What'd you get a telescope to take that picture?
From whom?
The drawstring isn't really the typical drawstring; it's very thick. The inner core is actually a bunch of shoestrings, wrapped in a outer weave. I guess they were trying to making it extremely durable. So I guess they did put some research into the design of it, but there was a bad batch that came apart from the outer weave.Wow, they are taking a drawstring so seriously... What is it, like a $3 piece of rope? And they are giving away pants, shirts, as well as new drawstrings? Seems like a good way to make money, unless they are making 200% profit on the original sale of the Gi.
Yeah. this drawstring issue was brought up when the Wave was released.
After my initial wash, my drawstring literally exploded in 3 spots, plus I had several "stains" on my pants, which looked to be "bleed" spots. Both of these issues actually happened to quite a few people.
Contacted Matt at Scramble and he's doing good on replacing the drawstring and pants. Took about 2 months, but per my last email with him, he said he'll be sending out my replacements soon. I'm in the US, so it'll probably take some time.
In the meantime, I just replaced the drawstring with an extra rope drawstring that I had.
I don't think it is the drawstring as such more the image of the brand, after slight issues with the pants they changed the material used.
For me it wasn't so much the drawstring being damaged more that I had paid
From everywhere I've seen (of other peoples' and myself) the stain spots are pretty purple. That can mean it's actually the navy blue dye from drawstring or drawstring loops "bleeding". But, there have been no other "bleeding" issues on the gi from anywhere else, so that may not be it. Matt @ Scramble acknowledged it, but didn't say what it could have been.What caused the little spots on the pants?
It will bring it to their attention and they might send a better replacement.
Top notch customer service as always.

Other than the cut being weird for some people, I don't think there were any quality issues with the 1chiban.
And I think the delays were really worth it. Under the hail of high quality, they've actually had few quality issues compared to what I've seen with other companies.
But maybe that's just me.
Are you implying that you feel that Matt delivering a gi to you is the same as a student turning in a term paper to their professor?
I'll shake a stick at the hornet's nest with this, haha.
Who can tell me that if this happened with SYR, there wouldn't have been major blowback?
