Adult Odachi WKF Approved 14oz Karate Suit

By Bob D. on 16th November 2017

Fit is spot on straight out of the pack (size 7 for a bloke 6' 3\", 100kg, 48\" chest, 40\" waist), which means cool wash and air dry as I couldn't afford a lot of shrinkage. Jacket is nice and long but the sleeves are just right. Trousers have a nice high waist and are ankle length. Ties are all of the tape type rather than canvas, personally I prefer this (one of the reasons I moved away from Kamikaze was they stopped using these), but I know some people prefer it the other way. Lots of free space around the armpits and plenty of width across the shoulders so easy to move in, trousers are also free for high kicking (if you like that sort of thing :-) ), and the whole thing is well finished.

Quite nice but the jackets a little narrower than expected for the Gi size (mines a 200), also has a tiny red mark on one sleeve which looks like dye of some sort. Would have been five stars had it not been for these two things.

I have reasently purchased the odachi gi, I also have the silver tournament gi which is excellent. The Odachi gi is the best gi I have purchased to date, the quality and fit is the best I have come across and well worthy of five stars.

I own 7 different Gi's and this Odachi Gi is by far the best I've had. Nice soft material whilst still maintaining a sharp snap when executing techniques. Well worth the money.

Usually take a size 160, never varies. This one was huge. Ended up with kids size 145. Mind you it's a great fit, great gi, and customer service was excellent - returned free, replacement sent. Fantastic. If sizing had been better would have been 5 stars.

I've tried several Blitz Gi's including the White Diamond. This is without doubt the best of them all. Great cut, very durable. 5 stars :)

Love this gi. Good quality and love the heavy weight feel.

Really nice comfortable gi with a professional feel, nice balance for kata and kumite, great value for money

Looks and feels good. The trouser legs don't seem to stick to your legs as much as my previous Gi once the sweat starts building up and the mesh across the inside of the jacket shoulders adds comfort when working hard too. Only down side for me is the trouser leg is full length and I prefer them a little shorter - easy sorted though.

The best fitting suit I have ever brought. I didn't need to alter the trousers and the top fitted very snug. A tip for anyone buying a 14oz gi, don't put it in the washing machine what ever you do as you will not get the creases out. Dry clean about every three months, In between soak it flat in the bath over night with some washing powder, rinse with cold water ideally with the shower keeping it flat. Don't ring it out hang it you outside to dry then iron. Sorted.

So disappointed when The Japan gi was delisted... but WHAT a replacement! The Odachi is stunning in every way and excellent quality. Our group's new favourite gi!

By Adam Hawke on 1st December 2014

This suit is worth the money. Perfect for executing kata, traditional work and Kihons. Also great for sparring in. Sweat absorbent material is a bonus for those who work hard. All in all, a great buy. Would recommend for senior karate-ka and fellow instructors.
