    Hi, I primarily take Aikido, but the dojo I belong to is VERY Judo orientated. To make a long story short I used to wrestle in high school and usually end up doing some mat work with the lower ranking Judo players after my Aikido class is over. I'm looking to purchase a nice looking, bleached, single weave Judo GI for Christmas and was wondering what you guys would recommend. Thanks for any input.

    Oh, I saw a Mizuno GI that looked nice. :D

    No offence but century sucks, they can't even make a gi correctly.

    You want the best try Shureido, but they are extrememly expensive $$$$$$$$ I'm getting a nice heavy weight one but its 144 $ bucks plus tax :p

    Hope you find a company you like.

    i love the look of those addidas gi's with the strips down the shoulder however they're ******* expensive.

    i have a single weave blitz gi which has served me well for only £20, also a reversable blue and white heavy 'playwell' gi which only cost me £40. playwell have lots of good stuff on their website.

    Mizuno.

    I thought they stopped making Gi, but if they still do get Mizuno. If oyu can afford it try and get a made to measure one. :

    What do you all think about PINE TREE?
    I've been using one for about 2 years now and it's still good.

    Slightly off the topic..............but.............

    What do you think about those expensive, heavyweight gis that you can't even get a grip on without shreading your fingertips? Is it really in the spirit of things? I know in Judo we're talking about a competitive sport but does this mean that those that want and can afford these gis (that are so rigid that they can stand up on their own!) have an unfair advantage?
