To use this gi, simply put on the jacket and pants like you would with any regular martial arts uniform. Before your first use, it's a good idea to wash it to make it even softer. When training, be careful not to snag the fabric on rough surfaces. For maintenance, wash the gi in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach as it can damage the fabric. Hang it to dry instead of using a dryer to prevent shrinkage. With proper care, this gi will last you through many training sessions.
