my pants are a little small for me too after washing a few times. that's about my only critique I probably forgot to mention.

I have 2 on order, one for my brother and one for myself, really looking forward to them, i have a Gameness platinum weave at the moment, and my main criticism is the fabric is like sandpaper if i leave it drying too much, i actually had to wet the collar last night coz it was like rubbing the back of my neck against a file. I have heard many people praise the softness of the padilla, so hopefully i won't have that problem anymore.

Also the collar on the gameness is ridiculously thick i can actually stand my gi up against the wall. I am just hoping te A3 i have ordered won't be too big, my gameness is A3, and is perfect, but i believe the padilla is a looser fi, will update you all when i get them.

I finally bought a new gi (padilla and sons gold weave white), I have been using an old atama summer, and a hand me down atama gold. Prior to that I had used an OLD ouano (from 2002). I also was able to wear a Koral for several months when I was in Brazil. So that is what I compare this gi to.

No one ever emphasis the bad so here goes:

The cut is for judo, it is way to big in the sleeve cuff for BJJ. The torso of the gi is also very large. It is not tappered like other BJJ gi's.
The bottoms are tight, they are comparable to low rise jeans, they sit very low on the hips . . . Very low. The collar is not quite thick enough for my taste.

All that said I would/will get another one when this one is used up. For the price this is the best gi out there. I would give it a 7/10 overall


*edit*

I bump this rating up to a 9/10 because of the price and the Best customer service For ANY product I've ever purchased.
