They probably broke rules every time I wore them onto the shiai mats after, say the 1980s but they endured a career of getting to every shiai I could and still stood up.
I wonder if that says something about the quality of judogi then of those days or the rules of today.

probably says more about the quality, my dogi never live past 2 years.
