I swam in mine out of the bag and was worried about. After 3 hot washes, it fits nicely.

Any chance of the BLACK Inverted Panda Coming to BJJHQ?

Blue Inverted would be great as well...

All the reviews I've been reading say to go one size down. sound right ?

5'7 134lbs, Should I go with an A0? Got the Tatami Estilo 3.0 in A1 and it fits perfect.

I'm 5'9", 215 and I have A3. the top is near perfect and the pants are long. I have it in white and went a size down from my Tatami Estilo. I have had minimal shrinking after TRYING to get it to shrink the first couple of weeks using it. If i weren't a white belt, i'd get this one in black too. Maybe in a few months... we'll see.

NOTE: the tag inside the neck does annoy a little but that's my only gripe.

Reggie, I read that you have the tatami estilo in a4. The height and weight you listed is the same as mine. I am thinking of buying that one, how is the fit? I carry a lot of weight in my shoulders and chest. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

you're making me very poor!

James, i've had my Tatami for about a year. It was my first Gi, i put that sucker through the ringer and it's held up great! It seems to have shrunk about a half inch overall, especially in the sleeve and overall length but again, that's over the last year of hot washes getting the stank out after every class (i dont like being the smelly kid in class). I dont think it would pass IBJJF requirements for sleeve length at the moment, but that isn't a concern at the moment. I haven't noticed any stitching coming undone nor EXTREME fading of the colors. I really like the feel of the pants, but i dont believe they are made from anything special like double weave unicorn thread as other Gi's claim. Overall i like my Estilo, bought it from this site and got it for a great price.
