Gi Material for self tailoring?

[blackbeat]

The headline tells it already,
I'm looking for the sheet material for self tailoring a gi. Btw. thinking about tailoring a hoodie with same material like koral, hayabusa and tatami did before.
Only for me, not for selling.
Maybe a friend of mine let it tailoring in bankok, so asia shop would be o.k. too.
I like the hoodie made by koral in there classic gi style...

WOW,

Good idea man, I am surprised I have never thought of this before.

Every time I think about getting a gi I look at the price... And every time its enough to frighten me away.

Yes! some gi's could be gold woven if you think about the price.
The pattern shouldn't be the biggest party. Because you can use your old gi as a pattern. And a cotton or softshell based hoodie as a hoodie pattern.
If you can handle a sewing machine, or your wife can...

I've only found gi cloth for import, inlarge volumes.

Also, best of luck with your needles on a consumer level sewing machine with that shit.

heavy duty sewing machine, and a visit to Pakistan to look for some textiles.
