    http://www.mantousa.com/products/MAN...-GI-Black.html <---- $99.00 and I've had this one for the past few years. It's one of 3 Manto Gi's I own. Great Gi's.

    thanks for the tips! Im leaning towards gold weaves. does it really make collar chokes more difficult for your opponent? (looking for any help in this aspect as im new to gi). If so I was going for a padilla and sons gold weave but it looks like they re out of stock. any other gold weave recommendations?

    dude, you obviously know pete roberts. origin is definitely one of the nicer looking gi's but there's nothing special about it. a lot of the better gi's are all practically the same. (550gsm pearl weave, ripstop pants w/ draw string)

    to the OP, weaves have nothing to do with the collar. if you want a thick collar, get a gameness platinum. those things are borderline cheating. also, kauai kimonos are damn near impossible to grab because of the material and it's so thin but I don't think it's competition legal.

    If you're looking for a gi with a heavy collar, HCK is hands down the hardest to grab. I've owned basically all weaves except chain and crystal, single/double are my favorites. I HATE pearl, and ripstop.

    Whats your height and weight? I would buy the gi closest to your fit, the cut is the main difference between all of them.
