Women's gi tops?

[bjones0727]

The Fenom Kimono site is pretty cool ! I've been looking for a new Gi and am way too picky about what I want for how much I want to pay.

I'm super surprised at the prices for that website (in a good way) and might actually go for one of those even though I'm not practicing BJJ. I really just wanted an all cotton white top or two to be able to dye pretty colors. All cotton black pants because they'd go with everything. But for the price of one set separately, of exactly what I want, its almost more than one of those sweet Fenoms.

Any other women fit Gi suggestions ? I'm 5'0" 110lbs roughly. I don't like the shorter tournament style pants which seem to be what I keep ordering and I didn't even know it. (20 years in MA and I never knew there were different lengths for competition vs training... embarrassing..)

As for Rateh, having trained in both karate cut as well TKD cut, I never had near the problems with the TKD tops being too big or bothersome as I have with the karate cuts. I honestly cannot think of a karate cut Gi top that has ever fit me "well" but, for some reason, I still prefer them and am desperate to find one that fits nicely rather than just getting a do bok top that I know will fit just fine...

I totally understand the coming open struggle. I also find my belt constantly rides up. But as far as a uniform that I find fits well, I HIGHLY suggest the ProForce Gladiator uniform or the ProForce Medium weight uniform. They are both sold by AWMA.com

The Gladiator is cut more generously in all areas and seems to stay put better. I also love their Gladiator Combat pants. Not only are they cut larger in the legs, they also have a back pocket.

I've tried several other brands and cuts, and these seem to fit me best. I'm by no means a bean pole. I'm about 5'3" and 185. I haven't tried the Century uniform, but I've heard they are super long. Which may not be a bad thing in my case since I'm not small on the back side either
