Padilla & Sons Kimono Review – After some use

June 29, 2010 jimbo 4 comments

So here’s an update on the my Padilla & Sons Light Weight Gi.

It kicks ass. With summer in full swing and training in a 2nd floor gym with no A/C I am very thankful for this Gi. It wasn’t until now that I realized how nice this thing is.

That’s me on the bottom. Just a great, light weight Gi. I’ve had it since March 2010 and no tears or frayed edges. Gets washed after every class.

What can you tell me about shrinkage, sizing, and how you’ve been washing/drying it? Thanks!

Hey Georgette,

As far as I can tell there has been no shrinkage in the Gi. I wash it only in cold water, full cycle. I only hang dry it.

Since March of 2010 (when I purchased it) I’ve lost about 10 lbs of gut, but I haven’t noticed much of a difference in fit around my mid section with the Gi top or bottom. The only Gi I have to compare it with is my Koral MKM Competition size A3. The Padilla is an A4 and is exactly the same size. I’m 6’1″ and weigh 200 lbs with a 35 inch waist.
