I had no idea the power of this thing. I couldn't believe how quickly I transformed. I put the headband on, and was crane kicking in minutes. I can even catch flies with chopsticks. It is truly an incredible product.

The tenugui is very nice quality and I've gotten many compliments on it.
Patrick
Awesome!! As expected!! Fast shipping! Thank you.

What’s great about this Hachimaki is that it isn’t some carbon copy of what was seen in the Karate Kid films. It feels exactly like what the character Daniel LaRusso wore and it is something I like to wear when I go work out. In all this is an amazing piece of nostalgia as well as a great headwear to have.
Keep up the good work everyone!

I am a 20 year old guy, and I absolutely love the Karate Kid movies (and now the Cobra Kai Youtube Red Series), and have ever since I was young! I have been looking for a Replica like this for a long time, I used to wear a Mameshibori Pattern Tenugui as a headband to replicate the look to an extent. However when I received this I was blown away by the quality of the material and screen printing, it is very accurate to the screen with length and design. However I pay a tremendous amount of attention to detail, and the dots on the band are a bit smaller, and the original headband is dyed not printed, Though I never could find a dyed one. (If you know of one please tell me!) I almost tried to make one, though dying a detailed pattern is terrible hard due to dye bleeding and what not. Aside from that, this is perfect and is very screen accurate. It gets some recondition sometimes and just looks and feels great, I wear it regularly especially since it is summer, it is great to soak it in water and wear it to keep cool. I also practice some Martial Arts and am on a path of self improvement and Fitness and so far it has held up. I am however waiting for the white to change color with sweat, but to preserve it I always rinse it in water after I sweat. It is so good I think I will buy another one to have for display and keeping in mint condition, while I beat this one up and use it for training inspiration and function!
Time to go to Leo Carrillo Beach and do some Crane Kicks!

I like the quality of the printing and the size of the material. I do not like how its fraying on the ends of the cloth from the first use. I'm a trendy guy that is lean and muscular who is between 5'10" to 6' and weighs between 176 to 200 pounds (79-90 kg). I got this costume and it fits just right. The graphics were as expected/described on the website.

is pretty good as a prop or as a using accesory. Good quality. The graphics were as expected/described on the website.

Giancarla

It's a cool headband for my 80s party. I'm a trendy guy that could afford to lose a few pounds who is between 5'7" to 5'9" and weighs between 151 to 175 pounds (68-79 kg). I got this shirt in size KKID032 and it fits just right. The graphics were as expected/described on the website.
Fred
Karate Kid was my favorite movie when I was a kid and I always wanted the "Mr. Miyagi" headband but couldn't find anything close. This tenugui is spot on to the original and is actually made with a real tenugui towel and it is quite comfortable to wear. The price is hard to beat and the quality is phenomenal! Seriously, buy it and see for yourself. I can personally guarantee that you will be crane kicking your way to victory in no time. I'm a laid back guy that is lean and muscular who is between 5'10" to 6' and weighs between 176 to 200 pounds (79-90 kg). I got this shirt in size KKID032 and it fits just right. The graphics were as expected/described on the website.

First off, people will get what it is that you are wearing. To be picky, the print is more of a dark navy blue than a pure black. Secondly, the fabric is so thin that it has to be folded just right so that the folded pattern doesn't show through. Again, very poor fabric so there are loose strings that hang off the end and I'm not sure how many washings that it will hold up to. I honestly expected more for the price.

For the price I was expecting a higher quality material and emblem. I regret not just purchasing the much cheaper one on amazon.
CARL
Purchased as a gift. Recipient is a male who is 21-30 years old. This was for my son who loved the Karate Kid Movies and like myself, studied martial arts for a number of years himself. I wanted to give him a genuine article, rather than one that simply "looked like" it so I looked around and found this. If he decides to actually wear it - well - I gave him 2 so he'll have a backup :)
Cindy
Purchased as a gift. Recipient is a male who is 31-40 years old. The only negative to the product is that the ends of the tenugui was not hemmed and already starting to fray.
JIMME
I love it. Delivery was really fast; I recieved it within one week.
CEDRIC
Great and classic item to have.
VAILLANT
Purchased as a gift. Recipient is a female who is 13-20 years old. She adored it. It was exactly like the one from the movie!
MIGUEL
The item was exactly as described. True reproduction/movie quality item.

When I first found this product, my eyes leaked with tears of pure joy. After an anticipated wait, I received this replica, and once I applied it to my head, I felt the full power of a "karate kid". Not only did the babes dig it, I also received the strength of a wildebeest and the agility of a spider monkey. Instead of training, this tenugui latches to your head and the tentacles of pure wisdom and honor give you the power you desire. In my time with this product, I have already defeated darkness in my city, as well as defeating this bully at my school in a karate competition. Need less to say, this tenugui allowed me to rise in ranks from pure scum, to apex predator.
Kimberly Roterman
Thank you, you are always fast and accurate with everything I have ordered,I love your company, and I am very impressed. Thank you, Kim Roterman
Michael Messmer
Great reproduction of the Tenegui that Daniel san wore. Would have preferred that the flower symbol was dyed into the fabric rather than screen printed.
Ellen Shurman
The wrap definitely looks authentic and does the job, but the quality could have been a little better for the price. The edges of the wrap are unfinished on two sides, so I had to hem them to prevent fraying. The pattern is stamped with an ink/paint that lays on the surface of the fabric. This became an issue when I tried to iron the wrap to keep the folds in place—the ink smeared a little. Next time, I will use a lower setting and iron through a cloth. Service, communication, and shipping time were great.
Service was excellent and
Matt
I bought one last year to go with my Mr. Miyagi costume. I met Ralph Macchio and he signed it for me. Decided to be Daniel this year so I knew I had to get another from 80stees. Great product! Shipped super fast. Awesome customer service. Thanks!
sal
I have been looking for a high quality replica that actually looks just like the head band worn by Ralph in the movie...well, the search is over. This is the real deal!!! Super high quality, great detail, great price, it is not just a head band but an actual Japanese Tenugui portraying the iconic Lotus Flower in BLUE color (unlike the black color used by most of the cheap copies out there!!).
This is a must for collectors!!
Ben O from New York, NY
This thing is so awesome. I wear it to work out at my crossfit gym.
TeeJay from Finger Lakes, N
Great buy. Love the design. Just like the movie.
brontolo from sardinia
things that are great abaut it
raven_wyld from South Australia
bought this for my boyfriends birthday. we love the karate kid and most things 80s. he also does karate so i figured he would love it.;the only down side is that the fabric is kind of transparent and the pattern is bright blue when i expected it to be darker.;the frabric also seems a bit scratchy.
kind2311 from so cal
The flower/leaf design in the middle should be slightly larger and the dots/dot pattern should be larger with the dots being spaced further apart from each other. Besides that, this is an awesome piece and is worlds better than the cheap costume one sold elsewhere all over the web. I wear it at work (a pizza joint) and people always ask if I make Sushi too or if I've got Mr. Miyagi back there in the kitchen lol!
Mnm from Irvine, ca
Somewhat frayed on ends but gives it character.
Eze2kiel from Ituzaing█ - Bu
I made the purchase to read the positive comments people posted it already bought.;The truth I was disappointed to receive the product. First, the price is high for a product which is a fabric material that is cheaper to buy me a business here and better quality. The fabric is fraying...;The only good product is the design of stamping. As is the film.;The rest isn't worth it.
Hashim the Kara from Bronx, NY
I like the product. I is so real like. The other ones I bought or so fake and unrealistic. easy to fold. I wish I knew more about the paint or the die. Other than that i like it, it makes me feel realy good in karate class. I suggest you buy it.
Trev.D from Vancouver, BC
Everything worked out well. [...] No problems. Will definitely shop here again.
Becca from Austin, Tx
I purchased this for my husband for his birthday, and besides the pattern part being a dark blue color (I always thought it was supposed to be black?), it looks like the real thing. Also, there is a little fraying on the edges, but I guess that gives it a more authentic look. Takes a couple minutes to figure out how to get it to correct wrapping size (not too wide) but it wasn't a big deal. Hubby is happy so it's awesome!
Karate Kid from Flint, MI
It was already starting to fray on the ends right out of the pakcage. It is nice otherwise, I wish it came with instructions on how they had it folded in the movie, it was difficult to get it to match the look of daniel
tripleasg from AZ
really cool product!
Stefan the arti from South Bend, IN
I received the Karate Kid Tenegui as a gift from my older sister when I began to take martial arts classes as an adult. Growing up with the Karate Kid movie, it is impossible to ignor that the movie had a lasting impression.;When I received it in the mail, I exploded in laughter! I knew full well why the gift was chosen. Still, the quality of the product was great (well made and designed) and I was glad to have it! 20 or so years after the movie, the memory lives on in my house!
ninja from CT
Great for working out.
The Karate Kid from CA
I bought this for my husband for an 80's theme party! He got so many compliments!!!!! Anyone who is particular with quality should love this.
Jon from Washington, DC
We bought this as a gift for an... eclectic friend at a going-away party, and he absolutely loved it. He wore it all night!
Bobby from Holland

TJ from Chicago,IL
Greatest product invention ever! Now get to work on those Kai Skeleton costumes. I need those in stock asap!
B from Southington, CT
Excellent headband. Just like the real thing. You can wear this daily for working out or doing yard work. You fold this headband, just like the real thing. This is a definite buy if you want the real headband.
JoeJoe from VB AR
You might have to fold it a few times till it looks correct on your head, it is a bit frayed at the ends but fray is good.
Db from Stratford, CT
I wore the product to a Halloween party and am going to wear it again to another party this weekend.
Danny K from Clifton, VA
good quality
Brandon from Albany, GA
This product serves as a great head/sweat band when i play tennis, not to mention a really cool attention getter. I love it.
Nat from Boulder co
This piece is amazing. I feel like I can kick some cobra kai butt now!!!
David-san from Iowa
I own a couple versions of the "Karate Kid" headband and this is by far the best. This is an actual tenegui and you have to fold it a couple of times to wear it. It looks very authentic and I always get compliments when I wear it. The only slight problem is that it's black rather than dark blue but other than that, it's perfect.
Mr. V from Austin, Tx
OK but not worth [$]! Faded w/ one wash.
karate kid from LA
[...] good quality.
sake from seattle, wa
the edges aren't sewn, but other than that...it's worth the $
Shaolin from Bay Area, CA
Looks just like the movies', except black...no biggie though.
joey two tone from lake jackson,tx
this product is awsome,all my friends amazed with it cause they only seen it in the movie, and i wore it to the houston supercross in reliant stadium and it attracted alot of attention,i got called daniel alot and karate kid.
The Kimono Guy from Bradenton, FL
Every other Karate Kid headband I've found is not a real foldable headband. This one is the real thing. The only thing that isn't quite right is the color. The design print should be a dark navy blue instead of black, but this is a small flaw compared to the positive attributes of the headband. Despite getting one detail wrong, this is a great product and I would recommend it to anyone!
DrewChubbs from Middle America
This isn't as high quality as I thought it was, based on the web site pictures. However, it's still a wonderfully fun, cool, and awesome piece that really brings back the memories from the 80's. I wish they had these when the movies first came out. I totally would've taken karate lessons!
MATTHEW 1995ORA from GROVE CITY OHIO
no complaints i could sware i own the one ralph macchio wore in the movie just for the future try to make it in blue the ones in part one and two were blue part three and the next karate kid were black sorry i pay very much attention to details.
Cheryl from Greenbelt, Mary
