The bad bit...
Ok earlier I mentioned the craftsmanship or construction of the gi, this is something I’m pretty disappointed in. After seeing gis from brands which you could inspect with a magnifying glass I expected something similar if not better from shoyoroll, however this was not to be. The problem is limited to the jacket and more specifically the stitching which is best described as uneven and messy with many loose threads. It looks rushed which is surprising considering it took 5 months to get here. Rather than looking like a high end “fine cut kimono” it almost looks like a cheaply made gi with nice patches, if the stitching was not in contrast to the rest it would not be a problem but the fact it stands out so boldly means it is. I have inspected several other gi and not noticed the likes of this before. Although I’m sure this is mainly cosmetic it is still disappointing, i will probably drop Vince a line and see what they think about the stitching as maybe it’s just me.
