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.
I just receved one of the new batch of 150 that they had for sale and i must say out the gate the pants are of much better quality then the canvas material pants that came w/ my white lucky that i had to end up selling because of size. and to the ts: you obviously dried the gi on a high heat setting (which all of the instructions say not to do) to get that frayed ends and burned print look.
If your trying to shrink it do it like this: give the gi an ice cold 2 and a 1/2 cup white vinager bath for 25 mins, wash the gi by itself on a warm to cold setting(i use just liquid deterant and fabric softner in a downey ball)>>dry the gi on the lowest heat setting checking on it/trying it on every 15-20 mins until it fits right.
all of the following wash / dry procedure should go like this: wash in cold, hang dry.
Uh.. don't EVER use fabric softener on a gi.
Vinegar is good, but good lord man you might as well beat it against concrete if youre gonna use fabric softener.
supposedly it kills the life of the gi, I believe that bs until i got tired of my super stiff Koral gis. I used to hate my Korals because they were so scratchy. I used some downy and I shit you not, they are one my favorite gis now!!!!!
i just got my refund for the new black one i bought, so i will share a bit about it.....jacket way too long in the skirt, sleeves too wide....it actually didn't shrink as much as i thought it would...the pants seemed like good quality, but after one wash, a small hole started to develop just above the cuff on the pants and some abrasion on the cuff of the pants....and the drawstring was strung backwards...called them and got a second pair of pants sent out....drawstring backwards on these too...for that much $ you shouldn't have to deal with this crap....sent the whole thing back for a full refund...customer service was great though, candace got everything handled very quickly...at least i am not out any money to find out this thing is not worth the hype...

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

IMO, I think OTM and FightPlanet should shape up. To date I have never had a problem with FP's services. But if I were to pay $300 for a Gi and it was FUBAR I'd be sending it back ASAP. $300 and they can't give you a replacement pair of pants. A house Gi worth $150CAD that is white in color, that is not going to match the black top, isn't gonna cut it. If you wash the Gi and it's starts to deteriorate, then there is a problem here.
