Damages, Defects & Assessment Procedure
Please inspect your order immediately upon receipt. Any claim for manufacturing defect must be reported within 48 hours of delivery and include clear photographic evidence before the item is worn or used.
The following are not considered manufacturing defects:
- Excessive or uneven force applied to drawstrings, waistbands, closures, or seams
- Stress concentration at a single tension point
- Improper adjustment, fastening, or tightening
- Damage occurring during first wear due to handling or force
- Stretching, seam strain, or tearing caused after delivery
Textile products including samue, haori, tabi, and martial garments require gradual and balanced adjustment. Concentrated pulling force at a single entry point may cause fabric stress. Such damage is classified as post-delivery handling and is not covered.
All defect claims are subject to technical review. We reserve the right to request additional photos or video evidence.
Non-Returnable Items
- Antique products & clearance items
- Customized or personalized products
- Handmade & made-to-order items
- Items showing signs of wear, use, alteration, washing, or post-delivery damage

Exchanges
To exchange an item, please return the original product (if eligible) and place a new order once the return is approved.
