Padilla and Sons Kimono

In mid-July of 2011, I bought my second gi - a Padilla and Sons, White Gold Weave. It was huge but has shrunk nicely and fits pretty well.

I like that:
1. It's durable.
2. Plain, only a few small patches.
3. Haven't seen another person wearing it.

It's not super soft or pajama comfortable, like I've read some gis are, but I'm okay with that.

I've now worn it three months straight. This is my main and only gi. The starter HCK is now a little too snug. I'm planning on getting another maybe around Christmas or in the New Year to rotate in with the P&S. Maybe a blue one, but I'm torn: I like the old school, traditional white and the reminder of being a beginner, but the blue would hide the blood stains better.
