About the product
Honbu gi pants from Shinka Combat are the long trousers in unbleached cotton canvas that belong to the Honbu gi, and they are sold separately because it is usually the trousers that go first. They are sewn after a design from Honbu Dojo in Japan with a traditional drawstring at the waist and carry no logo at all. Unbleached and untreated cotton makes them more environmentally friendly than white and dyed fabric - but it has a consequence worth knowing precisely: THEY SHRINK 2-5 CM AT 30 DEGREES AND 8-10 CM AT 60. If you want traditionally long trousers, the supplier recommends buying one size above your height.

Questions and answers
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Which size should I choose?
The number in the selector is your height in centimetres, and the model comes in six steps from 160 to 210 cm. But do NOT just choose your own height: the trousers are unbleached cotton and shrink 2 to 5 centimetres when washed at 30 degrees and as much as 8 to 10 centimetres at 60. If you want the traditionally long trousers the cut is intended for, take one size above your height. Wash them cold day to day, and do call us if you are unsure what to order.
-
Do they get better with time?
Yes, and that is one of the reasons this kind of trousers has so many loyal users. Unbleached cotton is stiff and a little rough the first few times, but with every wash the fabric gets softer and settles better around the body. Many describe them as their favourites once they have found their shape. It does take patience at the start - and buying the right size, so they do not become too short along the way.
-
Can they be embroidered with a name or club logo?
Yes, we do our own embroidery. A club logo requires that the club has approved it and that we have the logo as an embroidery file - check under add-ons whether your club is already set up, and otherwise ask your club's coach or buyer. Note one condition: an embroidered item can be neither exchanged nor returned, as it cannot be resold. So be sure of the size first.
