This new offering from UK brand Tatami Fightwear is relatively plain, comfortable to wear and a good fit if you're slender with long arms (or at least longer than mine, as per the picture: I'm 5'7 and about 64kg/143lbs, wearing an A2). There is contrast stitching, along with white side vents, belt loops and drawstring.

Nice review. I have the Estilo and looking at your picture of you wearing it the fit is almost identical to me wearing mine. I'm 5'8" and found the trousers fine after washing them but find the sleeves a bit too long for my liking. I did wash mine twice at 60c and found it didn't impact on the collar but still left the sleeves a bit too long.

Would be my perfect gi I reckon if the sleeves were a tad shorter.
 
I'd love to see this next to the SYR Americana. I personally have monkey arms, I think an A3 Estilo classic might fit me perfectly.
 
I have a navy estilo and at 5'8" and 160 the a1 is perfect. I'm surprised the a2 fits you. I have a blue a2 that I'm trying to sell.

Seems fine except for the sleeves. Although I am used to baggy gis, like the Datsusara, or various judogi.

Whats the sleeve to sleeve on the A2. I looked at their size chart online, they said the A3 is 67". I know 65" is about right for me, so I figured the A3 would be perfect.
 
I thought that the Estilo Classic was suppose to be in Navy, like the 2.0?
 
Apparently not: the one I got for review was definitely not navy, as you can see from the pics. Judging by their website, the Estilo Classic comes in either white or royal blue (I think that's the specific colour?)
 
This is such a great gi! The a4 fits me perfectly. Its good that its preshrunk. ive washed it at 40 degrees and had no shrinkage.


I wonder if they will make more versions of this patchless gi? Perhaps with the pin-up rashguard interior inside of it, or perhaps grey color scheme (training gi) or just offer rainbow colored variant? (like a universal pimp)?

Thanks bros. It's a beautiful gi, was hoping for a patchless navy.

I'm sure its something a seam-ripper can handle. I also like my Gis patchless and i'm eyeing the Navy one as well so i'll definitely do this.

Wouldn't that go against the whole point of the "Classic"? I believe even a black version would be unnecessary. Navy might work if the IBJJF decide that it is legal (which I think they won't).
 
I like this gi, waiting to see if I can order the shoyouroll. if not its this gi or the single weave atama. The tatami vs. atama any opinions?
 
Tatami will give you the best bang for the buck compared to the Atama imo.

Good point. I just love the way this gi looks. so clean with nothing but the "e" logo inside. It's a very sharp looking gi. A black version would be cool cool.

Do you mind if ask your height/weight? I'm 6'2/215, with long arms. I'm thinking of an A4 and shrinking it down.

The best fitting gi I've had is a Koral A3, which seriously does NOT shrink... everything else is too short in the sleeves.
