    Maybe to make people realise that dead people appear once married. These are the future zombie makers.

    Because they're not properly trained in Japanese manners. Anglo-American-European dress customs have women's blouse's buttons on the opposite side from men's shirts, and these people are trying to carry over the ingrained patterns they grew up with.

    See also such items as wrap dresses:

    I was about to include this one

    "Mizuno Judo Uniforms"

    But realised that the label tag was on the wrong side and the Mizuso M was back-to-front - a "flopped" photo. Another one from the same site, same product, same model doing something other than judo...

    What do you mean? It's worn correctly, left over right.

    But no flopping here.
    The only flopping will be when he gets that knee in the groin and falls to the floor!

    In the Kyudo Ryu I trained in the females wore their hakama tied to the side an we to the front.No one was a zombie though lol

    I suspect from the poorly tied obi and the other models on the same site, a photographic company did all the shots for this.


    And here's this girl again, obviously chosen because she looks somewhat Asian, and that's about where her connections to judo end. Love that she's allegedly modelling a judogi, but is wearing taekwondo shoes...

    But what a terrific stance. And a Black/red obi too! These zombies really have some unorthodox style.

    The reason she can't break the bricks is that her hand passes straight through them.

    Could it be said that suppliers are not concerned with martial art formalities, they have a product to sell, not a appropriate dress codes

    That could be true. On the other hand, "know your customers" is as true in martial arts circles as anywhere else. John T. Molloy, the author of "Dress for Success," tells the story of some Texan businessmen whom he advised not to wear bolo ties and cowboy boots to a particular meeting in New York. He says the men said "If they don't like the way we dress they can go to hell," to which he replied, "Yes, but they'll go there without buying your products."
