Freddy Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 I would go for the unbleached and depending on how much money I have i would go for double weave if i had the money. Thats what i would do =) Extraordinary abilities can only come from extraordinary effort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimc Posted February 24, 2005 Author Share Posted February 24, 2005 why the unbleached. http://jedimc.tripod.com/ma.html - what MA do you do, this is my poll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davison Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 I would buy a double weave gi. I have had my double woven gi for about 13 yrs now and the only thing that has went wrong with it was the collar has frayed over the years. It wolud probably be cheaper in the long run. Why punch someone when their on the ground when you can just kick them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddy Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 Becaus i like unbleached, theyre easy on your eyes ^^ Extraordinary abilities can only come from extraordinary effort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryMatt Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Becaus i like unbleached, theyre easy on your eyes ^^While I prefer the color of the bleached, the unbleached will not have other color gis bleed onto yours as much. Took me a four hour soak in Oxyclean to get the red of my sensei's gi out of my new bleached white one. Glad he switched to his black gi from now on. "In the void is virtue, and no evil.

aefibird Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 I'd go for the double weave - it'll be worth it in the long run. I'd prefer a bleached, but it's really down to personal (or Sensei!) preference. Make sure that if you buy an unbleached gi that you'll be able to wear it in your dojo - my old Aikido instructor would only allow people to wear bleached do-gi. "Was it really worth it?

jedimc Posted March 4, 2005 Author Share Posted March 4, 2005 I dont know guys I dont think I got enough money for a double weave, It doesnt matter I got plenty of time to buy a double one day. http://jedimc.tripod.com/ma.html - what MA do you do, this is my poll.

Jussi Häkkinen Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 For aikido, I'd recommend a light single weave. Stress isn't so heavy in aikido as it is in judo. If you are allowed to wear a hakama, get a white kendo jacket - one with a split in back. It's better when you're having those sidecuts, won't look like a hassle. A word of advice: If you don't wear a hakama, buy a single weave judogi and get a pair of heavyweight canvas pants with it. Usually the pants that come with light judogi (and even with double weaves) are pretty light fabric that will wear quickly in suwariwaza. It's worth to get an extra pair, preferably stronger fabric.
