Hey guys I just wanted to share my experience with two different gi's that I own. A Fuji Victory Single Weave A2 and a Fushida Komodo A1X. Both have only been washed on cold setting and hung dried numerous times.
I am 5'11" 143 lbs so I made it my objective to find a gi that would fit me correctly. Since I am tall and skinny I am in between sizes for a lot of gi's out there. I wanted a slim fitting gi with the proper length for the sleeves and pants. So far I couldn't have been any happier with these two purchases.
The Fuji gi is an excellent gi for the price that I paid. It is well made and reinforced in all of the right places. I must say out of my three gi's (third being a school no brand gi) the Fuji is the most comfortable out of them all. It's the softest and what's cool about the Fuji is the cuff is really narrow but then as you work your way up the sleeve it gets wider. In my opinion it feels better when I am moving my arms since there's more room. I think for training this gi serves it's purpose. The gi fits pretty well for my body type. The only fault being that the sleeves fall a little short to my liking, which I don't really mind all that much.
After a couple months I ordered the Fushida Komodo since I had heard such good things about this company. They were the only company at the time that I knew of who offered in between sizes. To be honest the whole measuring aspect really put me off for a long time as a result of my laziness. I'm glad I did it because once Christo responded back I knew I had to have one of their gi's. He told me exactly how it would fit and he was right on the money. Once the gi arrived I was amazed how beautiful it looked in person. It was bright white and the quality was obvious. Reinforced in all of the right places but even more generous with the layers of stitching. The gi felt like it could handle a beating and it does! The Komodo fit even better than my Fuji. It was tighter throughout the sleeves, waist, and back. The excess cloth under my armpit was eliminated and the length on both the gi sleeves and pants were longer, which made it perfect! The skirt for the Fushida is also a little bit longer than the Fuji. For a competition I would use this gi again. The pearl weave is thick and hard to grab and the collar is pretty good as well. Both the Fuji and Fushida have decent collars (relatively same size) but the Fushida's collar is harder to manipulate. I will definitely pick up another Fushida in the future. I feel like this gi was custom made for me.
Here are some pics. Enjoy!
