I like to use something for a while before leaving a review and I have been using this dogi for about 8 months now. If you are looking for a heavy weigh cotton dogi to cover you for winter training/kata, then this is it. The material is heavy with a great snap. It's a beautiful colour, it's well cut, the stitching is high quality and the sleeve and trouser alterations were exact (and free!). For this price, not sure how you will find anything as good for its intended purpose. If you are after a more general training or warmer climate dogi then I would obviously look at something lighter, but that is not a fault against this at all. It's also worth mentioning the service that Kuroobiya provides, on this and other orders it has been fantastic. They have made a customer for life.
