Dragao
If I imported this from Brazil would you guys buy it if the price was fair?
I am kind of on the fence about this and want your guys 2 cents. Thick gi's just don't seem to be in any more.

I'm not at all a fan of the thick gi's. Plus there are so many more gi's out there that I want to try, this one would be down on the bottom of my list.

Yes, I would buy a Dragao kimono from a US retailer. Dragao has an excellent reputation in Brazil, and in fact makes kimonos for other brands (including, if I remember correctly, Rednose, which you currently sell). I've been leery of ordering from a foreign retailer, as if there are any problems with the item that ships, the resolution will be long and costly.

There is a guy at my gym from brazil who rocks one of these. It seems very well made. Depending on the price I might buy one.
