“I only own one gi, and it’s getting pretty old, dirty, starting to fall apart. I want to get one of the dark blue ones, but I don’t see many. Do you think you have any in my size?”
“Why blue?”
“White looks dirty very easily. My pants are pretty much permanently gray. I have a black cat to boot.”
“I like them. Forces people to wash them.”
“They look dirty even when do wash them, though.”
“Ever seen the pink gis?”
“YES! Yuck. I don’t think I’ve never seen anyone in one though except for the internet. Do women actually wear those?”
“Yeah, when I was in California there was a all women’s class of like 30, all happily rolling in their pink gis.”
“Well, no pink and co-ed classes here, and I prefer it that way.”
“We can order you a gi and you won’t have to pay shipping. Just look on the Gracie website. Did you want to get that in a women’s size?”
“Women’s size? Do they have a different sizing system? I think this one is like an A2 or A3. I’m having a hard time finding a tag where it isn’t completely worn off.”
“Yes, they do have women’s sizes and the gis fit different.”
“Cool. What colors do they have? Do they have the dark blue.”
“No. They only have them in pink.”
“…so that class of women? How do you know they were happy to wear pink if they only had the option was pink or a gi that doesn’t fit right? Maybe they’re actually all angry and feel ridiculous in their pink gis?”
“So… you don’t want a pink gi?”
“…nah, I want a dark blue one. A pink one probably still won’t fit right anyways. It’s not like most womens’ pants do.”
