Gentleman,

In fact I was not talking about the dye smell. That was Ok at the time. I've soaked it with vinegar and cold water, and also some soap. It didn't really work 100%, in the first four practices or so I left the dojo like a smurf or maybe a blue version of Hulk.

But it's about other keikogi, one single layer cotton one that I got from Japan's Makko brand. It has such a bad sweat smell on it. And I just can't make it go away.

About Men, in fact mine doesn't really smell a lot. Kote is a bit of problem since I sweat too much in the hands, so I clean it inside and outside with a rag and put it to get some fresh air. When in dire need I apply some of the bogu spray. It works - apparently. I've also tried silica gel inside the bag, those little bags with silica crystals inside that you use in electronic environments to prevent humidity, like inside computer CPUs.

This is an interesting, although stinky, thread I'd say.

PS. This 'tight-fit' gi stuff was a joke, wasn't it?
