Gold BJJCalavera Jiu Jitsu Gi - Ultra Strong Gold Weave Premium Kimono - IBJJF Competition Approved Uniform

I am a lean 218lbs at 5'11" with a big back, chest and shoulders so fitment can be an issue when ordering a Gi online. After an initial wash and dry I found the A4 to have ample room in the shoulders. The Gold Gi top is probably the softest one I've felt, especially strait out of the bag. I was able to roll in it comfortably with no rash gaurd which is a big plus in Arizona. I also like the understated "G" emblems, makes it easier for custom patches and looks cleaner. Usually I am swimming in A4 pants however these have enough leg room for good movement but not in eccess to grab and leg drag. I am fairly flexible and feel able to move freely in these pants. The draw string waistline is nice as well, plenty of loops in the waistband to keep the string in place. For the value, fit, quality and comfort the Gold Gi is sitting on top of the list for my next purchase.

I’ve had the gi a couple weeks and used it a few times but so far I’m really impressed. I really like the ripstop pants and the gold accents against the blue. The pant ties are really long which is nice but can also be a problem if you don’t tuck them away. I bought the A2H size since I’m 5’9” and about 215#. The gi fits great. It has minimal shrinking thus far but I only dried it once on medium heat. The rest of the time has been hang dry. I have noticed on every wash that I get a little shedding from somewhere. It’s short white strings. Maybe from the embroidery on the jacket and pants. If it proves to be a good gi long term, I’ll definitely buy more. The value seems to be excellent!

I am very impressed with the new Gi from Gold BJJ. I am 5 foot 11 195 lb and built like a typical weightlifter. I am wearing a size A3 and really like the way it fits. Out of the box the sleeves were a little long but after a wash on warm setting I think they shrunk just the right amount.My previous gi in the size A3 was a little snug across the back and in the shoulders. This one has a wider back and a little extra fabric in front of the shoulder area. There is no binding and very little rise when I raise my arms over my head. An ideal fit for the guy that lifts.At 450 GSM this is a nice sturdy gi and the gold weave is comfortable against the skin. The rash guard material around the neck is also very comfy.I like the non flashy look and the gold G logo is very subtle. The gold piping on some edges looks nice.The pants are a nice lightweight ripstop nylon. It has a nice roomy crotch made out of the gold weave fabric as well as reinforcing at the knees. I can raise my knees up high without binding at the crotch.I will try to get some more pictures while rolling.I know I'm not huge but my previous gi was tight across the back. This one is just right.

I am 5'9" 202lbs in these pics. I wear a 36" waist pant. I bought the A2H based on the sizing chart. The pics with the belt on are of the gi right out of the box. The pics without the gi are right out of the washer/drier. As you can see, the gi was a little long but shrunk nicely after the wash. I will wash and dry the pants again to try to shrink them a little more before I hem them. You can also see that the waist size of the pants are really big. If you carry weight in your chest and shoulders more than your gut, you might want to consider the regular A2 gi. The jacket is pretty roomie as well. If I order another one of these, it will be an A2.

I was looking for a new white GI for events and photos, but did not want to blow a lot of money on one I may not wear often. I loved the looks and the colorful design inside, so went with this. The material is wonderful. Not exactly lightweight as much as others, but still light for the durability it seems to have so far. I also love that it is a very bright white, so far easy to keep clean. So as a result I am wearing it much more often to roll than planned. I also bought it a size large, hoping to shrink it down to fit (I like to wash and dry mine) but it so far has resisted any significant shrinking. The weave is very soft but holds up well. Overall these are great gi's - do not hesitate to buy one for daily gear.

Info: Male, 5'8", 140 lbs, A2 (shrunk), Black GiOverall: This Gi is legit and a great deal. Looks sharp and fits well. Everything about it is as expected.Me: I train about 4 time a week and needed a new gi. I am about 5 foot 8 140lbs with a semi stocky building. For comparison I have an A1 (Tatami) and an A1.L (93 Brand) that fit a bit tight and a shrunken A2 (Loyal) that fits a little loose. I can wear any of them and be happy but I prefer the size of the Loyal.Sizing: Since I prefer a little more room to move and I already knew I'd occasionally need to throw it in the dryer, I chose to purchase an A2. After a warm wash and 30+ minutes in the dryer (and checking often) it shrunk down just right. It's exactly as expected and fits the same as my A2 Loyal gi.Fit: Sleeves are just long and loose enough to get some good Ezekiel Chokes. Shoulders and chest have enough room to feel very mobile. Length is just right for using lapels to choke/hold. Pants are a little baggy, and could be shrunk more, but I don't mind and is definitely a function of me ordering up a size. Seeing how true to size the A2 was I wouldn't hesitate ordering an A1 for myself or someone of similar size without shrinking.Quality: Material is legit and the black/yellow stitching looks good. I've rolled in them a few times now without a problem. Reinforced stiches are in the right spots and fabric feels strong and sturdy. Not super heavy overall, most of the weight is in the fabric for the collar. It doesn't come with a gi bag, but I have others so no big deal.

I was very impressed by the look and fell of the GI, and really liked the unique liner. It was actually more comfortable than my much more expensive SYR. The only thing better than the GI was the customer service. I could not ask for more from a small company. I was so impressed that I have purchased a few Rash Guards from Gold BJJ. Expect that they will have the same quality and exceptional value as the GI.
