7 reviews inside, now with pictures
I got my budovideos order monday, then today I got my MMAwarehouse order. Kudos to them for awesome shipping. They both shipped on the 17th and arrived in Okinawa on the 21st and 23rd respectively. Pics are up. and yes I know I have love handles, its my off season, and I haven't had a fight on this island, so no competion weight for two years. I usually fight at 190. Pic of all my no-gi/mma gear.

I dropped by the Budovideos store in Orange County, California with my brother to try on some gis.
the ISAMI Double Weave was, indeed, as comfortable as a bathrobe, but, I found the collar ridiculously soft and easy to manipulate so I'm puzzled at what you wrote above.
even my brother, who knows nothing about BJJ and gis, said the only way he could tactilely differentiate the ISAMI and all the other gis that I tried on there, e.g., VENUM, VULKAN, and etc., was the shoddiness of the collar.
perhaps you are describing the collar after washing the gi?

It has been washed, but that was straight out of the box. IDK it seems to have at least as good a collar as my Atama had, and better than my Mizuno's had.

I'm working on it, kinda hard to buy batteries at the moment, I'm working 16 hour days, and the px is closed when I get off. And if its between rolling and sparring, or trying to find batteries, guess what the choice is......
