So I originally had a meijin gi but those are just too expensive. I don't want one of those extremely thin gi's that make no sound (just my preference) so I need suggestions! It needs to be white, and I'm hoping to get it for a cheap price. Unfortunately as a college student my part time job only pays 7.25 an hour. Any links and suggestions would be appreciated! :karate:

The cheapest I own is a AUD$35 Gi that is from JOLS but doesn't make a nice crisp noise and that is a White Gi. My two other gi's are both white; 1 is a Tokaido and the other is a Seishin. But both of those make crisp noises but both are very expensive but worth it

My favorite inexpensive heavyweight gi is Ronin's heavyweight. About $65, depending on size. It's pretty similar to a Shureido K-10, cut-wise. Shureido's material is a lot better IMO, but the K-10 is a $200+ gi, so comparisons either way are unfair.

People also like KI's heavyweight and Mugen gis for about equal money. I think Ronin is a bit better in quality, and it personally fits me better.

Stay away from the middleweight gis; they're garbage unless you're buying a Shureido or Tokaido. I haven't seen every single middleweight gi out their, but I've never seen one that was good other than the high end ones.

I'm with JR 137, Ronin's heavyweight quality is very nice for the price. I switched from a Meijin tropical 10oz to a Ronin heavyweight 12oz myself and am happy.
ya know I hav had a couple heavy weights and both the sleeves just plain fell off. one wasa century ( i know) the other wasa tokaido granted a low end one but still. my 10 oz mugen has held up fantastically and I am a big dude https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152401633013745&set=t.1703439257&type=3&theater

this was taken in 2013 so the gi was only a couple months old

I have had mine for over 4 years and love it, the best fitting gi i have ever owned. makes a nice sound and is light enough ( the orange) for summer training in the heat.

A few guys I train with wear the KI Mugen Orange Label. It looks great for a 10 oz. gi. Actually, it looks good for any weight gi. KI stuff, especially the tournament cut stuff doesn't fit me right. Not much else does either though, gis or clothes in general.

I've been searching for a 10 oz. gi that fits right and is high quality. The only one I can think of is the Shureido K-11. At $175 it's out of my price range at the moment.

It would be nice if KI sold 10 oz black uniforms
