Rejoice, Panda Nation! Brand new BAMBOO Jiu Jitsu Gi from Inverted Gear.$119
I bought an earlier bamboo blend from inverted gear. Here's how my A1S shrank after hot wash and hot drying. Wingspan went from 68" to 64". Skirt width went from 23" to 22". Shoulder to skirt went from 30-28". Pant length went from 38" to 36". Inseam went from 29-27.5. Leg opening started at 8", don't know how much smaller it got. Hope this helps.
Also, damn, I want this. Looks nice.
Was it still usable after all the shrinkage was said and done? I have at least 10 different Inverted Gear gis and all have served me extremely well. I always get an A2s and even after shrinkage, they still fit me great. I'm 6'2" @ 190lbs. That said, none of my gis are bamboo... Do you own any of the other Inverted gis? If so, how would you compare shrinkage to those?
@tonecapone I have two other inverted gear gis. A pearl weave from one of the first batches and a more recent gold. This has longer arms then the rest of them. Definitely more pliable than the pearl. Similar feel to the gold, but softer and maybe thicker. I'm 5'9" 150, but my wingspan is close to 6'. It fits almost like a bathrobe cause it's softer, but it's held up fine. I wash all of my gis hot and dry hot
If this wasnt white I would have been tempted.
Do you guys do tracking #s????
Ooooh, New panda.
