    Hi

    Silly Question but here goes, I've normally had light weight Gi's but recently I've bought a heavy weight
    This Gi, is a complete B*****d to get the creases out. never had this problem before so I thought I would ask the question.

    Seems to come out the washing machine with mega creases, thinking tumbbble dryer with get rid of them, but no'ooooooooo.

    Is there a bloody knack to ironing this beast of a Gi???


    Cheers
    Dave...

    I would recommend not tumble drying the Gi, but let it dry hanging up and iron it whilst it is still damp, the moisture will help to steam it out. That and lots of steam should see you right.

    No easy solution mate - get a heavier iron perhaps? Laughing

    Do as Lochie said - it'll get easier the more washes and the more it's worn

    Creases are nothing - you should try blood! Wink
