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.

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
sean d.
Got the limited edition midnight colored hoodie in medium and l love it, l have the red one as well in large for when l want to wear a polar long sleeve underneath and l love the color. the midnight one is great for a lower profile look and it fits great for me (5.9ft 165-180 pounds) once again, expensive wear but you get thr quality you pay for. only thing that bothers me with the trim is the velcro end at the bottom for the proper trim adjustment as it will sometimes accidentally touch the sports liner inside and strips it a bit which is sad so l am careful how l store and put it on. once adjusted, you dont worry about it. also kudos for the extra gifts, l appreciate you guys made a product like this for the public, dream come true :D.
Samuel C.
Quality and fit is outstanding! Better than I could of hoped for. Highly recommend.
Michael M.
Fantastic quality! I fell in love with it the moment I put it on. Have already gotten compliments and "Where'd you get this?!" from people. Would recommend!!! I got 3X with the Midnight liner. 10/10!
Nicolas G.
Great fit, very comfortable, and solidly built.
I love the design (and the many hidden pockets), and I hope to see more apparel in the midnight color!
John
Awesome, great material and more durable than expected. I wish you could wear it open as well as closed but that doesn't look good. All in all still a good product
Linnell
Loved it perhaps an instructional video on how to put it on for those who are not familiar with Eastern wear but I have no complaints best purchase ever
Gordon M.
Excellent quality and fit! And the hood is large enough to drape over the face. Combined with included neck gaiter mask, you feel full on ninja!
Brian
Awesome!
Dwayne K.
Fits perfectly and I love the new color. If you ever come out with Black on Black, I will own my 4th to go with Red, Blue, and Midnight!
Richard C.
Very nice products , bought two : )
Carolyn O.
My sister got me mine for my birthday. What can I say? It’s my new favourite jacket! I love everything about it. Thanks Budo Brothers!
Michael B.
Great as always! Can't wait to see what's next! Thank you.
William M.
Love the Hood Gi with the midnight liner. Fits great and the liner looks a lot sharper then I actually thought it would. I have had folks stop me in the store and ask where I got it from and of course I point them to the web site. Great product. Thanks.
Paul S.
Another perfect Hood-Gi to add to my wardrobe.
gregory w.
well made quality materials very impressed
Dennis
It is fitted very well and comfortable to wear anywhere. The stitching needs some work there was a small whole on the sleeve and the velcro is loose and falling off.
GABRIEL
Exactly as described, amazing quality! Will be buying another one!
stephen M.
Well made unique,
Alex S.
Five Words….
High Quality!!
Top Notch Service!!
I only wish I’d ordered sooner.
Patrick T.
Love the hood gi. I'd say it runs pretty close to normal sizes so get your usual size. I got mine to wear as a spring/fall jacket and it fits that role perfectly. It is quite a bit heavier than a standard gi with the inside liner and pockets so keep that in mind for warmer weather. The quality feels very solid and should hold up for a long time. It came with a nice athletic style bag and a head wrap/neck gaiter (which had the same wave pattern but different color, it would be nice if they included the same color as the liner you order but that's just being picky. I rarely write reviews for anything but felt this jacket was worth it.
Sean P.
The Hood Gi is incredibly comfortable and has a sharp style that is awesome. I got the first Hood Gi a few years back and am still wearing it, as it is an amazing jacket that handles all types of weather. This version is all that and more, with a sleeker style and a real nice fit. The lining is a groovy color as well that adds to it nicely, I got the black lining. The jacket has a nice balance to its weight also that I enjoy in terms of mobility. Awesome top to bottom. Another sweet purchase from Budo Brothers! Namaste
Jeff R.
really nice quality! Got positive comments as soon as I wore it outside!
Chase
Very impressed on the quality
Richard W.
Just like with gi sizes, if you’re big in the chest the top runs a liiiiiiiitle smallish.
They’re quick and no hassle for returns, so it’s a non issue really.
Frank F.
Stylish and fits so well. Can't wait to take it out on the mat (and beyond)
Matthew
Excellent product, very strong fabric feels like it can be easily mended and worn over a lifetime
Great details like phone pocket with hook and loop closure, as well as the kubo pockets on the side. They actually can fit a Swiss Army knife, with a long lanyard it works great
Only wish the Gi had side vents to allow for easier crouching. Otherwise perfect fit for complete mobility
Omar E.
This is a superior quality item. Holds true to a Gi
Stewart H.
Great look and feel! Everything I hoped it would be.
Justin L.
Very happy with the quality and fit of my Hood-Gi. Freedom of motion is amazing in this thing! Magnetic buttons work extemely well, and make it super easy to reach the inner pocket. The slim side pockets are a nice touch for carrying smaller items that you want easy access to. Lining is very comfortable against the skin, and the design it timeless. Worth every penny, and I can't believe you guys included some surprise merch! Very stoked to get the bonus goodies! I really appreciate what you guys do, and how you do it.

Michael B.
This Hood-Gi is sinisterly badass! This is my fourth Hood-Gi. I can't wait for the next batch. Thank you Budo Brothers!!!
Eric B.
I am very pleased with the hood-gi that I received. It is so comfortable and I love the awesome combination of modern and traditional design. The order came in 2 days ! To make it even better, when I opened the package, I found not only the hood-gi but a neck tube and a lanyard with the awesome wave pattern! So satisfied with this amazing brand!
James N.
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!

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
