Best?!? That answer will vary from person to person.
For me, Century MA Supply has a lot of quality gi's under $100, so does Asian World of Martial Arts (AWMA).
Train hard and train well.

| I think I might get the lowest price Meijin, Mugen/KI, or Tokon keiko-gi. Anyone with experience in 1-3 of the brands? @Sensei8? |

Meijin Dojo Gi is priced from $47 to $67, depending on size. It's a very durable Gi across the board. Many Okinawan Masters wear Meijin Gi's, including the Meijin Dojo Gi.
As a CI of my own dojo and owning a MA supply store inside of my dojo, I can vouch for the Meijin brand across the board both personally and professionally, as well as many other Gi brands.
I've no experience with Mugen/KI, or Tokon keiko-gi at all.

I have 2 meijin
I like them, they feel much like old friends at this point. Fraying a bit at 3-4 hard years (lots of consistent training, some grappling, lots of gasshukus where it gets used repeatedly, still going.
I’ve had a ronin heavy weight - pretty damn decent
My fave by far is shureido but it costs a bit more.

The KI Mugen gis are popular at my dojo. They seem to hold up well and people say they’re comfortable. I’ve worn the heavyweight KI gi. It is a good gi for the money. Heavy and didn’t fit me right.
For the money, I much preferred Ronin. Seems better made, more comfortable, and it fit me right.
I’ve moved on to Shureido K-11 and won’t ever go back. Way over the $100 price though. |

Old thread but I will vouch for KI Mugen. I have owned all versions, orange, yellow, black, and the new one that is co-branded/whatever with Hirota. I prefer the yellow. It is the heaviest of all 4 and is made of brushed cotton for comfort.
I find them very inexpensive for the value and it is nice that KI does in-house embroidery as well. I had my name put on the lower lapel of my last purchase and it looks nice. |
