The Kyokushin Gi jacket did not have tie strings on the sides to keep it closed. I assumed it was just an oversight by someone. I purchased some bias tape and made some ties and sewed them to the jacket top. While not as nice as the ones that came on my other GI's they have worked fine. Althought they probabvly wont be as durable as manufactured ones. Then I saw a post on a forum that someone purchased a Kyokushin Gi and it did not come with side ties. So is this normal? I am learning a different style of karate. Thanks.
