These are heavy duty bleached white cotton pants made for primarily for Jiu-Jitsu, though you could clearly use them for Aikido or Judo if you wanted something really, really heavy. They have reinforced seams and reinforced knees with cross stitching (quilting) from just below the hip all the way to the ankle for durability.
Made of 100% cotton with a heavy traditional drawstring waist and either a single or double tie loop on the front for the drawstring, these are the same 12 oz fabric pants included with our Piranha Gear Gold Weave 550g uniforms.
Basically, these are the HEAVY pants. However, we'd like to remind you (before you spend the extra $'s) that the pants are not usually the first thing to fail in a uniform. The next step down (our "heavy pants") do just fine for most people. The fabric in those is also a bit softer - thus a bit more comfortable. So it's a little bit of a trade off to go with these (plus they are going to be a bit warmer during workouts)...
Our gold weave's tend to be sized a little larger than "average" for typical jiu-jitsu cut uniforms. If you're between sizes or your body height and weight doesn't seem to fall inside the numbers listed, we recommend that if you're "tall & thin" go with height (you don't want it too short), "not tall" or "not thin" go with weight (you don't want it too small around your waist/stomach/chest).

Here are the actual (pre-washed) dimensions. We find these uniforms usually shrink around 3% - 5%. More in length than girth and it depends on the water temperature in your machine, hardness of the water, etc.:
