French Army Judo Uniform

French Army Judo Gi

This is a complete judo uniform from the French Army: wrap-front jacket, matching trousers and belt, all in natural cream cotton. A judo gi has to survive constant gripping and throwing, and this set is cut for exactly that. Martial artists after a plain, sturdy training gi will find it useful, and collectors of French military kit get a piece of issued gear most surplus collections lack.

Features

• Three-Piece Set — The uniform is a jacket, a pair of trousers and a matching belt, so it is ready to wear as one outfit.
• Cotton Construction — The whole set is cotton, the traditional judo material because it takes a hard grip and breathes during training.
• Textured Jacket Weave — The jacket body has a visibly textured weave that gives a partner something solid to hold for grips and throws.
• Wrap-Front Jacket — The jacket crosses over at the chest in the standard judo cut and is held closed by the belt rather than buttons.
• Drawstring Trousers — A cord at the waistband lets you tighten the trousers to fit, and the loose legs leave room to kneel, squat and move.
• Matching Cotton Belt — The belt is the same natural cream cotton as the jacket and trousers and wraps around the waist to close the jacket.
• Red Emblem Patches — A red circular emblem is sewn to the lower front of the jacket and to the trouser waistband.
• Natural Cream Color — The set is a plain off-white with no dyed panels or contrast trim.

Genuine French Issue

This uniform was originally issued by the French Army. It is the real government article, not a commercial gi with a military badge sewn on afterward. The cut is the traditional one: a wide-sleeved jacket, full-cut trousers and a long belt. That makes it as practical on the mat as it is in a collection of French service kit.
