Hey Everybody,
i just found this topic online tonight or else i would have replied right away!!!
First off thank you so much for many of the kind words and feedback. I'm sorry if anybody send email via shoyoroll.com and didnt get response. Our online store is being revamped as we speak.
From the sounds of it most of the post here are the same things I was looking for when I was putting together the design in a gi.
These were the favorite things from past kimono makers helped inspire us.
Koral- Weave and Foam Lapel
KF - Pant Gold Weave Knee Pads
Old Machado Gi - Overall Fit of Top and Simple Look
Ouano - Lightweight Pants
Lucky Gi - Stitching
Some of the things that also inspired us but we could not add into design yet due to flaws in materials:
Old HCK - Thick Collar (Added Weight to top)
Lucky Gi - Print inside kimono for extra detail (After a few washes paint starts to crack and rubs against your back)
KF Fighter - Gold Weave (Fabric weighs more then Pearl Weave material)
Once we can get production to perfect a few of the other things like prints and lightweight think lapels our gi will get closer to where we want it.
The gi you all see is the BATCH#3 of SYR Kimonos. We have a full white comp model coming out in about 1 month BATCH#4. Once again we are bringing in around 150 total landing in about 1 month.
If you guys have any issues or concerns feel free to contact me direct. Once again guys we hope to continue to provide a high level of service and a quality fitted kimono for you all in the near future.
Thank You,
Vince Quitugua
