THE YŪKI GI IS INSPIRED BY THE LEGEND OF THE KOI FISH THAT SWIMS UP THE WATERFALL AND BECOMES A DRAGON.
Yūki means courage in Japanese. The Japanese saying "Koi No Taki-Nobori" ("Koi climbing the rapids") reflects the strong spirit of the Koi and is shown on embroideries and on the inside label. The gi features a Coolmax lining inside the jacked with a large group of colorful Koi. Coolmax is also used on the jacket skirt and on the gusset with a traditional Japanese geometrical pattern.

The fabric is pre-shrunk and will have minimal shrinkage if washed on cold water and line dried in the shade. You can adjust the overall size up to 4% by doing a controlled shrink. Wash it in warm water and dry it gradually from line dry, warm and hot in the machine settings, until it shrinks to your desired fit. This is a reference for height/weight ranges for a new/unwashed gi:
5'3"-5'5" |130-150| = A0
5’5″-5’8″ |150-170| = A1
5’8″-6’0″ |170-190| = A2
5’8″-6’0″ |190-210| = A2W
6’0″-6’3″ |190-220| = A3
6’2″-6’5″ |210-250| = A4
