Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on. I'm not ordering anything from this guy, yet. I only want a green gi. As silly as it may sound, it's the color that only attracted me to the brand. I've look into other brands (Red Nose, Koral, etc), but their green gis are either too dark or have camouflage patterns, which I find to be tasteless and inappropriate for a sport like Jiu-jitsu. I like the brilliant verdant luster of the Lutador's gi, though. It fits my environmentally-friendly personality well; it'll have people look at me and say, "Awe, he looks like a cute, harmless tree-hugger, and yet he does not hesitate to put people in a devastating choke-hold."
I tried to order that damned green gi on their website (lutadorfight.com), but it took an eternity to get to the shopping page because I'm not literate in the Japanese language. But then all my hopes were dashed when I deciphered their Engrish and found out that they're only sold in Japan. And then my spirit somewhat rose when reading this cryptic message which follows after that...take a look.
It is sales only in Japan now.
I pray for payment in paypal, and there is it if I want to purchase KIMONOS from your country.
Shipment becomes international postal EMS.
Can someone decipher the last sentence for me?
If you want it in black, the ebay seller has a black gi in my size (A3), but also take note that they're made in Korea. And only two colors are available, black and white.
I don't know what the difference is between Korean-made gis and Japanese-made gis. In comparison, they're probably similiar to Japanese/Korean made ESP or Ibanez guitars; the higher end, expensive guitars are made in Japan and lower end, cheapers ones are made in Korea.
