    Hi guys,

    Can anyone recommend a good place to buy high quality Judo Gi's? I've torn a hole in the knee of my current Gi and figure now is as good a time as any to buy a new one. I'm in Cork myself but I'd be happy to buy online.

    I don't know anywhere down in Cork, but you could ring Alan Martin @ 0862703220 and talk to him.

    I've a few suits, and head and shoulders above anything I've worn is the Fight Films BLACK LABEL - even better than their more expensive Gold Label.

    Its got a brushed cotton inside with sealed seams, and has not shrank.

    I was recommended a Mizuno Shia - shrank like hell and was unwearable after only two washes.

    Another really nice gi is a Norris, nice fitting and doesn't shrink but IMO its a little soft and doesn't last too last before the pants and jack start to rip.

    Cheers for that, I didn't have his number myself but that would probably be the best way to get my hands on a new gi.

    the black label is nice, I think thats what I have at the moment and its lasted ages. I've not heard of Norris though, I might have a look into it.

    thanks!

    The Norris is really nice, and you'll see alot of people wear them. Their a lovely fit, but I've had two and both pants tore and the collars fraided (is that the spelling?) pretty badly.

    the Black Label is nice, Alan also does some nice DanRho Gi, they might be a little cheaper.

    He does the DanRho Ultimate at for the same price (give or take) as the FF Black Label. I got one recently enough, it's the bee's-knees.

    Cool, I've never owned one. But I've always like that they appear to maintain that stiff & hard to grip competition feel - but a whore on the fingers in training :mad:

    Jayzus you'd want to see the one I got before it - a Blitz Olympian. It's like a set of plate armour covered in sandpaper.

    My FF Black Label is like that. I think the trick is NO fabric softener and AIR DRY, then iron.
