Edited for content....
I have a wholesale account with them and a few years ago I asked about the continuing price rise. I was told it had everything to do with the fall of the dollar compared to the Brazilian Real.
My first Atama was a blue single weave that I got for $70 delivered. :)
Where do you guys buy your Gis now?
its too damn expensive now, atama has always been my favorite, but even with this sale....
My god! In a couple years time you'll have to be buddies with Warren Buffet to be able to do BJJ in a Gi. Might have to go NO-Gi or just train in my jeans.
Jeebus. My first bjj gi was an atama single white got it for 70 bucks. Prices have just gotten crazy.
Just wait for the Black Friday/December sale from KillerBeeGi.com....
Tell me more about this KillerBeeGi.com sale please...I had posted another site on here that was having a black friday sale, but was worried about advertising for a company and didnt want to get frozen 
do not buy anything before thanksgiving.
period.
Sugarfoot - Tell me more about this KillerBeeGi.com sale please...I had posted another site on here that was having a black friday sale, but was worried about advertising for a company and didnt want to get frozen
Like killerbeegi.com on FB....and you will get advance notice of this sale.
BJJHQ has a gi deal every week it seems so you can check them out as well
With so many gi companies....pick one in your price range with the best combo for fit and durability etc.
i will never pay over 100 bones for a gi again (adjusted for inflation)
wore 2 for 10yrs, gi's always there within 2 days and best out there IMO or you can wear gi's that look like you're at a fashion show
are tools coming on this thread and advertising other brands and websites? Grab a clue
I started the thread and also asked where people were buying their Gi's now. Seems ok to post a response to a simple question. No reason to call people tools for letting everyone know about a sale.
LOL @ those prices.
No thanks
atama gi's and prices used to be one of the best years ago.....now it's a joke.
When atama raised their prices so drastically I vowed to never buy from them again. They can blame the price increase to market forces until their business fails as far as I care. I currently have bought fuji for the past 5 years or so and they work great, especially for about $80 shipped. Atama is a definite waste of money at their current profit margin.
lol @ market forces.
The problem is now Atama has significant competition for the first time in maybe ever...
When supply increases, the prices usually drop. Perhaps they had a material cost increase but if that were the case (A) Everyone would be raising their prices accordingly - Atama would probably raise theirs less so sine they would presumably have more purchasing power than other brands and (B) No way a material cost would lead to that type of price hike.
What is really happening is that the people who own/manage the company are used to living high on the hog. Now, instead of adapting to the marketplace, they are clinging on to their lifestyles and in the process have raised prices to try and recapture their old bottom line.
