Hi Allen,

Thanks for the awesome feedback! We're stoked to hear that the AXIOM ROLL OR DIE GI JACKET is delivering the quality and fit you've come to expect from Origin.

It's fantastic to know the pearl weave construction feels soft and comfortable, whether you're wearing it over skin or a rashguard. The fact that you're happy with the fit and experiencing minimal shrinkage with proper care really speaks to the craftsmanship we put into our gear. And we're glad the embroidery work caught your eye; those details matter to us.

Thanks for supporting American manufacturing here at Origin and for taking the time to share your thoughts!

We appreciate you putting the AXIOM ROLL OR DIE GI JACKET through its paces, Aaron. That next-level build quality you're experiencing, the lightweight feel, breathability, and incredible strength, is exactly what we engineered this jacket to deliver on the mats.

Thanks for trusting American-made craftsmanship here at Origin!

We're glad to hear the pants, belt, and gi top are hitting the mark for you, and that you're getting compliments on the texture and feel.

We sincerely appreciate you bringing up the washing feedback, especially the specific details about the fabric picking up lint balls when washed with anything other than rash guards. Your input gives us valuable insight into how the gi's fabric blend is performing in real-world care situations, and we understand how having to separate it from your other gear can impact your laundry routine.

Thank you for your honest feedback about both the performance and feel that's working well and the specific care consideration that's affecting your washing experience. This kind of detailed input about how our fabric construction translates to maintenance needs—especially with your direct comparison to cotton gis—helps us understand exactly how our material choices are affecting the overall user experience!

Glad to hear the jacket is hitting the mark! 🇺🇸 Since we build our pants to be 'True to Fit'—meaning a 38 is a true 38-inch circumference—they can sometimes feel a bit more athletic than the 'vanity sizing' you find in big-box stores.

We want you to love those pants as much as the jacket, so don't settle for 'pretty tight.' As long as they haven't been washed or worn in the gym, we’d be more than happy to help you get into a size 40 so you have that extra room to move. Reach out to our team and let’s get you sorted!

The ultimate compliment! We put a lot of work into the weave to make sure it’s as comfortable as it is tough. Glad you’re loving it!
