Grenadier Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 I've found that lightweight uniforms (cheaper ones, especially) that have troubles staying tied shut, can be helped by a spraying of the ties with some starch. This will give the strings a bit more tack, and could possibly hold things together a bit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aru Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Hi guys, I'm getting a new lightweight uniform soon and want to avoid the limpness my previous one had. I've had bad experiences with starching shirts with spray-on starch in the past. What specific brands do people use, ahow heavy/thick do you spray it on?Thank a lot!

aefibird Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 I spray tons of starch on my gi when I'm ironing it for competition or special training use (e.g. seminars, demo's). You probably shouldn't use as much as I do () but I've found that the more I use, the better results I get. The best way to avoid that 'limpness', however, is to buy a heavier/thinker gi.

Lazyeyedhobo Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Why do schools make people wear gis anyway? A muscle man shirt that says hard rock cafe on it and some cool black sweat pants would be more comfortable and look cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
