I've had the idea of a nicer Gi in mind lately, for seminars, competitions, etc. What I was thinking was rather than outright ask for advice, I'd ask you guys to post up which Gi's you wear, what you think of it, and why you like or dislike it. Even post up some other Gi's you'd be interested in, and maybe it'll be useful to others who are Gi shopping. I'll go first.
I have two Fuji single weaves, a blue and a white one. Both A3's I think. They're good Gi's overall, nothing really special. They'll always be in my rotation until I ruin them. Good, solid affordable Judo gi's. I think there's about $150 in both of them.
What I like: Cheap, durable, comfortable enough, easily replaceable, cheap.
What I dislike: They feel cheap. Haven't had a problem yet but when you put it on, you know you're not really putting on a "nice" Gi. Also, my white one shrank more than I wanted but that's really my fault.
What I'm interested in: The Mizuno Ichiban is at the front of my mind. I also like the Eurocomp. Also, I don't know anything about it but I'm semi-interested in the Adidas one. Our club deals with Hatashita so we get nice deals on stuff they carry plus it helps the club if I buy from them.
I'll give them 3 out of 5. They're lots of Gi for the money, but I don't know many people who haven't upgraded yet.
