Half sumo are sick but I’ve heard mixed reviews about their quality. I’d look a bit more into it if you were thinking of buying them. I do think their designs are incredible but the shipping to Europe has never made it seem worth it for me so I can’t comment on their quality myself

Here is a readout of my gis: Kitsune: great cuts, quite durable. My go-to gi at this point. Can snag them for sub $100 on BJJHQ.com. I have 2 of them in rotation Half Sumo: Great looking, mostly durable, but kind of underwhelming for the $200 price tag. Sanabul: I don't really wear mine anymore, but damn you can't go wrong at the price. They are really good. Supernatural Survival: I don't have it yet... but it's on the way... it's a meme gi, for sure, but damn I can't wait to walk into my gym wearing it...
