I checked out the GrapplerGear.com site and looked at pictures of their supposed new "platinum" weave gis. I looked at other sites that carried the Gameness "gold" weave gis, and they seem to use the same pics. As far as I can tell, the red gi's are definitely platinum weaves, since they are new. So my first question is: How do you tell a white/blue gold weave gi from a white/blue platinum weave gi, since it seems they have the same patches/design? For all I know, I could pay for the platinum weave and get the gold weave instead. Is it possible to get close up pics of both weaves or a definitive way of determining which weave is what?
Second, besides the stiffer collar and different weave pattern, what other differences are there between the two weaves?
