Product Information & Size Chart

  • Reinforced Slim Budo Black Belt

    100% Cotton | Made in Japan

    Shrinkage: ~2% | Width: 4.5 cm | 13 lines of stitching

    Embroidery possible: Non-integrated or Integrated

    Like all of our belts, this model is based on Kodokan recommendations, which is the most widespread standard in Japan.

    This premium model has a width of 4.5 cm and a core of thin cotton, it is especially recommended for the practice of Aikido. The "Slim" belt model is the most flexible in our catalog. Using the exact same material as the "Slim Black Belt", this models is made with 13 lines of stitching instead of 10 for maximum reinforcement and long duration. Fully manufactured in Japan (fabric and manufacturing), it is both resistant and comfortable to wear, even under a Hakama. This belt will slightly whiten over time.

    When selected, the Aikikai mark is stitched on the opposite end of the belt (see product picture).

    Classy Belt!

    I ordered this belt with gold embroidery. As others have stated it's quite stiff out of the packet but I found that it has softened even over the few weeks I've been wearing it. What impressed me most was the speed of shipping to Ireland!

    Quality belt

    Gorgeous!

    Good belt but...

    First, I do think the product is good. But I do feel that it is rather strongly reinforced so for those looking much easier to tie in with your hakama I think the softer versions would be more ideal for that purpose because this belt is really stiff.

    Magnifique, parfaite pour le karaté

    J'ai pris une ceinture slim renforcée avec deux broderies intégrées pour mon premier dan de karaté wadō-ryū, je l'ai reçue en 5 semaines (rapide!), et un mois de pratique plus tard je peux dire : elle est parfaite pour ma pratique au quotidien.

    La ceinture est juste ce qu'il faut de flexible pour que le nœud tienne bien (par rapport à d'autres plus rigides comme chez shureido), en plus le coton agrippe bien, je n'ai pas à m'inquiéter du glissement. J'ai pris 285cm pour une taille de 84cm, ça fait des bouts de 35cm, j'aime bien.
    La finition est très belle aussi, avec les coutures qui s'arrêtent à des niveaux différents pour disperser la tension.

    Les premiers jours avec le frottement quelques petites ficelles peuvent sortir de la broderie, mais rien qu'une paire de ciseaux ne peut réparer ;)
    Le logo Seido s'intègre bien avec la broderie argentée, et on a respecté ma demande de décaler la broderie un peu plus bas sur le côté sans étiquette, c'est cool. Seido est spécialisé en aikido donc impossible d'avoir une étiquette karaté (logique), mais c'est pas grave, j'ai brodé mon style à la place.

    Bref, une très bonne ceinture pour le karaté, dommage que je ne peux pas ajouter de photos à l'avis :)

    Très satisfait

    Très belle ceinture noire (ma première car je viens d'obtenir le shodan fédéral) une broderie très réussi (j'avais acheté ma ceinture blanche brodé déjà chez vous)
    Une réception un peu plus tôt que prévu je recommande vivement !

    あまりスリム感がありません

    まだ購入したばかりですがさほどスリム感が感じられませんし、他社製品の黒帯に比べても締め心地は硬い印象です。一方、耐久性はあるようですが、価格から言えば耐久性ないと意味がありません。総合評価は暫く使用してから他社製比較の上、再レビューをしたいと考えます。

    この度は当店をご利用いただき、誠にありがとうございました。
    この度は、「薄さが感じられない」という部分で、お客様のイメージされていた帯と異なる形となり誠に申し訳ございませんでした。

    お買い求めいただきました「スリム特上黒帯」は、従来の柔道帯の既存モデルで一般的に使用されている芯の中から、スリムな芯ながらも頑丈さも兼ね備えた芯を使用した帯として、ショップの開店当初から販売させていただいてる「スリム帯」シリーズの一つとなります。本商品については、お陰様で贈答品のほか、中級から上級者、高段者の方に大変ご好評をいただいていおります。

    通常、芯が薄く、ステッチ数が少なくなればなるほど、帯の耐久性が下がり、一方で、芯が厚く、ステッチ数を増やすほどに、帯の耐久性があがります。ただし、その場合には、帯はさらにゴツく、厚くなってしまう難点がございました。
    本商品は、「スリムな芯ながら、耐久性がある」という点が本商品の魅力となっております。
    また、「スリム特上黒帯」は、その耐久性をさらに強めるため、ステッチ数が13本と、当店で販売している帯シリーズの中でも一番多いモデルのため、ステッチ数が少ない帯に比べ、硬く感じられるかと思います。硬さについては、使いこなすうちに馴染んでくると思いますが、よりソフト感を追求される場合には、ステッチ数の少ない帯もございますので、今後のご参考になれば幸いです。
    今後も多くの合気道家の皆様にご満足いただける商品をご提供してまいりたいと思います。
    この度は誠にありがとうございました。

    Toujours de belle facture...

    Reçu très rapidement (comme toujours...) et conforme aux attentes et à la commande.

    Ceinture de "voyage" (pour pratique lors de déplacements professionnels), nous verrons à l'usage concernant la solidité et l'éventuel blanchiment mais je ne suis pas trop inquiet...

    A la prochaine !

    Excellent belts (obi) from Seido

    Bought 2 belts from Seido last week. Superb quality and as well as delivery. Keep it up, Jordy and the team.

    縫製は良いが結びがすぐに解ける

    一年使用しての感想になります。
    縫製は丁寧で刺繍も美しく申し分ないが、芯材が硬い為にすぐに解けます。

    洗濯をすれば柔らかくなるかと思いましたが、一年使用してみてもあまり変わらない。良く言えばしっかりとした作りであると言えます。
    もう少しソフトな芯材を使用した方が良いと思います。

    Gorgeous Black Belt

    This belt is simply beautiful. The quality of craftsmanship is impeccable. And although it's going to take a few years to break it in, this belt will clearly last a lifetime.

    Also: Seido's customer service was exemplary once again. I went back and forth with Jordy to get the embroidery exactly right. He was patient, friendly, and quite helpful. Jordy talked me in to getting the integrated embroidery, and I am so glad that he did; it is definitely worth it!

    For compliance reasons, reviews placed in French and Japanese and imported here on February 2024 do not display as 'verified'.
    When importing Japanese reviews, the impossibility to automatically determine the presence of a familly name forced us to label all Japanese reviews as 'anonymous' (Familly names in roman characters have been filtered out).
