Good advice! I’ve started surfing eBay for deals.

So… the Lucky is worth the money, but why not just haunt Ebay? Got mine, worn barely, for $67 there.

I will say I bought a pair of Krugans pants on ebay for $.99 (ripped knee) to play with tiedyeing… then discovered I loved the fit and feel so much, I didn’t want to risk ruining them, so I’ve patched the knee and they’re my favorites. If you are a little fluffy like me, those Krugans are a nice fit! (Whereas the Lucky and the Gameness pants are a little slimmer cut…)

My first gi was the ProForce Judo gi. If I ever get a dummy, he will inherit that one. I have an Atama and Gameness and am happy with both of them. I also bought a gi when I was in Brazil and it’s my favorite (http://www.dogsstyle.com/) it ended up being about $140 after currency conversion. It’s great because it’s 1) pre-shrunk 2) has a back made from a single piece of material (won’t rip along the skirt or have the seam dig into your back when some fat guy is crushing you 3) the outside feels like sandpaper (when I cross-face someone I can really put some stank on it!).

I am jealous of the Lucky Gi, but I can’t justify $250 on one gi (at least not until my jits gets WAY better). If you want to check out the other gis before ordering it, just ask someone in your gym who has one if you can try it on. I’m a little doughy in the midsection and I swear some of these gis are designed for Manorexics, so it’s good to try one on before ordering it.

I think Lucky looks the coolest. I couldn’t comment on quality, as you have seen the beater of a gi I wear.
