As long as you dont wash it in hot water or dry it, the gi shouldnt really shrink too much at all.

The Fuji isnt significantly looser than the Keiko, but a little. The sleaves feel loose enough that you had alot of arm mobility but at the same time hard for your opponent to grip. For me, it feel like a perfect cut. At least compared to all the others I have tried. Following what Ghosted said, I wash my gis in cold water and hang dry. Minimize shrinking just in case.

Some short conclusion:

pro:
Dry fast, Soft, light weight, Looks great, feels great.

Cons:

for my taste: to long skirt, to short drawsting, to thin collar

PERFECT for training

This is gonna be my first gi, $65 shipped from maols.com is a pretty decent price given the reviews. Stupid question.... what size belt should I get? I should be an A3 for gi size.

My blue Fugi A3 showed up last week and I have to say I really like it. The HCK came around the same time and it is good as well but for different reasons.

The Fugi is a perfect thickness, not too hot but seems durable. I also love the rich blue color that the Fugi has, it looks sharp. The logos are not to big and annoying (the whole reason I don't try many brands) Overall I think it's my new favorite.

The HCK is about the same thickness as the Fugi but as you all know the collar is very thick, which I suppose could be an advantage in regards to chokes but I have mixed feeling about it. The logos are very subtle on this one, I like that. The HCK seems very durable as well and I'll still alternate it with the Fugi but unless I'm trying to cheat on chokes I'll probably stick with the Fugi for most rolls.
