Something I've wondered - how does Isami compare to Tokaido or Shureido? Material and cut-wise. I've seen a lot of them, but I haven't touched one.

hmm...

Not 100% sure to be honest, I understand the 'cut' of an Isami is much 'baggier' than traditional suits and the jacket has no ties to hold it together.

The arms are shorter as the trousers are 'wider in the leg/thigh than the more traditional suits, Sosai Oyama wanted his fighters to move more freely without any restrictions.

Likewise the 'pants' are a lighter weight cotton to the jacket.

Jacket is 12 oz

Pants are 10 oz.

(Hence, a Kyokushin fighter always looks like he just got out of bed!)
