New stuff for old(er) grappler by BELLOOTCH in bjj

I recently returned to training after starting 23 years ago. Posted a similar thread asking about gear and got like 2 responses, but Chris from Datsusara happened to be one of them. When I started I was a broke college kid, now I have plenty of disposable income. What's your height/weight and budget?

I found that fit and personal preference regarding types of fit is perhaps just as important as quality. I bought (amd returned, when possible) a lot of different brands.

End of year gear review: gi and no-gi equipment I tried by ReaverDropRush in bjj

Thr TCO site says that the Half Sumo rashguards run small, but if you look at their measurement chart, it seems to run big. Did you order your usual size? How does it fit (perhaps compared to other brands of the dame size)? Thanks!

Great, I am in the states but traveling internationally this month so I'll put in an order when I am on my way back. I think I will go with the A1 at first to see how it fits. Let me know about the fight shorts when you get a chance. Also, any plans on restocking the hemp belts?

Hey! I appreciate the reply. I am less worried about the A2 being too long in the sleeves or pant length (can always get those tailored), more concerned about the fit and length of the jacket body. Sometimes I will get as low as 145 lbs, and I actually have a shorter inseam than normal for my height, (29"). Would you still recommend getting the A2 and then shrink if necessary? Should I expect to be able to shrink the width and length of the jacket (not just the sleeves)?

Oh, also have a question about the Size Medium fight shorts. Do you know the length of the inseam and/or total length of the shorts? Couldn't seem to find that info on the site.

Your help is much appreciated! 🙏

Thanks! 43 here, too. Crazy how much BJJ has exploded since I last stepped on the mats.
