I first came across War Kimonos when I started BJJ at my academy and my instructor initially recommended them – a lot of the guys there were wearing them, having a slim cut, being relatively cheap, easily obtainable (then) and hard-wearing, although recently at my academy they’ve been supplanted as the cheaper gi of choice by Tatami. My instructor’s instructor was Brazilian and had recommended them to his students.
War gis are manufactured in Brazil. These days they aren’t quite as cheap as they used to be and are harder to come across, and are considered as being a bit old school. If you do some research online you may find some reviews of War belts, which have a good reputation.
