That sites under construction :S .. Before I email them I figure I can run some questions by this thread and see if anyone has any answers. I'm tall and skinny (about 5'11 -130 pounds), by this site if I give them that description they will be able to make a custom fit for me. And if so does anyone know how they run their business? Shipping $? How dependable are they, etc.. Any answers would be appreciated, thanks!

My roommate is about the same size, 5'11, 145, has really long arms for his size. When you e-mail them they will send you a measuring chart where you can take your own measurements and they will custom tailor the gi to match. The price is very solid for the quality of the gi, myself and my roommates each own one and now people from my gym are starting to order them as well. No idea on the shipping cost since I only live about 2 hours away from them, but Egor is a great guy, he'll answer all your questions quickly and is very dependable.

do these guys actually custom tailor the fit of the gi as a whole, or just alter the length of the sleeves and the pants? judging from the website it looks like they just alter sleeve and pant length, which just about any tailor can do. granted, it's nice not to have to pay for it and to receive it at a proper fit, but i don't know if that's reason enough to persuade me away from a brand i feel more comfortable with.

if they altered skirt length also that'd be pretty swell. gis that fit my shoulders are typically too long in the sleeves and skirt.

For me it was just sleeves and pants, I'm not sure if they alter the gi as a whole, you could always e-mail them and find out.

I just sent them an Email asking for a general outline of the information I should send them when I want to order a GI. I'll update this when they respond.
