Excellent quality and durability.
The distance between each parallel-running machine-stiched seam is 2mm. The smaller the distance between the seams, the more durable and resilient the Kendo bogu is - and the better your protection!
The complete bogu, including leather reinforcements and decorative parts, is assembled by hand.
The bogu is made of tough #8000 cotton and the high-quality cowhide and fabric are dyed traditional indigo.
The bogu can be individualised by the choice of shape and colour of the embroidery of the mune. The standard version of the do is black, but as an extra you can choose from many different colours and motifs.
The delivery time for the bogu is about one week after receipt of payment. sould you have special requirements, such as a particular colour of the do, delivery takes about 4-5 weeks.
The right bogu for each kendoka - my recommendations:
I recommend the 2mm bogu for those kendoka who not only take part in intensive training sessions, but also in competitions and courses. The high production quality results in greater thoughness and a longer suit life. The bogu are however also suitable for those kendoka who appreciate high quality materials and special design.
