I bought this gi on March 21 2018 and I was very excited when I got it. The design is neat and not over-embellished. Also, the fit was perfect and it maintained its whiteness pretty well. However, the blue trim faded considerably after the fifth wash. The worst part was that the top ripped open on the back and under the armpit. I'm very disappointed that my gi only lasted barely 9 months, since I've had other similar ones and they've lasted at least 3 years.
