The updated "C-SPEC" construction introduces quite a few improvements to accommodate the modern Gi style of Jiu Jitsu. 93brand re-shaped certain panels to address certain short-comings of the traditional BJJ Gi design, and they've added two-ply paneling along strategic areas in order to make it less likely your opponent keeps an frustratingly strong grip (curse you, lapel guard!)

Comprehensive bullet-points for all updated specs can be found immediately below, with a more thorough breakdown of some noteworthy structural changes afterward:

• 450 GSM Pearl Weave Jacket
• 10 oz Herringbone Twill Cotton
• Updated wide-angle jacket vents
• Two-ply lower skirt paneling 
• Slanted lapel ends 
• Angled sleeve reinforcements
• Redesigned knee panel shape
• Pants inseam reinforcements
• Slightly tapered lower pant leg
• Silicone-dipped (2x) drawstring ends
• Sublimated shoulder/yoke lining 
• Includes drawstring carry bag
• Meets IBJJF guidelines
  

Reinforced Lower Jacket with Modified Lapels 
We all hate being stuck in a nasty Lapel Guard, so 93brand has added a 2nd panel of Pearl Weave along the bottom of the skirt, along with slanting the ends of the lapel - the idea being to make the material harder to bunch up for grips, and the angle of the lapel ends making it harder for opponents to get a strong grip on the bottom of your lapels.

Angled Sleeve Reinforcements 
The C-SPEC makes standard their two-ply sleeve design (seen on previous models like our Goose Feather), which helps fight the strength of opponent's grips, whether it's Spider Guard, Lasso, or Judo grips. 

Reshaped Yoke/Shoulder Panel
Full lining is not IBJJF approved, so they simple extended the shoulder/yoke panel down a few inches. 

Reconstructed + Reshaped Knee Panels
Traditional Gi pants see a rectangular panel straight down the front leg. But bull-fighter grips often involve your opponent grabbing outside the knee area. So they've remodeled their already-extended knee panel to progressively angle outward toward the knee - and they used pearl weave - so the result is a much harder fabric for your opponents to maintain passing grips such as bull-fighter. 

New Leg Inseam Reinforcement
Inner leg grips are of course a big part of many passing styles, so they've also added a 2" wide strip along the pants' inseam to reinforce against unbreakable grips from a dangerous passer. 

Dipped Drawstrings 
93brand always wanted a work-around for the conventional knotted drawstring. To avoid having to retie it, and just to clean up the look of the pant. But removing the knot and/or burning the ends of the string means that your string might get lost inside your waistband during laundry. So they've double-dipped the drawstring ends in a durable silicone, adding a splash of color while able to both 1. Remove the old school knot and 2. Prevent the string from coming loose in the wash.
