Simple Samue
$435 (top and pants) | $285 (top only)
A basic and practical all-purpose samue (top and pants) designed for functionality and comfort in both zazen and physical activity. The samue top features an easily-accesable front pocket on the lower left side, as well as a reinforced neck for durability. The pants are cut loosely for easy movement, and have an elastic waistband and two side pockets. It is recommended to talk to your practice leadership about whether there are specific guidelines around wearing samue in your community.
