The karate suit is made of beautiful light fabric and looks after 2 years still good. It can be worn longer, because you can change the reinforced cuffs on sleeves and pants. The material is not as thick and heavy as some other suits, which I think is just better in children. What the Mama's might be interested. If you wet the suit hangs on a hanger, must he will not be ironed. I personally feel great and therefore 5 star. He is not running when washing by the mixed fabric.
