The White Label set is the perfect compromise of price and excellence, and is specifically designed for use in shiai. Capturing the comfort and refined style of the Shogun Kendogu brand, almost every aspect and dimension of the White Label can be modified to match your preferred specification – including length and depth of curve in the kote tsutsu (forearm).
The men-dare are sewn with a naname stitch that allow them to drape effortlessly down the shoulders. A 7mm sashima (stitch pitch) across the top of the head and down the shoulders offers a high level of protection, and total freedom of movement at the same time. The light weight duralumin grille and comfortable cotton inside padding make this men a pleasure to wear first time, every time.
Designed with the principles of simplicity, light weight, and freedom of movement in mind, the White Label set is recommended by our expert team as an ideal set for kendo shiai. The very best know the physical and psychological importance of having a custom built set of gear – and from the snug and secure fit of the men and the tare, to the astonishing flexibility of the orizashi kote, this refined and sophisticated set of this bōgu will help to give you the competitive edge.
As a custom made set, the White Label provides a fit and level of comfort that similarly priced ‘off-the-shelf-items’ cannot offer. As each item in this set is built from scratch for every customer, please expect an 18-20 week wait from the date of payment until the date of dispatch.
