“I ordered my Meijin Pro Gi on Saturday and had my last name embroidered on i…My wife sent me a pic yesterday while I was at work. She was holding my new Gi in her hands! You guys embroidered and shipped my Gi so fast! I can’t believe I got it around 30-36 hours after I ordered it! Well done! I tried it on and am in love with the fit! Thanks for being on the ball!”
Many of its unique design feats were included at the request of senior instructors like Morio Higaonna and Fumio Demura. Some you will pay extra for elsewhere, others are only available from MEIJIN. For example, FREE Japanese name or style embroidery (up to a value of $15.00) embroidered on your new Meijin uniform. (Continues below). When the textile mill first showed us the 10-ounce cotton canvas they had just developed, we knew we had to use it for the Meijin Tropical.
Before the advent of computer-driven looms, it was almost impossible to weave canvas to this quality because the level of consistency and accuracy required was practically impossible to achieve.
This is particularly true with the large quantities of fabric that we need to manufacture, and the level of quality control that we need to maintain. The latest Japanese looms coupled with advanced computer technology can significantly improve the fabric quality if the weaving formulas are carefully designed, and thoroughly tested.
“Tropical” canvas is really finely woven but strong and “snappy,” and does not cling when wet. It also washes easily and dries quickly, particularly important for the members who travel to with us to Okinawa for training where the heat and humidity can be a real challenge!
The Meijin Tropical Plus Uniform is a very substantial upgrade from our original Tropical uniform.
