We will be working on different editions and different touches for the inside of the gi forr extra comfort.

Currently SHOYOROLL.COM is sold out of kimonos for the presale. Budovideos.com and NHBGEAR have a limited run of sizes in stock if you are looking to pick up one of the gi's.

Thanks guys..

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.

$.04!

yeah, the blue looks nice but i'd be pissed if i'd preordered based on the blue/orange combo. i thought that looked much nicer, and am curious why they ended up going with the white/grey stitching instead. it's quite bland by comparison, and it's been done before by a few other companies.

glad i got the white!!

Both are great looking gis. I like the blue/silver combo better but I also liked the orange combo.

I'm pretty sure you can still order it from budovideos, as they make no indication that it's sold out

Hey Vince, Just wondering if the sizing is similar to the last batch ? A friend of mine tried on my A3 black star and the fit was pretty good but any smaller would be bad. What would you recommend for the last batch A3 or A4 ?? (hes prolly ordering the blue one if that helps).

what happened to the blue and Orange? I preordered mine and I loved the colors. Does anyone know why they changed the color patterns so much?
