Ok, the TLDR; this Gi is absolutely worth it, even if it's pricey
When compared side to side with my first Gi, which is a Pakistan cotton/polyester blend I believe, the differences are stark and plentiful. The Origin Gi is noticeably lighter, however after having it weaponized against me and pulled on and hung off of, it isn't even showing a sign of wear. Fitment is amazing, maybe a smidgen oversized, at 6ft and 205lbs with an athleticy powerlifter build (but not jacked) an A3 fits amazing with just a bit of extra room. The weave on this Gi seems to make it feel a bit more slippery, not rough and sandpaper-like as with the offshore Gi. Not saying my old Gi was trash, but I definitely feel like I got what I invested in with the Origin Gi. Both the embroidery and the stitching seem nice, no frays or loose ends, I did find a single long thread, but it was from where the seamstress had ended a stitch, I guess it would be, and it was just a matter of clipping that excess off. And finally, it dries really fast, I can wash it in the evening and just hang dry it, and it will usually be nice and crisp by the morning.
If you are in the market for a premium, if not the best, Gi on the market, consider an Origin. For me, it was my Christmas gift to myself, and it was between an Origin and a Shoyoroll. But that new Origin X FWH Gi in white is also beckoning from across the room! It's definitely a pricey investment, especially if like me, you are paying for a USD to CAD…

Fits amazing, feels way smoother and softer than any Gi ever. Rad embroidering. Can’t explain how well it fits and feels in comparison to a “normal” or traditional Gi. Don’t waste your money on other ones, buy this.
