Yamato SakuraUnbleached Single Weave Judo Gi Uniform

This was sold at a great price, and was pretty much exactly what I was looking for. I love the natural color.Cons:~ It doesn’t have side ties on the gi. I miss those; it gapes open and I have to tug it shut during class. (Easy enough to attach my own, since they're on the inside. I may.)~the belt is a bit flimsy; i can see where it has stretched out slightly in the knot area.~gi could be longer (but I’m tall for the size, more below)Pros:~The belt, while it probably won't last as long as the more durable ones, stays closed better than stiffer ones.~The gi is surprisingly well made, with reinforced fabric sewn into the underarms and on lapel-grabbing area. (I say surprisingly, since it was the least expensive gi I found in this style; I paid only $55.)~the gi fabric is soft and comfortable, even after drip drying! (My sensei has one that looks just like it, but I think was a more expensive one, and he drip dries his, and has said people have commented on the scratchiness. Not this one!)~I love the natural color which a friend said is more flattering with my fair skin than a stark white, and I agree.~I love the fit!Regarding fit: I’m a tall woman, 5’ 10”, and wear size 6 pants and typically a medium shirt. I wanted a slim fit, I was so tired of my first gi which was size 4 and so swimmy and oversized and cut for a man’s shoulders. I sized down to a size 2 for this one. It works! Pants are capris on me, and the gi is short in the arms, but those are desirable for my style martial art (Aikido). The gi could be a smidge longer (maybe I shouldn’t have dried it that one time on low heat). I hang the pants and gi to dry now, and they’re actually comfy and soft, not scratchy after hanging dry, or if slightly so it’s quickly gone with wearing. Pants are a smidge tight at first but actually loosen up with wearing after each laundering and then are perfect. I love the slim look. I will try another brand next for a longer gi, because it does ride up, but I still like it. Really, it’s very good for the price!! (I paid $55.)

Bought this for a light weight aikido gi. Material is comfortable and soft. I probably wouldn’t use this for judo, as I think it would likely be a bit light.Pros: - Soft, comfortable - No logos - Reasonably well cut - PriceCons: - Shrinks up a bit more than expected. In other brands, I tend to buy a 4 and shrink them up to fit. My wife tends to get a 3 and then shrink to fit. In this case, after shrinking, this gi fits my wife better than me. - The shrink up puckers the fabric on the pants. It’s not a problem, but does make for a perpetual wrinkly look.

Starts off big like most new gis, so I put it thru one wash. First thing I noticed was the shorter drawstrings on the pants, this makes it harder to tie a good knot. I'm not fat but I think this could be problem for those with some stomach bulge. I replaced the drawstring with one from an old torn up pants of another gi and found that this gi's drawstring was 4" shorter than my other.It's only the first day using it, but so far I found the top body gi to have softened, the pants though still have stiff feel. I don't notice that issue while training just after I've taken it off.

Durable, heavy cotton material, and it doubles as a sauna suit if your dojo doesn't have air conditioning. :D :D :DNote that it does take forever to dry even with the aid of a dryer, so if you go to class a lot, you might want to keep a spare in rotation.

Thick, good material. The unbleached is nice. Generously sized.

Feels like a good quality gi. I bought size 5, as recommended, but it is quite large for me, 160lb, 5'10". The pants were about 6 inches too long before washing in hot water and drying. After 6 washes, it's still too large but wearable. I'll try size 4 next time. I really like how soft it is compared to the bleached gis I have worn.

It was a little large but a hot wash and dryer cycle it shrinks down quite a bit. So far it seems to be durable enough.

I ordered a size four. I am 5'6 and 200lbs. When i tried it on, it fit perfectly for my build. I seen other reviews that said the gi fit too big but that was what I was counting on. This gi is nice and light. I would definitely buy this gi again.
