The Panda Nation spoke.$130
first question for those who already have this gi how does it compare to competition fit gis with narrower sleeves etc.? and 2nd question im a lean 5'11 165 and i got a1T think itll fit nicely ?
Personally would've gone with A2-Tall. Your weight is outside of the A1T range and your height is the highest recommended for A1T, so after a wash it might be too small. A2T you could wash without worry. I'm 6'2" 174 lbs and the A2T is pretty perfect after a cold wash and hang dry (I prefer a tailored sort of fit). So if you washed warm it'd be perfecto, IMO.
i hate baggy gis tho thats why i went with a1T im also carrying an extra 5-10 pounds i plan on getting rid of, ide sooner the sleeves be a little short than the whole thing be baggy
No more A3s arrrrrgh!
Argh no A0... I don't even know what shrinkage to expect with bamboo.
I'm 5'6" 190 lbs. what gi would fit best?
A2 if pants too long u can always shrink it
I bought the CS gi when it first came out and I had the dye incident happen to me. I emailed IG and they sent me a new replacement gi for the trouble.
I've read that there have been a small percentage of cases where the purple has bled onto the gi after the first wash. Any suggestions to prevent that possibility from happening?
Updated care instructions will be included in the orders, they are: To prevent any color bleed, wash the gi in coldwater, by itself, and add two cups of distilled vinegar with a mild detergent.
between 5'8 and 5'9 and around 155. A1 should be good for me yes? didn't know what tall//slim really means
check out the size chart last people for taller and skinnier people
Apparently my post didn't go through before. I'm 5'8.5" 140 lbs and I got an A1 tall/slim and it fits well. Shrunk exactly to my size. I don't know how the different material will shrink, but my guess would be that A1 might be too small for you.
oh no, i purchased A1 without having seen your post. i just emailed them asking for a size change to the tall/slim. i hope they will be able to change it for me. And, Jay's post is a bit concerning as well. Is there a way from preventing the bleeding?
I'm 5'8" 155lbs 11% body fat and the blue panda gi A1TS fits me well. I had to shrink the jacket but the pants are right on. I like the slim fit though. Plus I have long arms. If your arms are short you might have to shrink it more. Best fitting gi I ever bought! .
luv the panda, but is there a size chart please
As far as size charts are concerned, I'd click on the image showing the SIZE CHART.
size chart is in the last picture
So you're saying that I can find the size chart in the size chart picture showing sizes? Thanks.
I read a bit about bamboo and saw some concerns expressed that a lot of "Bamboo fabrics" on the market are really rayon that started as bamboo. Does anyone have any information about the bamboo that went into producing this gi, how it was sourced, whether it's natural bamboo or has been turned into rayon?
If the labels on the back, lapel and pants are removed before I wash, am I left with purple stains in those areas?
the stitching is all purple and belt loops and belt. but an admin just told some one here " Updated care instructions will be included in the orders, they are: To prevent any color bleed, wash the gi in coldwater, by itself, and add two cups of distilled vinegar with a mild detergent."
