I would imagine your navy blue MKM would be about £20 dearer than the MKM white, so it saves you a lot of hassle.<br />Also, my dye job is a little patchy, you can't see it in the photos, but I reckon it'll look a bit more patchy after I wear it and wash it again. We'll see.

Just that you gotta wear blue, white or black, and you can't mix and match i.e. blue pants, white top.<br /><br />Baby blue-- navy-- robin's egg-- cerulean... it's all good! And I saw many navy blue gis this weekend at the IBJJF I attended.Georgettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08705282002904234217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7724305.post-53980587464117346112010-03-07T18:55:49.743+00:002010-03-07T18:55:49.743+00:00Looks awesome!Looks awesome!A.D.

For me, when I've changed colours (rather than re-dyeing back to original glory) I've been disappointed that the non-cotton thread doesn't take the dye. It is what it is.
