Description

A&P presents their next project with the B61 Grappling Force Kimono. Inspiration for this kimono comes from the style of 90s Jiu-Jitsu where big design patches could be found all over a competitor’s kimono. Aside from sponsor patches, competitors would have graphics printed onto fabrics and rock these patches proudly. A&P brings the 90s nostalgia to you with this tribute in the Grappling Force Kimono.

The B61 Grappling Force Kimono will be available in white with woven patches and accent stitching. Embroidered Mark logos can been seen on both upper sleeves of the top while dressed up with woven patches throughout the the entire kimono. The snake themed patches feature woven graphics instead of screen printed ones like in the 90s. That method of patch making tends to fade over time which is why we are offering a clean and lasting look with our woven patches. Each design either features a snake design or a snakeskin print within the patchwork. The ‘Grappling Force’ slogan can also be seen on the front skirt patch.

The kimono top is made of 450 gram pearl weave with 10 oz. canvas Novo pants. Signature drawstring tote bag accompanies this kimono for easy storage and carry.
