Samue made in Japan Kurume *Import *Japanese clothes size

This is a very nicely made, comfortable samugi and a great value. Many samugi cost significantly more. In addition, I was very pleasantly surprised when mine arrived - from Japan, no less - in just a few days. The fabric is 100% cotton and is nice and soft. The cut is perfectly roomy but not so big as to get in the way. I use mine for morning zazen followed by gardening and yard chores. It's so comfy that I ordered a second set.As for sizing, I wavered between a medium and a large, and ultimately went with the large. I'm glad I did. I am 5'9", weigh 160 lbs, with a 40" chest and a 32" waist and a 31" inseam. I have an athletic frame. The large fit very well right out of the bag, with the legs being just a tad on the long side (but they have ankle tie-strings so not a problem). I ran it through the wash with hot water and then the dryer on high and it shrank the perfect amount and now fits even better. Shrinkage was fairly minimal, and that's all I needed, but be aware that you likely won't get a great fit if you order way too big and expect to shrink-to-fit later. Order the size you need, understanding that the sizing is Japanese sizing, which is about one size smaller than American sizing.

Super fast on the shipping date. Ordered it less than a week ago and got it in 5 days time. (Said it was supposed to come in between 2-4 weeks.)Material and stitching is great. No fraying stitches or any type of cheaper fabric used. Sizing for the pants and top fits really accurate in description. Accommodates many sizes.The pants are a bit long and that isn’t the manufacturer’s fault. Unfortunately that is due to my athletic build and genetics. My torso is a bit longer, muscular thicker thighs than most average people, and my legs are shorter compared to the median. So most pants don’t fit normally unless they stretch. But with some alterations about 1.5” is fine.

I wasn't entirely sure how this would work out. I've wanted one for a while, but I'm a pretty big guy, 5'11", 250, not gonna lie it isn't all muscle, and was worried nothing from Japan would fit. Fortunately I was proven wrong. I got the 2xl and it fit just perfectly. The top is pretty adjustable, but the shoulders and arms were absolutely perfect and comfortable. The pants too have an elastic band and then ties. Had plenty of room, length was great. Very comfortable and looks great I think. Super happy with this.

Very nice fits is comfortable and looks nice

This is my second-favorite samue ever -- and considering that my favorite cost $300 and came from a tiny shop in Japan, this one is hard to beat.I've traveled to Japan many times and picked up several samue over the years. Most of those have been the thick and heavy hemp variety -- e.g., like the cheap ones at Narita duty free if you've seen those. This product is NOT like those; the material is lightweight and very comfortable. This is a big advantage for sitting in particular -- such as sitting Zen -- because it does not have such thick seams and ankle areas.In addition to the superb comfort, there were two nice surprises with the pants: they have two front pockets and a zipper.As for sizing, I'm 5'8 and 145 lbs and the Medium size fits perfectly. It has held up well in the wash so far, but I will not machine dry it. It is light enough to dry overnight when hung on hangers after a machine wash.The one downside, I suppose, is that it is not really the right material to do heavy work such as yard work (which is when I wear the thick and tough hemp kind). This is more for housework, meditation, cooking, going to the hot springs (I wish!), substitute for pajamas, and so forth. I don't do martial arts but it seems like it should work for that.I love it and plan to order some more of the supplier's products -- after this good purchase with Amazon Prime, I may try some of their shipped-from-Japan items.

The expected delivery date was for a while later, but came in a whole month early.It's a bit big, but that's how they're suppose to be 'cause you know, comfort and all that.Quality material, would recommend for those wanting comfy home clothes but are also degenerate weebs.

In US shirt sizes I typically wear extra-large or double extra-large depending on whether I want it to be loose. I'm 5' 9" 215 pounds and work out. I was more concerned this samue would be long so unlike most reviewers, I had to order biggest size I could get to have any chance of having the shoulders and chest fit and then made every effort to shrink this thing to length. The first time I washed it in hot water and ran it through the dryer on High. I ordered this in Japanese Size XXXL. It's an almost perfect fit following my efforts to shrink it. Incidentally, this is very much like a martial arts Gi with several exceptions. A Gi has a diamond shaped piece of fabric in the crotch called a gusset which will allow more freedom of leg movement. This samue does not have that but the pants are quite comfortable regardless. Unlike a Gi, the jacket has a small pocket (shown in the picture) and there are additionally two pants pockets on either side. The ankles have drawstrings. The waist is elastic and additionally has a drawstring to secure it. The pants have a button opening and zippered fly

I ordered the black samue in size medium. It arrived more quickly than expected, and was very well packaged. I held it up and thought on no, it's huge! But much to my surprise, when I tried it on, it fit comfortably and looks good. The pants are somewhat large on me, so I had to tightly tie the ties at the bottom of each leg. But the jacket is perfect. There are four ties in the jacket so you can tie the inside and the outside. The fabric is a medium weight cotton and mine did not wrinkle. I took a chance to wash it in warm water on delicate in the washing machine and dry it on medium heat in the dryer. No shrinkage! No wrinkles. The inside tag warns you not to put it in the dryer, but I had enough extra room in the pants that I was willing to risk it. The outfit is so well made that it doesn't shrink. And I like it so much I may buy a second.

Very nice medium weight fabric. Quite durable. Perfect fit. Comfortable. Very fast delivery by FedEx. Had to pay an import fee of $28.

This is a really lovely item. The material is light and comfortable and has a nice texture. It is a very good fit, based on the measurements given on Amazon, and the blue colour is beautiful. It is well made and I feel confident it will last a long time. I am delighted with this purchase.

The fabric feels nice and sturdy. A little smaller than expected but still fits okay.The crotch is very shallow though. The waist band sits on my hip instead of over it.

Fast shipping. Duties were unexpected, but product was worth it. Fits great. Nice feel. Washes well. Will buy again.

Fits perfectly, good material, tgough a bit rough to the skin, reccomend to wear a tank-top underneath.
