The distance between each parallel-running machine-stiched seam is 5mm. The smaller the distance between the seams, the more durable and resilient the Kendo bogu is - and the better your protection!
I have taken great care over the design of the beginnerīs bogu, using leather reinforcements and leather patches to ensure that they are durable and offer the best possible protection. Not forgetting, of course, that even as a beginner itīs nice to look good!
The complete bogu is assembled by hand. Only the leather parts and decorative parts are machine-stiched.
The bogu is made of tough #7000 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 5mm bogus for students and schoolchildren because students have to get by on a limited budget and schoolchildren grow out of their clothes quickly. The bogu are very suitable for regular training, but a bogu with closer seams is preferable for long-term intensive training.
