| 93brand, back with a crowd favorite :) The gorgeous "midnight navy" colorway of their Casual Gi Pants is here on BJJHQ.com Meant for everyday use, but with roots in J.J.
This style sees the return of their hybrid "Twin Twill" fabric: a lightweight cotton textile with a unique looking texture that's a result of layering conventional ripstop weaving pattern into a twill weave base. While the fabric is one taken from Jiu Jitsu, the overall construction is modified to be more suitable for casual-wear (see below if you're curious about specifics on the mods).
The Gentle Art also gets a shout-out via a few key elements, like the traditional Gi pant gusset, elevated rear waist, and 93brand's drawstring/loop system. 300GSM Pearl Weave is used for the rear pocket, for a little reminder of the mats when you reach for your wallet. Pearl Weave is also used for 4-point loop system, with a butterfly-guard-inspired woven label on the 4th loop. This style has an addition of the card/cash flap pocket.

SUMMARY OF FIT ALTERATIONS:
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 93brand modified each size to make these pants more form-fitting. You don't need to size down to get a slimmer fit. After taking into consideration which body type each Gi is suited for, the fit was adjusted by: slimming the legs, tapering the legs toward the cuff, and lifting the crotch (that baggy gusset needed for guard mobility... it's not flattering on the booty).FIT ADVICE:
Considering the alterations mentioned above...
- If you order your usual Gi size, the alterations have already been made. 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).
- 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 (the fabric does have some natural shrinkage).
- If you prefer a looser fit, go up one size.
