oh yeah one note on isami kimonos

the cut of the sleeves are a little wider than some other brands. it is similar cut to the dumau kimonos. it doesn't bother me, but if you like gis that fit like rash guards beware. i know some of the people i roll with THINK it makes a diffrence but i haven't really noticed it

Although it's marketed as a BJJ kimono, the gi I'd say is basically a judo kimono. Nothing wrong with a judo kimono, just some people should be aware of what they are actually getting. It's a beautiful kimono btw.

yeah sleeves ARE wider, i thought maybe because i'm skinny.

and yes it is similar to a judo gi, although i got an all shashiko fabric. it does have a seam running in the back
