how does this jacket compare to a double weave?

Double weave too heavy for daily practice, this gi is comfortable and thick enough

I agree with Craig E. This gi is plenty thick and durable. It can get hot depending on your workout or the season.

Its ok for judo practice, but it is lighter weight, if i was still competing then I would go for the double weave, its made in Pakistan, I had ordered a size 4 and after washing in cold water it still shrunk to much in the sleeves for me, so I had to re order in size 5, size 5 pants to long, but the size 4 pants fit ok, and im 5'8" 200lbs.

double layer yes, have not tried triple, might be close... depends on how tall!

It is a large weave, very neutral in color - with pale, silver/gray, cream and darker beige stitching. It feels soft, not smooth but soft. I bought it with the intention of changing the fabric (& will eventually) but it is a nice fabric so will keep as is for a while.

There is a difference in quality in both MF cloths. the CG one has got a short nap on one side and a long one on the other. Also the CG one is softer and will not scratch the paint and hence a better one in my opinion for exterior paint. For cleaning interiors or other tough surfaces it might be a good idea to use less expensive ones but for paint these do the job well.

I am sorry I can't offer you a comparison. I went for the 9280 because I iron a large variety of fabrics, and I sew as well. I have owned the iron for less than a month, but I have ironed linen, polyester chiffon, 100% cotton (both knit and woven), girl scout patches, and cotton poly blends. No leaking, no scorching. This is a big, heavy iron that ejects lots of steam, so be prepared. It glides smoothly and effortlessly. I have experienced no scorching or yucky marks transferring to the soleplate after almost a month of daily use.

I have the Zebra Print, but I am assuming it is the same material. If it is, then yes, the fabric has the feel of a coat/ski jacket.

The weave looks large but is really a tight weave and the fabric has a soft almost velour feel. Assembly is easy after you do the first chair. We bought two additional chairs and I had all four together in about an hour.

I don't use one because the fleece on the bottom is very nice but you could. I haven't had problems with slippage. It's more of an english fit obviously. It's a nice lightweight alternative.

The only difference I have found is that this foot seems to slide across the fabric better. I have quilted some VERY thick quilts with this foot and was extremely happy with the results. Hope that helps.

I also ordered it on Amazon. It is a wonderful jacket! Warm even in wind. I wear layers underneath as well. A friend ordered hers from an authorized retailer and mine is identical!

I am not sure of the difference. I can say that the SevenJ is a good fit and a quality jacket. I also bought a pair of packable pants, which are good quality as well, but there is no fly, so I had to buy another pair that was designed to my needs. I did just order a Vancouver jacket as well, but I am waiting for it.

Canvas is much heavier than a poly tarp it is much more rugged but if ur packing in go for the lightweight poly

I currently have both (Aggressor in Tundra and the 3-in-1 in Black) and am deciding which to keep. By all observations these two jackets are identical in size, build quality, stitching, insulation, waterproofness, etc. So much so, that it appears the only real differences are: 1. the available colors. Aggressor has Tundra or Tan. 3-in-1 has Black, Navy or Red. 2. the microphone molle at each shoulder on the 3-in-one jacket. There doesn't appear to be any justification for the 3-in-1's higher price. Guess you need to pay it if you want black. Would be nice if the outer shells and the fleece jackets were sold individually so you could mix and match the colors.

I have some of both. They are very similar. The differences are more fashion related than functional. I feel like the Fiona is cut higher, where as the Jubralee is lower cut. They both stabilize the same. Since I wear my under tanks or T's, I don't care about the fashion aspect. I buy whichever is on sale when I need a new one.

I am no thread expert but there is a difference. This is polyester layered over polyester. 100% cotton thread has a different feel to it. I would suggest going to Hobby Lobby, Walmart, Joann Fabric or any other craft store and feel for yourself the difference between the coats and clark brand and other brands. Even though this is less expensive, in the long run it's more costly because it runs out quickly and it breaks, tangles, snags in your machine and almost all the time during hand sewing so you are basically using more thread and having to discard much of this thread. You get what you pay for. Coats and Clark is not the company it used to be. Now, all of their threads are made in Mexico. Cheap labor and sub-standard material. Hope this helps.

I own the 3 inch and the 5 inch. The 3 inch is a fine tight weave but the 5 inch is much looser. The bigger the strainer, the bigger the holes. I would say the 5 inch is similar to a wire mesh strainer. Hope that helps!

TBH there is not that much of a difference. This one has grommets on four corners, so it would be easier to string up. It is also in my opinion far more durable than your standard Mylar emergency blanket.
