I saw several women training in Japan who had lapel ties on the Judo gis. A couple of women in my dojo have asked about companies who offer them, but I have not found any.

Any suggestions? (other than making them and sewing them on)

Part 2:
The BJJ gi's are great, they are much-much softer than the average judo uniform, the problem is the jackets are very short. It would be great if someone made a gi out of the BJJ cotton, but with a longer jacket and short sleeves (oh yeah, and with ties for the women who need them).
Hello,

About the Gi's with lapel ties, Actually they are not Judo Gi's, Because of the nature of Judo pulls, grabs and graplling, Judo Gi's do not have lapel nor side ties on them. The Gi's with lapel ties are in fact Aiki Do Gi's. Try looking for Mitsuboshi brand and Tosando brand. This brands are the official Gis endorsed by the Aiki Kai and the Aiki Kai seal are even sewn on them.
