Moka Hardware is an up and coming BJJ manufacturer fron Denmark providing BJJ Gear (Gis, rashguard, Tshirts etc)
I was looking for a lightweight gi with a simple design (not too bling), but also very solid. Also I wanted to spend around 100 euros (retails at 107 euros) on a gi for a change.
I contacted Shimon Mochizuki from Moka and was really satisfied with the great service he provided me.
The Gi arrived at my doorstep surprisingly fast, despite living in Serbia.

Here are the specs:

– The jacket is made of 100% Cotton – Pearl weave 475grms

– 10 oz Twill pants

– All stress point reinforced and tripple needle stitched.

– Felt double heavy lapel

– Rope drawstring for tighter fastening and they are easier to loosen as well

SIZE INFO

GI WEIGHS (in kg): A3-1,9 kgs.
Sizing:

I’m 1m86 and about 85 kilos so I used the A3. The first thing I noticed when I received the gi was how light but it was (1,9 kgs for a A3).  The gi fitted me well but I wanted it to be a bit tighter. I personally like my gis to have a tight fit as I feel that I move better. So I washed the gi a few times at 40 degrees but it barely shrank. I then washed it twice at 90 degress and it sharnk just enough for me to have my desired fit. I was all set to roll in it! After 3 weeks of rolling non stop in the Gi, the size is the same.

Material and durability:
The jacket is made of Pearl Weave and a one piece design, so fear of tearing is non-existent. The quality of the fabric is very similar to the higher priced Jiu Jitsu gis.
The skirt of the jacket in size feels great , not too short and not too long , much like the higher priced gi’s, the GI feels as high quality as the other gi manufacturers.
The pants  are also made of twill material, and very strong. The tie system of the pants uses 6 loops instead of the usual 2 or 3 loops, so the drawstring is sure to stay put. The fit of the pants are great in the seat and crotch area, they don’t fit snug but not too loose either, the fit of the pant legs do feel a bit long, but a few washes and the pant legs should come up a bit.
After 3 weeks of rolling everyday in the gi, it has held up very well to tough gripping of my partners. This gi is built to last and will do great in training and competition.
Look:
The thing I like about this gi is the simple and understated look. It has that Scandinavian understated design. If I want I can decorate it with various patches. I think it’s a nice classy low key gi with a cool design.
Feeling when rolling:

After washing it a few times at 90 degrees, I was able to shrink to my desired size. The gi is very comfortable to roll in especially now that it is to my size. I think that I will especially enjoy this one in the summer when temperatures will hit the mid 30’s.
In Conclusion
The Moka Hardware Simple Gi is fantastic value for money. It retails at 107 euros and to be honest, at that price, I have never seen a such good quality gi! If this gi had cost 160 euros I would not have been surprised to be honest.
The design is classy and the quality is great and I can see this gi lasting a long time.
I would give the Moka Simple Gi a Mark of 9/10.
