I found the Gracie Academy shirt at GracieAcademy.com after seeing Joe Rogan wearing a similar one at a UFC weigh-in. The design was cool, but I immediately liked the vintage "Academia Gracie De Jiu-Jitsu Brasil" design better.
The shirt arrived quickly from Torrance, California and I immediately liked the look of it. It is 100% cotton printed in Canada. (the graphics look "pre-distressed" and that's cool)
I like the soft cotton shirt they chose, and it seems sturdy for being a medium thickness t-shirt.
(From the page regarding this shirt)
"Academia Gracie de Jiu-Jitsu" is the literal Portuguese translation
for "Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy." This vintage t-shirt pays homage to the
original Gracie Academy in Rio de Janeiro. With a super cool 1950's
style silk screen design on the front and the classic AG "Academia
Gracie" logo on the back, people will think you were a student of the
original Gracie Academy under Grand Masters Carlos and Helio Gracie!
We've partnered with the premiere MMA lifestyle apparel company, Roots of Fight, to produce a limited number of vintage Gracie Brand garments. All the garments are custom built (not off the shelf), vintage dyed, and garment washed. The art is hand drawn and printed using specialty ink for the softest touch. Each garment is carefully constructed to fit exactly as if it were produced during the peak of the Gracie dynasty in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. While wearing this vintage gear, don't be surprised if someone asks you if you trained at the original Gracie Academy with Carlos and Helio!
Garment Details: 100% super soft cotton, lightweight slim fit, custom built, vintage dyed, specialty ink for soft touch.
Available Sizes: M, L, XL, XXL
Ralek's Size: Ralek is 6'2" 190lbs and is wearing a Large.
Color: Black
The shirt is $35.00 plus a $4.17 shipping/handling charge... and that is the only thing I see wrong with this shirt, or any product from this store. I recommend buying these products, and I plan on buying more when I can save up for some other shirts I like from this website.
I rate this shirt a solid "A" and I give it an overall rating of "9 out of 10" - I deducted a point because I actually paid for this shirt & I feel it could have been sold at a price closer to $20.00 and not $35.00
