If you already have a translation, please attach a picture). We only translate names or words, not sentences and expressions, such requests will be ignored and refunded, if not discussed prior to your order.

Pants Alteration - Length Cut
- Adjust the fit of your Dogi by shortening the pants.
- The length that is chosen in the selector is the length you want to shorten (cut off) on each trouser leg. Refer to the size chart of each Dogi to know the precise length of the pants, but do not forget to take shrinkage into account (about 2 cm).
- Recommended by the Seido Team, if you wear a Hakama and do not want your pants to be visible underneath.

Seido Tenugui - Seishin Itto Nanigoto ka Narazaran
Made in Japan
This traditional Tenugui (Japanese hand towel) can be used as such in Kendo, Nippon Kempo or Jukendo but also as small towel to wipe off sweat during practice.
In the center is the logo of the Seido brand, the Kanji "Do" or "Michi", found in Aikido, Judo, Karatedo etc. which means "way".
Roughly translated as "where there is a will, there is a way", this well known proverb "Seishin Itto Nanigoto Ka Narazaran" means more precisely "when the mind is concentrated, nothing is impossible".
Please hand-wash in cold water before first use.
External resource: the origin of the tenugui (off site).
- 100% Cotton
- Traditional size : 98 x 34 cm
- Traditional "Honzome" dye, meaning a dye that deeply penetrates the fiber.

Lightweight Aikidogi Pants - Single Layer (KS100)
Made in Japan | Single layer | Bleached
Material: Cotton 100% - Shrinkage: 3%
Weight (size 4): 0.3 kg
Long requested by many customers, this lightweight model was created to fulfill the needs of practitioners who need traveling pants.
Unlike our other models, those Aikido pants don't have a double layer on the knees, and are therefore less durable than models of higher quality, especially for Suwariwaza practice.
Very light and very comfortable, it will please Aikidoists in need of light equipment for frequent seminar travels as well as practitioners living in tropical climates. However, we do not recommend it for women not wearing a Hakama as it is slightly see-through.Like all our equipment, this model is 100% made in Japan.
This product consists of one pair of pants only.
