Shin-ei Washable Kote (protective gloves for kendo). 2mm/8mm stitched, synthetic fiber weave. Purchased for 16,500 yen. Machine washable. Very soft and easy to use. Made of jersey material for quick drying, making them ideal for intense practice such as club activities. They've been washed, so I don't think there's a bad smell. The right hand, which receives strikes, has a cushioning pad. Both palms have been repaired, but there are also unrepaired areas that are thin. This type is meant to be used while repairing, so if you can sew, you can repair them.
