I use this uniform as a typical standard. It looks sharp, it typically fits any student at their current size with minimal customization on length. It works great in the dojo and handles wear and tear very well. I do have to add a word of caution here. Do not try to lump gi uniforms into the laundry with other types of clothes. It may damage the other clothes. Or the jacket may tangle up and ride one part of the dryer and get burn/singe marks on it from the friction. (this negative is no reflect of the quality of the gi!) The $$$ is great also.
