C-SPEC BODY BUTCHERS Jiu Jitsu Gi

Our updated "C-SPEC" construction introduces quite a few improvements to accommodate the modern Gi style of Jiu Jitsu. We've re-shaped certain panels to address certain short-comings of the traditional BJJ Gi design, and we've added two-ply paneling along strategic areas in order to make it less likely your opponent keeps an frustratingly strong grip (curse you, lapel guard!)

Comprehensive bullet-points for all updated specs can be found immediately below, with a more thorough breakdown of some noteworthy structural changes afterward:

• 450 GSM Pearl Weave Jacket

• 10 oz Herringbone Twill Cotton

• Updated wide-angle jacket vents

• Two-ply lower skirt paneling

• Slanted lapel ends

• Angled sleeve reinforcements

• Redesigned knee panel shape

• Pants inseam reinforcements

• Slightly tapered lower pant leg

• Silicone-dipped (2x) drawstring ends

• Sublimated shoulder/yoke lining

• Includes drawstring carry bag

• Meets IBJJF guidelines

Reinforced Lower Jacket with Modified Lapels We all hate being stuck in a nasty Lapel Guard, so we've added a 2nd panel of Pearl Weave along the bottom of the skirt, along with slanting the ends of the lapel - the idea being to make the material harder to bunch up for grips, and the angle of the lapel ends making it harder for opponents to get a strong grip on the bottom of your lapels.

Angled Sleeve Reinforcements The C-SPEC makes standard our two-ply sleeve design (seen on previous models like our Goose Feather), which helps fight the strength of opponent's grips, whether it's Spider Guard, Lasso, or Judo grips.

Reshaped Yoke/Shoulder PanelFull lining is not IBJJF approved, so we simple extended the shoulder/yoke panel down a few inches.

Reconstructed + Reshaped Knee PanelsTraditional Gi pants see a rectangular panel straight down the front leg. But bull-fighter grips often involve your opponent grabbing outside the knee area. So we've remodeled our already-extended knee panel to progressively angle outward toward the knee - and we used Pearl Weave - so the result is a a much harder fabric for your opponents to maintain passing grips such as bull-fighter.

New Leg Inseam ReinforcementInner leg grips are of course a big part of many passing styles, so we've also added a 2" wide strip along the pants' inseam to reinforce against unbreakable grips from a dangerous passer.

Dipped Drawstrings We've always wanted a work-around for the conventional knotted drawstring. To avoid having to retie it, and just to clean up the look of the pant. But removing the knot and/or burning the ends of the string means that your string might get lost inside your waistband during laundry. So we've double-dipped our drawstring ends in a durable silicone, adding a splash of color while we're able to both 1. Remove the old school knot and 2. Prevent the string from coming loose in the wash.
