It's been a while since I bought my Atama. A new one is on the way (gameness from ron). But too many poeple ask about atama these days so I thought I'd make a little review.
Here is a picture of the gi:
Quality:
Jacket:The quality is pretty good, the matrial seems to be a thick cotton and the lapel is pretty hard to get a good grip on. The matrial must be coated with something because at one point I couldnt wash my gi for about 9 classes and it didn't stink AT ALL! The flags are always in differant positions, either sides, facing whatever side. The American flag is starting to get a little tear in the material but it dont think its anyting mojor. This gi has very few patches. It is fairly comfortable to be in, but it is pretty baggy, if you are looking for a tight fit gi this isnt for you. After a few weeks of training loose threads started to come out but it doesnt seem to matter because I cut them off with no effect to the rest of the material.
Pants: The pants are decent, nothing special. There is double padding starting around the mid leg area to prevent tears and also to stop your balls from sweating I like that little feature. The strings arent that good, I tried to put the pants on once and couldnt because the strings somehow got stuck, dont know how I managed that. The pants are also very baggy but not too long. I am 5'10 and the gi fits me perfectly. It shrunk about 2 inches, no dryer cold water wash always.
Overall: I'd give it a 6 out of 10. The quality is good, but not good enough. I hope my gameness will be better, I will review it as soon as I recover from my injury. This applies to the flagless model as well.
ThanX
