personally, i'd only worry about this if the fabric you choose is particularly stiff, and even then i'm not sure it's worth it. i've got a fushida icon (judo) which is their stiffest, toughest gi. one of the nicer details they added was a brushed, soft flannel-like liner in the jacket for comfort. i was all about it at first, but after a few weeks it got matted down and didn't feel any more comfortable than any other broken-in double weave i had. in the end i wonder if it didn't just add more weight and collect sweat. i just checked their website and it doesn't look like they're offering that option in their icons anymore so who knows.
i am curious about the built in rash guard that the reevo kimura sports. but then again, i think most guys wear a rash guard anyway (which alleviates a lot of comfort issues). and a built in rash guard wouldn't protect against collar burns, which i think are the most common nuisance.
i dunno man. i'm just thinking out loud here, but i think your best bet is to just stick with a super soft gold weave for any of your heavier gis.
