Meerkatsu art - Honey Badger Gi v3


I designed the third installment of the honey badger series of gis for Tatami Fightwear. It goes on sale through their store and trusted resellers on Friday 30th January 2015.

Here are more photos:



Tatami made the Honey Badger v3 gi on the same specifiations as their Zero G kimono. Here's my review of the Zero G for reference to materials, size and shrink data.

All the patches are embroidered onto the gi jacket and pants and it might be stating the obvious but contrasting lapels are not comp legal under IBJJF uniform rules. Still, I wanted the gi to be bold and different and in keeping with the perceived character of the honey bagder.

Ha cool. No it wasn't my inspiration as I designed the honey Badger 3 nearly a year ago and it's taken this long to come alive. Though I'm certain I am not the first to do black gi with white lapels.
