adding my $.02 to the mix:

the fuji is a good gi. it's soft, strong, holds up well to abuse, and has a good tight bjj fit. it will, however, shrink A LOT if you allow it to. once you get it to the size you want it, wash it in cold water and don't even get it NEAR a dryer. it will continue to shrink even after the first one or two major wash/dry cycles, and if you're accustomed to putting your gis in the dryer - even on low - i can almost guarantee you that one day you're gonna look in the mirror and think "holy shit, where did my sleeves go?" this was one of my first gis back before i knew not to put the things in the dryer, and the thing never stopped shrinking. it lost at LEAST one full size over 6-8 wash cycles before i clued up. i still train in it, it's just not legal for competition and no longer wraps hip to hip.

Alright. I'm severely embarrassed. I didn't notice that this was a random white belt bump.
