I know the yellow label is slightly heavier at 13.75 oz weight. But why is the black label more expensive though it uses less fabric threads by square?

For the record, I have a yellow label Mugen and I like it, and I am in the market for another Mugen but am trying to decide between the two.

I have had 12 oz in other brands and I loved it, the only issue was with wear, the seams started tearing out. I had a 12 oz tokaido and it sadly fell apart. personally I like the Orange the 10 oz. is perfect and it has a nice snap to it. OSU!

I can't add much here, having not worn any of them, but a few classmates have the black, yellow, and orange label. They all (about 4 of them) like the orange the best.

The orange label is good for a sparring uniform. I prefer a bit more weight on my gi for workouts as I perspire heavily and it just holds the sweat better.

There's no doubt that the Mugen gi by KI offer good value for their cost.

I finally acquired a black label to compare with my yellow. The black label is made of canvas material, so it has a rougher texture than the brushed cotton yellow label. Perhaps this fabric is costlier and maybe longer lasting?

I like both. Good value in my opinion.
