Specify a Fabric
Our durable 12 oz. preshrunk 100% cotton duck, one of the heaviest on the market, is specially processed to stay looking new. It tends to stand away from the body, allowing more ventilation than thinner "clingy" fabrics. The White fabric has negligible shrinkage. The Black fabric shrinks 2" to 3" in length, and dogi are cut to accommodate this.
Our mid-weight 8.5 oz. 100% cotton drill is durable and tightly woven. It has a pliable hand, but is not clingy, and it needs no breaking in period. Our 8.5 oz. dogi have minimal shrinkage. Please order your usual size, following the Size Chart below. Available in White only.
