I FOUND A DEFECT

We cannot accept items as defected due to improper wash and/or dry (i.e, washing your Gi in bleach or soaking your Gi and having it tear)

Keiko Sports makes all of our own gear in our own factory in São Paulo, Brazil so we are proud to stand by the quality of our gear.

HOW SHOULD I WASH MY GI? WILL IT SHRINK?

Keiko Sports recommends washing your new Gi in a cool wash and hang drying the Gis to keep it from shrinking too much on the sleeve and pant lenghts.

Keiko Gis are 100% cotton and pre-shrunk on the body, but we give you the option to shrink up the sleeves and pant lengths up to 2 inches, for those with shorter reach. A warmer wash and dry will help to shrink up your gi.

Tip: Be sure to wash an dry your new Gi before sewing on any patches.

DO NOT SOAK, BLEACH, MACHINE DRY OR DRY CLEAN.

Our Gis are known for having a slightly longer lapel (or body) to help with lapel chokes and more importantly to make sure that your Gi is IBJJF Competition Approved

HOW DO KEIKO GIS FIT? / WHAT SIZE SHOULD I GET?

Keiko Gis are exclusively made in Brazil. We have been making our Gis and every one of our products in our factory in Sao Paulo, BR since we first began in 1988. Gis made in Brazil are far different in quality, fit and sizing than those made in other countries, our strong cotton makes a huge difference in the quality of our kimonos. We also have a different cut than other Gi brands in that generally our Gis fit larger than other brands. Make sure to use our size charts to find your perfect fit.

To help you find the right sizes for your specific body type, foremost of our Gis, you may select a top size and a pants size separately, they don't need to match. We understand that everyone is unique and your Gis fit should match that.

Remember when you try on your new Gi, close it up, extend your arms straight in front of you and from there imagine that it will shrink about 2 inches from there (ex: if it ends at your fingertips it will shrink back to around your knuckles, if it ends at your knuckles it will shrink back to about your wrist after washing and drying, etc...) As for your pants, they
