Description
A traditional means of keeping the sleeves of your Kimono raised to avoid your sword becoming snagged during the performance of Iai or drawing of the sword. As with a standard Gi this is however unnecessary due to the sleeves falling short at the wrist. The Shadow warrior uniform is no exception to the rule and has two eyelets sewed into the garment sleeves in order to accommodated and enhance the functionality of the uniform required of the Sageo cord, as with this function re-established for a Gi gives back the ability not just to raise the sleeves due to the additional weigh of the Gi as with the Kimono made of silk, but also to give free movement to the Shadow Warrior uniform, and to avoid any excessive movement of the fabric and combat gauntlets when worn.
The Sageo Cord used by the Shadow Warriors and produced by the KMA Association is constructed using a Twill fabric of which is extremely strong and durable. The Cord is folder over four times before being machine stitched by hand, then running the machine stitching three time down the full length before being folded to prevent fraying at the ends. The Sageo Cord measures 1.27 cm x 233.68 cm / 1/2 inch X 92 inch overall.
