So here's the back, minus the Atama patch, before mine was sewn on.
This is almost how it looks now-- I kept the "Keep Austin Weird" patch (my design! if you want one let me know!) but the Happy Kimonos one went on the front.
The front:
The pants:
Seriously, these look even better-- sharper, brighter, crisper-- in person. I washed the gi twice with the special Synthrapol detergent used for freshly-dyed fabrics.. it keeps any extra dye that comes out in the wash from resettling on the fabric or muddying the colors. Downside is it smells funny so then I rewashed it with lavender detergent and now it's in the dryer with 3 dryer sheets. I am going to ROCK this gi in class tomorrow! I can't wait!
On other fronts... still no reply from Budovideos.com on the coverage issue.
P.S. Saturday afternoon-- I did indeed rock this gi today. I must admit it gave me no superpowers-- Zade, the new blue belt, still looping choked me. But I don't care-- it's especially appropo given this weekend is the Reggae Festival!

Has Relson seen this gi? :)
Exactly what I was thinking @ what Rob said... cuz I know Relson DESPISES colorful Gis... I Train at a Relson Academy (Gracie Arizona) I wouldn't advise wearing that when he comes through...just saying..haha
Yeah, well, I haven't trained at Relson's in years, now that gi is reserved for special events since I'm at Humaita (blue or white only.)
