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.

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...
But what's her excuse?

Whoops! It was early Monday morning, so my brain was dead!

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.

I'll think of a proper sig when I get a minute...
For now, I'm just waiting for the smack of the Bo against a hard wooden floor....
The reason she can't break the bricks is that her hand passes straight through them.

Here's a happy group wearing the "Zen and Martial Arts Yukata" from Chopa Zen Home & Gift:

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