The "Jiu Jitsu Originals" Casual Gi Pants are meant for your everyday use, but have roots in the dojo. Paying tribute to the gentle art with elements from the traditional training uniform: Fabrics, Drawstring closure; Multi-point loop system; Gusseted crotch; Stitch pattern; Elevated rear waist. A few key alterations serve to better balance these Gi-inspired features with wearable apparel:
Tapered slim fit
Redesigned mesh-lined pockets* (resized and moved higher up, with a more natural forward angle)
12oz Marl Grey Canvas Construction
Unique Jewel Weave loop accents
Signature 4-point loop system
Minimal branding for a clean look
Reinforced bar-tack rear pocket stitching
Folded label accent along rear pocket
Lightweight Pearl Weave bar-tacked rear pocket with folded label accent
FIT ALTERATIONS BREAKDOWN:
Since the traditional training Gi is intended for maximum mobility, the fit tends to be more boxy than you'd find in your wardrobe at home. So we modified each size to make these pants more form-fitting. After taking into consideration which body type each Gi is suited for, the fit was adjusted by slimming the legs and tapering the fit toward the bottom cuff. While BJJ Gis typically have a roomy crotch for maximum guard play and takedowns, it's a bit much for casual use, and isn't particularly flattering on your booty. So we lifted the crotch up and modified the gusset accordingly.
FIT ADVICE: Considering the alterations mentioned above... If you order your usual Gi size, the alterations have already been made (which is why the Size Guide in the image slideshow is different than our typical Gi Size Guide). So you'd receive a fitted pair of pants that hug the body more closely, with a taper and length akin to a pair of fitted chinos or joggers (as the photos show here). And if you tend to be on the cusp of 2 sizes, it's safe to go for the larger size and shrink down if needed.
While many of the features listed in the bulletpoints above have been present in the last few editions of these pants.
*For reference, the model is 5’10” 160lbs wearing an unwashed A1.
