We were standing on the lawn near the pool in our bright white dogis, he with his black belt and I with my white.
2009, Percival Everett, I Am Not Sidney Poitier, Influx Press, page 301 more example
Ninpo is a living art and that means the shidoshi-level teachers are all artists of a very physical nature with their own creative viewpoint being exercised to bring the traditional learnings of the schools into alignment with their own personality and the reality of our times. This means that dogi are sometimes replaced with cammies when people are training in the woods or street clothes when training in town.
