbing more stuff from these guys.
Gitte S.
The quality of the Hood-Gi jacket is phenomenal! It feels super durable and I love the magnetic buttons. We ordered a size M for our son who is quite muscular in the shoulders and found that it was too snug around the armpit area due to his arm/shoulder circumference so I exchanged it for a L. The process of refund and exchange was super easy and the team is very responsive and friendly. Love the product and will definitely order more from them based on their customer service as well as product quality. Great company!
Andre P.
It's a great jacket, comfy, warm, tough, fits well and looks good. I do wish the collar were a bit more substantial like an actual gi though. the snaps that hold it closed could use a little firmer material to hold on to, keep everything aligned and low profile.
If you concealed carry, this jacket will make it more difficult to get into your waistband in a hurry, there's a lot of material to unwrap. You'd be better off pocket carrying something small.
Cyrus G.
No Complaints, Next, I will get a large.
Nicklaus S.
Great product, well made, out of the box. Sizing is close - I would definitely size up rather than size down. Loved the inclusion of a carry bag and neck gaiter!
Talia G.
Amazing product however I need to return due to sizing
Eric
Very awesome design love it!
James B.
Runs a bit small
Ian B.
The hood-gi is absolutely perfect. It arrived in three day, and it fits flawlessly.
adam c.
Very good product, I will buy certainly one of all the product, superior quality, very good look.
John P.
I’m glad I bought it. I purchased a large, and it’s just a little snug, but fits well overall. I’m hoping it just needs to stretch out a bit. I will probably buy another one just so I can have two, because the design is badass. (I’ll try a XL next time.)
Thanks for making a very cool hoodie.
Jose G.
Kinda tight around the stomach, but it feels so comfortable. For those wondering: 5' 6" 195 lbs and I ordered a large. Currently working on making sure that it eventually fits me loose around the tummy.
William
It’s heavyweight frabic and comfortable I love the hidden pockets and loves to wear it casually
Juan A.
I didn’t expect this kind of quality to be honest.
But I’m happy with this purchase and will gladly recommend it to anyone who asks about it.
Thanx
John M.
I ordered the XL because I wanted a bigger fit. It feels fine around the shoulder but around the waist its more snug than I would have expected, for an outer garment that is meant to be worn over other clothes. This issue than becomes if I order the 2XL, how much longer will the outfit be? I'm short so I can't wear clothes that are also too long top to bottom, or with longer sleeves.
Are these American sizes??
Josh
Great item. Feels very durable and will withstand the Canadian climate as a fall/early winter jacket with a light sweater underneath
William W.
The weather was chilly on 11-12 to13th I get my gi-hoodie and decided to wear it,instead of wearing my jacket and cap it was truly comfortable and kelp me warm ,love the beanie,I’ve told a few friends and posted on Facebook
Anthony C.
I bought the gold hoodie a while ago and liked it so much I had to get the blue one, too.
Daniel C.
This is superior. I ordered a size up as suggested for liking things roomy. It fits exactly as I like. Strong material seems VERY durable. I have full range of movement. Amazing comfort, and it looks badass. It’s like a gi jacket with a perfect hood. I’m going to wear the hell out of this. Far exceeds my expectations
Claire M.
We are very happy with this purchase and it’s shipment. The quality and shape are very nice. Beware if you are in between two sizes to take the largest. My husband is 1.80 meter for 85 kg and got size XL.
Jesica U.
The Gi Hood is excellent.
Nice and comfortable
But you should be cautious if you order from Europe ( you will need to fill lots of papers from Fed Ex and pay too many taxes…)
William
Best hoodie I've ever owned 11/10 top notch workmanship, materials and comfort, never wearing another sweater again
Kyle
Fits great! I got the gold lining. I ordered the 2XL, I’m 6ft, 215lbs. It’s great quality, it’s built beautifully tough. Thanks for the fast shipping too!
Major S.
Love the product but what can I do about the size. I always wear a medium but this product seems to run small and need would like to know the process of getting a large. Please inform me on process
David P.
I’m a big fan and supportive of this company. Fantastic company ran by guys that walk the walk. The Hood-gi is comfortable and extremely well made.

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
