are the pants of the rio koi the same as the ring?
I'm thinking those were people who ordered the RK and were iffy about the art, then saw the Brasileiro and cancelled.
I didn't know that happened in the past as well. I'll have to keep an eye out in the future. How did you guys find out? Just happen to be looking and saw some in stock?
Yea I just checked out the Americana and ComPadre links and scrolled down and saw they had some in stock at the time. It never hurts to email/FB/check their site the week after the gis drop to see if they have any extras or cancellations.
Material? No.
The ring is a poly blend which I might add, are the most comfortable kimono pants I've ever owned.
The rio koi is made of a drill cotton.
They recently put up a couple americana's? Or this was a while ago?
Are you using one of those tiny washing machines that are found in dorms with powder detergent?
It probably not getting rinsed properly.
Have you tried to run it through the washing machine a couple times with no soap?
Just some thoughts on it. You can really see how the a2 fits me consider i wear an a3 in every single other brand.
Tried to embed the video. No luck.

Mine finally arrived today!
I'm 5'11" 170 pounds and I got an A2, it fits pretty big on me. The pants good but the top is big. Going to try and shrink it down a little bit, should fit perfectly once its max shrunk.
Once it stop shrinking is it safe to keep drying it in the dryer? Or should I switch to hang dry?

I just took it out of the hot wash, shrunk quite a bit already, maybe an inch. Stuck it in the dryer, should fit perfect. Might need 1 more run on hot wash and dry.
Anyone know what the measurement is for allowed distance from sleeve cuff to wrist?
and god dam The Ring pants are soft. I wish the gi top would stay as soft as it was when it first came too.
After you hang dry, throw it in the drier on "Air Dry" setting (no heat) and it will be a lot more softer then just hang drying and storing it away.
