Looks like that Mizuno gi is not available in Canada

I used to have the Mizuno Conquest back in the day and it was badass. Jorgen: I used to love my MKimonos Hybrid gi. It was like wearing pajamas. That company seems to have vanished once they went overeas.

I was recently sponsored by Respectsportswear and they have sent me their 'Tiger' Gi. It's AWESOME. I have spent upwards of $300 NZD on Gi's but this is easily the nicest one I have now. They're only $190 with free delivery in NZ and international purchases over $135 are free delivery also. Super cool company sponsoring practitioners and coaches/ instructors, not just competitors. https://www.respectsports[...]o.nz/shop/ If you like you're all welcome to use the discount code I've been given to save 10% on things not already on sale. Code: Krocbjj The more I Wright the more this sounds like a pitch... Not my intention it's just awesome gear. Full disclosure, I get something out of you using the code above but not anything that's going to pay my mortgage. Also check out my good friend and one of my North Island coaches Travis Browne, he applied for the coaches sponsorship after I told him about it and got selected also! It's a great company with awesome values and I'd like it to do well. Feel free to delete this if it violates something but I thought it helps out my sponsor and gives everyone a better deal. Cheers Whanau (family) (I'm also a big fan of the Tatami Gi's but don't tell Respect I said that) ')

I like my Shoyorolls now, but I was a big fan of Origin Gi's from Maine USA. But their order and then manufacture approach annoyed me too much after long waiting periods on the gi's.

How is the collar on those?

It says 'product of New Zealand', read into it what you will. AWESOME GEAR THOUGH!

My favourite gi though is my navy, Fuji AllAround gi.

If you like these the closest I've been able to find is the Tatami Nova Minimo as far as comfort.

Hemp gis straight from down under https://leafware.com.au/ . Overall Australia has some really cool small gi brands I was not aware of before coming here :) . In America is a cool one https://fortythievesclothing.com/, that gi lasted forever. Pants ripped with heavy usage in 3 years. I do not know but gi pants get ripped and jackets get holes.

I've had a fair few gis over the years. Tatami, Scramble, Valor, Kingz and Storm have all made an appearance at some point or another. I'll be diplomatic and leave out my least favourite gi! Currently, I love my Kingz Nano gis. They fit really bloody well. Favourite gis ever though, were my purple Estilo by Tatami and my green Valor Bravura. Both were gifts, and both have since perished due to mat time.

What about the red tatami?!

Cool, I've not heard of Leafware before! I have several hemp gis (Datsusara, Flow, The Green Gi), so it would be interesting to compare them to Leafware's offering. Have you got one? https://leafware.com.au/c[...]ural-white Judging by the pic, the cut looks tighter than Datsusara gis I have, which is appealing. Is that $219 in Australian dollars, or US? If Aus, that's around £120 (not bad for hemp), but if it's US, it's £180 (not quite so affordable, though still fairly standard price for hemp gis). :D I'm planning to go to Australia again at some point in the future (no idea when, but hopefully in the next 3 or 4 years), so could pick one up while I'm there.

I have had Koral, HCK, Padilla and Sons, 2 x Lucky gis, Hyperfly (Judofly) and most recently Submission Sniper (Brucie). Koral... Eventually shrunk too much for me and I gave it away. Now it has turned silver (was black) but still going strong. HCK... indestructible but also very rough and a poor cut for me personally. Padilla and Sons... single weave and still in good shape, but I don't like the pants and the cut is funny for me. Lucky.... great bamboo gis and great fit for me. Amazing customer service. One has shrunk too much in the trousers now and its jacket ripped after a few years of hard wear, but stitched it up and it has been fine since! Hyperfly Judofly... trousers ripped within a few months, got offered 15% off my next purchase, not buying anything from them again. Submission Sniper... very high quality gi for the money, wow. Great fit for me too (Braulio cut). New favourite :)) expecting it to last well.

I've become a fan of the Sanabul Essentials gi's. Cheap, durable and haven't fallen apart yet. More importantly, they're cut long in the sleeves (maybe too much) and long in the pants so they fit my 6'4' ass pretty well.
