The distance between each parallel-running machine-stiched seam is 3mm. 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. Should 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:
3mm bogu are the ideal for your routine training. These bogu are exceptionally good value, combining great workmanship with a low price. I can therefore recommend this one to anybody who, besides doing routine intensive training, would also like to take part in courses and competitions from time to time.
