belt tier imo if you're willing to invest in a good belt - Kataaro > Eosin Panther > Isami > KuSakura. You honestly can't go wrong with any of these brands.

Never bought a specific belt and all the random ones I was given (all various generic brands) held up totally fine over years of high use and frequent washing. That said, at purple belt I wish I’d been given an Isami, because their purple colour really rocks hard.

Love my stiff Isami. Fades real nicely too. Probably going to get one for my brown belt.

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.
