With Gis like this latest Hooks 2.0, 93 Brand makes our job really easy. You get reliability, good looks, and craftsmanship all at the ridiculously low price of $69. But hey, it's a free country. If you don't like good deals and great value, that's your prerogative. But you should trust us. We know big words like prerogative. For those of you who are looking to save that money and get that navy Hooks, we'll have this handsome Gi shipped to you in less than 24 hours. Like previous Hooks models, the updated 2.0 is dependable, resilient, modestly decorated, and - until 11pm EST - has very little markup. Jacket's built from 93 Brand's 425 GSM High Tech Weave, with ample reinforcements and minimal patchwork. Trousers are also relatively simple, featuring only one woven patch (sewn at the left hip) and contrast stitching strictly along the cuff openings. Pants material = soft 8 oz. cotton twill. While the graphics are minimal, 93 Brand by no means skimped on the construction. Noteworthy specs include full-length knee reinforcements (knee coverage regardless of how scrambly your scrambles are or how tree-trunky your legs are), thick round drawstring, and four drawstring loops. Interior seams, typically the most susceptible to fraying, are all protected by soft cotton taping. No shortage of reinforcement stitches, using heavy-duty thread. Also worth mentioning that 93 Brand uses a superior Gi collar, with increased width and thickness for the EVA foam core as well as added rows of collar stitching. This makes it even tougher for your opponents to get a solid grip. White belt included. |
