thank you soo much kyofighter, you have answered a question that i have been wondering about for a while now. and you answered it without me asking. i was wondering if the k790 was a good gi or not, but after seeing your picture and reading what you have to say about it, i have decided to buy one. thank you good sir.

Hmm, sounds like something I could look into. I was initially thinking about a 50-50 cotton-poly blend with an elasticized waistband -- hardly anyone's idea of comfort, right?

Thanks for the tip!

harukaze,

Elasticized waistband is kind of uncomfortable, like a block of something on you waist while doing high kick and banding forward.
Those we have are pull string pants and 97% cotton & 3% lycra make it feel cool and light. The gi top are 12oz cotton canvas, strong & durable.
It is also easy to maintain, blood stain will wash off just by soaking it over night with washing power and alittle brushing.
I can alway help you to get 1 set, if you're interested.

Hi Kelvin,

Thanks for the offer! I have a cheapo 8 oz. karategi that I'm using for now; once it melts or I get sick of it, I'll shoot you a PM! You said your karategi are locally made in Singapore for you?

Thanks!

harukaze,

Yes, our karate gi is locally made in singapore. It come in most sizes and no extra change for Embroidery of the Kyokushin kanji.
