Atama Gold Weave. Not really a "name" for that Gi back then. It was just an Atama Gi Gold Weave I think. Less marketing back then. But that's an awesome one. It's one of the OG Gi than are damn near indestructible.

Favorite gi is the Isami double weave, I have like 4-5 of them. Runner up would be the older Koral MKM. I also like my older Shoyorolls, Atama Mundial 5 and 9, and datsusara hemp gis.

I've had gis from Datsusara, Moya, Hayabusa, Fuji, Origin, Atama. Favorite is Datsusara's hemp gi. Looks great, feels great, fit great, durable. Followed by Atama Mundial 10
