Anyone know where to get one? Particularly need one that is the 'Judo' style, not the Karate style (ie. thicker).

I have tried the local places and they have said, 'Use Blue... it's the same!' Yeah, funny that.. the same just not the right colour!

Order one of the Ronin Brand black judogi from Kinji San Martial Arts Supply. Their URL is http://www.kinjisan.com/

I have seen or tried the black dogi from some of the other companies (like Proforce) and they all pretty much suck. The Ronin Brand dogi however are very high quality. You might even want to write them and see if they have a distributor in your part of the world, but if not you can always order direct from them.

I have had some from the Ronin brand in the past and
they are very good. If I remember correctly though
they run a little smaller than some other brands.

You guys are the best. Why didn't I just ask Robert directly? Oh yeah... IT WAS HIS BIRTHDAY, that's why! I'm following the link now. Sorry for the lack of posts over the past 12 months too... Business has taken off in a huge way. Gone from a two man show to now having a staff of 10!

I just happened to receive a black Ronin for Christmas, and it was incredible. I didn't think I would love the heavier weight than what I am used to, but it is just so much more comfortable and flattering than the Century ones which I normally wear.

I hear it was expensive, though.
