I received my Tokaido belt today in the USA about 2 1/2 weeks after I placed my order which was extremely fast. The quality of the material, length and size of my belt are perfect. The best part with my new Tokaido black belt is that it is very easy to tie. This is a bonus because it makes the belt easier to break in. To get the best quality from Tokaido in their belts and uniforms, it's always a best bet to go straight to Kuroobiya where the customer service and quality is the best. Hamed is a great communicator and he always delivers what he promises.
