Ahh, there I go leaving things out again; The style I'll be studying is a variant of Karate; perhaps a bit of grappling, but not much. General use; no particular requirements other than those I mentioned above; kicks in this style generally don't hit above the waist. Watch your knees, though. The reason I'm staying away from Century is the last time I checked, the only uniforms available from them were cotton-poly blends, and those things become quite the furnace after an hour or so; also, the quality was TERRIBLE. However, this was a good 2 or 3 years ago; perhaps build quality has improved since then? IdiotSavant

Good day, everyone; It's getting to be time to pick up a new dogi; I'm looking for a medium-weight cotton or brushed cotton-canvas karate gi, with a twist: I'd like to find one with an extra-long jacket, such as those offered by Anshin Designs (The #92 style) or the Hayashi Legend dogi shown here. If at all possible, I'd like to keep the price under $100 dollars; about 80 dollars would be most appropriate. If anyone has a review of either of the above uniforms, and perhaps a US retailer for the Hayashi, I'd love to hear what you have to say. Also, if you have worn one of these 'long-tail' styled unforms, I'd love to hear your opinions on them. So, any suggests for brands I might have missed? Both of the unforms above have jackets reaching to approximately 2" above the knee; this uniform will be my only current uniform, so I'd like to get something of decent quality. I thank you for your time. IdiotSavant
