new Satori gi arrived yesterday

[kheb3350]

Some of the posters here recommended the Satori gi's a while back. Well I went for the plunge and mine arrived yesterday. Spent the afternoon washing and drying it. Just ironed it and tried it on.

First impressions are very good. I have a Kamikaze America which I also like but the fit is SO much better because it is custom. Plus the material is very different/interesting and the stiching is better quality. Attention to the small details (such as the label and easy to tie drawstring) is good. So I am very happy so far and am off to the dojo in a hour to try it out.

Cool, I've had mine for several years now, and it is still in excellent condition. I think you will enjoy the added room in the armpit area which is designed for full range of motion without the bottom of your jacket coming out over your belt

I hope you weren't watching "will and grace" while you did this.

On a more serious note, I have not heard of this brand, how much was it and was it worth the money?

Sensei Rick:

I bought mine several years ago, a 12oz. black gi, and had it custom fitted to my measurements. At the time it cost me $130US. Hope this helps

P.S.

In my mind it was worth the $$

To be honest I can't remember the exact price. I seem to remember around UK£80. This makes it around US$150. I paid international postage and customs on top of that (in UK). So overall it was expensive. Was it worth the money? Yes I think so without the customs and excise. I intend to order another one within the next week or so. However, I will get it sent to a relation in Chicago. Then pick it up from there when I travel there in March.

Okay, just don't iron your gi!!!!!

Their website is http://www.satori-gi.com/ and I think it is $140 or $150 for a custom Gi they make a 15 oz which may be more.
