MKimono are the stuff of legends. They are one of the earliest kimono / BJJ gi brands and the beautiful
Luciana Machado, the brains behind the brand, designed many of the original BJJ academy / team gis out there such as the original Gracie Barra..etc. so I feel honoured that they sent me this gi to review.
The best advert I've ever heard for MKimono gis is the ones Tim et al do at

If you want a real gi, buy MKimono. If you don't think BJJ is a fashion show, you need an MKimono!
Here's what the MKimono.com website says about the Hybrid gi:

This is an enhancement on the legendary MKimonos Hybrid Weave kimono. MKimonos created the Hybrid weave in 2001 and it quickly became our most popular gi. It successfully combines the lightness of a Single weave and the durability of a Double weave into a Middleweight package. The weave pattern is reminiscent of traditional Single or Double weave fabric, but the weight is more in line with most of the Gold weaves on the market. We have made small enhancements on the original design that we are sure will continue to make this the one of the most sought after designs in the industry. The new design features a return to the classic M and straight JIU-JITSU logo. This is one of our most requested embroidery combinations. The top contains proprietary revisions to two reinforcement points while maintaining the traditional, clean MKimonos lines. The pants feature three enhancements to the reinforcements, new quadruple stitching on the cuffs and a new, corded drawstring.
