Re: hella big gi

Wash it on hot, you may be surprised....

Mine seemed way too long when I bought it, so I hemmed up the sleeves to a comfortable fit. About a dozen washings later, they were too short (and too worn to un-hem, alas). Now they're up near my elbows!

One of our first kyu students came to class last night looking very embarrassed. He's preparing for shodan and wanted to look spiffy, so he washed his white belt--just washed, air dry. Now it barely goes around him anymore.
