I have had several Kimonos and each one seems to get better. The
single ATAMA, Gold Weave ATAMA, single Koral, & Gracie Barra single
Machado Kimono. That is the order that I have purchased and is also
the order that I like the best. Out of the four, the Koral was the
highest priced, then the gold weave ATAMA, then the GB Machado and
then the single ATAMA.
Howard- I have one of your white judo doubleweave gi's. I like the thickness of it and was wondering if it's comparable to the bjj comp. single or the double weave?
"Howards are too expensive. You can get just as good a gi for much cheaper."
I don't think there is a better deal out there right now than the $49 unbleached HCK standard single. Both Howard Liu and Sam at JiuJitsuGear.com have given me good customer service.
Jacketwrestler - the Judo double you have is the same cloth as the BJJ Competition Double. The Competition Single and Judo Single are made of cloth with a 20 oz. weight in thickness. The Competition Double and Judo Double are made of cloth with a 26 oz. weight in thickness. My thickest gi is the Absolute, which is 30 oz. weight in thickness.
BubbaRayGracie - thanks for the kind words and you satisfaction with HCK.

Usurper:
You are correct about the gameness gi from Brazil, they are poorly constructed. That is why they were fired. No True Gameness products are made in Brazil. If you have any questions about our Gis please go to www.grapplergear.com or www.gameness.net and we will be happy to help you.
Thanks
Tim
