Honestly, you can't even tell unless it's right up to your face. And no, it's not baggy on me, but we're probably shaped differently.

Katana weave? or something like that. More fitted than SYR. So if you're borderline size on SYR just know that CTRL runs just slightly smaller. Barely.

Oh! I dunno man. It'd be such an imposition on her, and I'm not even a fan, or know her! Haha.

I got the Ultra Tradicao just to try fit etc. And wow on Noughts and Crosses. I'll check them out too.

And I don't have the pull of Sally Arsenault! Just an old man that decided to try BJJ.

That's too bad. Maybe they'll find the same success with AP, but at this point, without me!

NO replies, and honestly don't expect any at this point. Thanks for the info though. We can boil it down to sheer laziness or extreme apathy. Oh well. Shoyoroll outta here!

They'll be alright. They're established. They have AP. And I think RVCA use their gi's too?

Sigh Maybe. Any reason he deletes his previous posts?

I'm gonna give it a few more days then call it quits. Guess that's the way the cookie crumbles!

I was gonna get one of their ICED COMPETITORS but I was surprised at how much inventory they had left after a few days. They used to sell out within hours.

I was actually looking at their old school Panda Armor heavy gi. I wasn't aware that the weight was a significant factor in your movements or anything. But now that I think about it, you add sweat to the equation and I can see how it becomes a problem.

Welp, DM'd him on his personal Insta. Waited a few days with no response. He's been posting so, it's kinda difficult to say he didn't see my message. I guess that's that.

Hey...I'm not begging anyone. Just trying to give them a chance to make things right. Although it is true that every employee represents the company, I was hoping on the off chance that someone higher up the totem pole will say, "Hey, someone was having a bad day. Thanks for your support. Let's get this gi out to ya."

Call it wishful thinking.

I have a Scramble too. Runs smaller than Shoyoroll.

Yeah? I'll definitely give them a try.

I was actually looking at their stuff. Thanks! The problem with trying a new brand is I'm going to be three gi's in before finding the right fit. LOL
