Kauai Kimonos Limited Edition Pre-sale (Coco Brown and Navy Blue)

For anyone who might be interested, Kauai Kimonos is currently having a pre-sale for some limited edition gis. They are offering their original design, the Coco Brown, and re-releasing a newer color that sold out quick last month, their Navy Blue gi.

Here's a link to both the pre-sales:

They said there are 100 gis available, so I think that's the first 100 orders only.

The brown is very pretty, but I won't spend more than $120 on a gi that light

"Navy Blue Balls Gi"... I have a feeling it's gonna be a big disappointment. ;)

They're very solid gis. The owner of Kauai let me try them both on when he visited the midwest over the summer.

Awesome gis.

From everything I've read they are nothing but quality, everything is constructed and stitched in the best manner, and they were ranked #3 in aesopian's rankings so people are happy with them. I do agree, however, that $165 is a little high for a 100% ripstop gi, but I've wanted one for a while so I picked up a navy.

My main concern is if I have any issues with it, they are notorious for being non-existent when trying to get in contact with them, be it by email or facebook.

that brown gi looks really nice, tempted to buy one to see if kauai kimonos are that good like everyone says.
