I'd like a heavyweight gi, with a Japanese cut, but long jacket length. I bought a Kata Master go off karate-kid and it is nice (although the blue tint disappeared in the first wash  ) but I would prefer something a bit heavier. Any other recommendations for a place where I can get a cheap gi of this spec- without buying poor quality? I don't think I want another brushed cotton, as, although it feels nice, the material tends to stick once you start sweating. |

Someone (an adult) at my club has this suit from The Martial Artists: www.themartialartists.co.uk/products.php?cat=9It's about halfway down this page. The one that Carrie (at my club) has looks really nice and seems to be good VFM. When I need another cheaper suit I might get one. |

This picture and description of this Gi looks identical to this one Light Weight Karate Gi White Senior I bought from Icon Martial Arts www.iconmartialarts.com/html/body_karate2.htmlIf it's the same Gi - it's actually made and sold by Playwell: Karate Uniform Deluxe White P/Cwww.playwell.co.uk/store/acatalog/Karate_Uniforms.htmlIt's a nice Gi (Icon are great for customer service BTW) but I don't like the cut of it, the front seems too short for me and as Angela has already written the material tends to stick once you start sweating - but for the price a great Gi. |

Hmmm. I woud only go for 100% cotton anyway, because I am a snob  The heavyweight would be more like it really, but they are full length and the skirt looks a bit short. I need to win the lottery so i can justify getting a couple of made to measure ones. .oO{dream} |

Hah, it would be just my luck that I'd buy a made-to-measure gi and then either have dramatic weight-loss or dramatic weight-gain so that it would no longer fit!!
Still, I'd like to have a made-to-measure gi. Hey, a gi where I don't have to have the trouser legs taken up would be a start...
