I would’ve preferred A2’s, but the closest thing they had was A1, which ended up being fine. Even softer than my normal gi pants, and just short enough to be stylish. My go-to if I’m not in the mood for jeans. Theres a draw string in the front to tie(like your gi pants, or sweat pants) and a little elastic inside the waistband in the back, so the fit isn’t as universal like your kimono.
