What ever it means, I forgive you... since I am now a different person after coalition with Himura. Should I still am the person I was, you might have been sliced to pieces with my double kodachi..akakakakak

hi yama2, who is OMAS?

Suggest you don't wear black. I don't think some senseis take kindly to black for some reason although I see no problem with it. If you are practicing in Penang, suggest you don't buy the remaining aikido hakama from OMAS.

In Kendo, are you guys allowed to wear black hakama (but with navy blue keikogi) instead of navy blue?

I have washed it once at room temperature but did not observe the shrinking effect as widely written in internet (i.e keikogi shrinks over washes).

I kinda expected my gi to shrink in the wash, so like you, i ordered a size larger, and to my disappointment it didn't shrink. After almost two years still the gi hasn't shrunk much.

I read the Hiroshi Ozawa book and it says you can shorten the sleeves from the shoulders and height from the waist. Pull up the sleeves of the gi at the shoulders and sew it there. Hope this was helpful

My Gi doesn't shrink,.....but the color is start to coming off.......

wan to dye back to indigo in some batik shop

will inform Ain & Alvin too...
