IN DEPTH Review: Black Lucky Gi & FightPlanet.ca Service Review * PICS *

[chdnny]

Ehem...

- Black + White Belt = Fashion crime

- Lucky Gi = Target at tournaments (No one goes easy on a Lucky Gi owner)

Wich brings us to.... *drumroll*

- Black Lucky Gi + White Belt = Getting run over in tournaments while looking tacky

:icon_chee

Don't take it personal, just my opinion.

Oh and for the other guy who asked about Judo??? Wearing that thing in Judo will get you many friendly ippons :icon_twis

Not fashion crime, ninjitsu alert. I saw BJ Penn rolling in the white gi and it looks awesome. Fits purple belts and up in my opinion.

Appreciate the review good job!

anybody wanna test their luck and buy mine? black a2...only worn 4 times

 

[Michael Davis]

i am ordering the same gi from fight planet on monday

 

[Darph]

As far as I can tell, never buy a lucky gi.

Shitty customer service. Shitty gear. Buy Padilla and Sons or Toraki.

^Honestly, I've been following this thread since its creation, and it has me seriously wary to buy anything from otm, especially how the tc got shafted on replacement pants, wtf?

 

[Michael Davis]

Anyone got pictures of teh white one or a review, is theer any diffrances.

Yeah seriously.

I ordered a Warrior-One single weave gi and the lapel stitching ripped. I sent them an email about it and they sent me a free double weave replacement, which has held together for about a year.

I'm torn between buying another one (I need a white double weave) or a Toraki BJJ kimono.

 

[Metsudragon**]

If anyone still cares, the black gis are now back in stock, hopefully they fixed the ridiculous quality problems and customer service.

Just a quick update. The black lucky gi has held up "ok". The little holes that i took pictures of, got larger. The material itself feels like cardboard after i wash it in the machine and hang dry.

But when i wash my atama and hang dry, it still feels soft.

Also OTM SHOP DID NOT REPLACE MY PANTS. Scott / Scotty or whoever that was arranging for my pants to be replaced ended up sending me some otmshop brand Gi (OTM Midevil Kimono Blue)... in size a2/a3 or something. I mean, all I wanted was for the pants to be replaced and he sent me this subpar gi as some sort of replacement??? That thing is just sitting in my closet molding...

It's been so long now that I've even tried to buy new pants from Fight Planet, but unfortunately they won't sell just the pants...


IF YOU GET A LUCKY GI STICK WITH THE WHITE ONE.

I was going to cancel my order of black gi, but it was too late, the gi's already been sent. My bad I didn't read this forum before I made my purchase.

When I told Scott the reason why, he said that he already replaced the gi that belong to BJJ_addiction.

BJJ_addiction, did you received the gi?

 

[tiger.shark]

Thanks for the incredibly detailed review and sorry about your problems.

While I am nowhere near the $300 gi market you did however help me... I'm staying away from OTM for good.

 

[customguards]

Just thought I would throw it out there that SSF Gear has a fantastic gi that I've been using for about 3 months. Ron's a great guy and he understands fight gear because he also has a couple of gyms in Tennesse. Just an option to throw out there.

 

[Jiu-Jitsu Cop]

Hey guys I never get involved with this stuff but I am good friends with the owners of OTM. If there is a problem with customer sevice PM me here and I will contacte Scotty about it.

Hell, for $300, it should come with a guy who ties the pants and belt for you. lol

I was going to cancel the order on the 19th October but Scott from OTM said that the gi's already been sent. Today I got the tracking number and the gi's was sent on the 20th October. I paid the shipping cost for USPS EMS but he sent it by using Priority Mail International which is cheaper and slower. Can't trust this guy no more.

 

[tiger.shark]

Hope your gi ends up better than the TS'

 

[ghostdude8]

OTM is gettin to be a little inconsistent with there products. hopefully these new lucky gi's arent bad and do last for a while for anyone who buys one. OTM is a great shop but i only wish they lowered the prices on there gi's. its fucken crazy paying for a gi that could rip anytime and it cost over 200.
