You have to add the Kanji to it, it costs a little extra but very worth it! I would just call and talk to Mira about what you want and the color options. She is very helpful!

ok thank you i think i might get this instead of the kataaro its hard to decide

@@BA-pz3loyou can’t go wrong either way….I have a kataaro for comparison and some friends have them too, great belts, I just prefer the Eosin. It feels better and the material seems higher quality.

I have the deluxe model. I also had a purple belt deluxe. Both shrunk about 6%, but I wash on eco warm and dry my belt with medium heat a couple times per week. It will take a little while but it will shrink about 6%. You should be about perfect at 125 to make 118 after shrinking. Also remember that because the knot is bigger with a deluxe belt you need slightly more length than a cheap belt with no core.

@@MLundee1 thanks for the reply, will do.

I’m an A3L and wear a 32 waist in jeans.

Thanks!!! 🙏🏻

Thanks! Congrats on your purple belt! I never thought I would ever get this far in jiu-jitsu. Now I know it’s possible with lots of time working hard on the mats!

It’s holding up great! It’s wearing in nice. I do wash and dry it frequently. The edges are turning white and can see the core in a few places. I love it! I’ll try to do an update video in the next few weeks.

@@MLundee1 Thanks for the reply. Sounds great, looking forward to the video 🤙

I just posted an update review for my brown belt

I’ve used both of them and I like the Eosin deluxe soft BJJ belt much more. The materials have a better feel to it. The core is slightly stiffer in the Eosin. The Eosin feels more premium after being washed and worn compared to the Kataaro. I’m not sure when I’ll get a video up comparing them. Stay tuned….

Also…did you see my Eosin purple belt review? I compared the deluxe standard (firm) to the soft. The purple color is darker and deeper than other belts. Some like it, some don’t.

I would love to see this as well. Happy Holidays fam

I just posted an update review for my brown belt

I wanted to get a good comparison between the two brands so I went with a Kataaro deluxe soft belt since that would be about the same style as the EP deluxe soft. I do want to try the grappling weave belt one of these days! Thanks for the recommendation.

@@MLundee1 hey mate, I ordered the grappling weave so I’ll do a video too so you can have a look before you commit money down the line. Probably will arrive late July

It shrank just a little over 4% which was about 5 inches. I wash and dry it frequently. Call customer service and talk with Mira, she’s great at answering questions. Tell her Max Lundeen referred you and she will take 10% off the price!

I think the Eosin is a better belt, especially if you get Kanji. Their Kanji looks the best. All the other companies have the belt stitching lines run through the kanji but Eosin doesn’t do this. It looks way better. I think the 1.75 deluxe soft belt is the way to go. Mention my name (Max Lundeen) and you’ll get a discount (I think 10%).

Also….I got my brown belt and I’m going to review a Eosin Panther deluxe soft and Kataaro deluxe soft brown belts in a few months. They are both ordered and on their way!

Congratulations on the promotion! Also I think that video will be super helpful to a lot of people to make a decision. I don't think theres any videos on RUclips comparing the two brands. I appreciate the help, I'll definitely go with the Eosin Panther! 🤙🏼

@@MLundee1 One more question, how much did the soft belt shrink over time? I wear an A4 and I'm contemplating going 1/2 size up to compensate for any shrinking

@@Daniel_Cooley I wash and dry my belts frequently and they shrank about 4.2% each. That’s about 5 inches or so on an A4 belt. I would figure out the length of the belt you ideally want and multiply by 1.042 and that should be the size you shoot for. The great thing about Eosin is their belts come in half size (about 3”) increments, so you can get pretty close to what you need. My soft belt came in at 116” and it shrank to about 111”. Hope that helps. You can always call and talk to Mira to help you out. She’s great!

Both are great, but I do like rolling in the soft belt more 😁

Richard, it will shrink about 4-5 percent. Mine was actually 4.3% with multiple wash and dry cycles. That’s over 5 inches on a belt, which could make the difference between being able to tie a knot or not! These thicker belts take a little more length to tie a know compared to cheaper soft belts. I’d measure your current belt and multiply by 1.04 or 1.05 and see what length you get...then order around that size.

@@MLundee1 thanks bro. Much appreciated and thanks for the reply 🤙🏿

Only the deluxe color belts allow you to choose between standard and soft. Go to the website and click on products....right underneath jiu jitsu black belt there is the “deluxe color belt”...click on that and choose your color. There will be a drop down menu that asks for size and firmness. The standard and soft are both options there. I just checked and that should work.

@@MLundee1 Thanks alot Max. I appreciate you.

Hey! Did you get eosin belt? How can you compare it with the karaaro?

It will slowly fade to a lighter purple. Look at my video and pause where I show both belts up close together. It was a little odd that the purple color was different between the two belts when new. I thought it had to do with washing but it isn’t. Check out my other video and maybe you can compare? They will fade a bit with time. I finally got a stipe on mine, so I’m happy to make progress over Covid quarantine!!

Huge congrats on your promotion! You can’t go wrong with any Eosin Panther belt!

@@MLundee1 from your video, the firm belt wear’s faster? Would you recommend the soft or the firm version?

@@floker5494 no, the soft wears in quicker. The standard (firm) is just a thicker and heavier belt. They both come untied when rolling so you may want to use the lock knot. I think the coloring of them have more to do with different batch of purple cotton. I got my brown belt in October and I went with the soft version and got some Kanji. I’ll do a video soon. The belt will shrink 4% (5” or so). If you have questions, call Eosin and talk to Mira. Tell her Max Lundeen sent you and she will give you 10% off. Good luck and happy rolling!

Thanks. I already wrote them and mentioned you 😜, just waiting for them to answer. I‘m just not sure if I order the 115 or 118 inch belt. My current belt is 111 inch which is just right.

@@floker5494 I would go with 118 because even the Eosin soft belt is thicker than most belts and having a little extra helps with the larger knot. But your choice!

Haunted you can’t go wrong either way!

Max Lundeen have you used the Kataaro? Also I’m considering 1.5” belt, how wide is your eosin?

Haunted I have not used Kataaro but I’ve seen them in person. Very nice, the chess piece version is super cool. But I think Eosin has a slight edge up in quality. Mine is 1.75”. Width is total personal preference. I was contemplating wiser at 2” at one point.

I really like them both. The firm faded color more. The firm just feels robust and good around the waist. The trade off is a bigger knot that doesn’t stay tied as well. But the soft is really great too and very comfortable to roll in. I’ll make an update video at some point.

Update video has been posted

Roy Francis I love the belt. It is held up very well. It’s only faded a small amount and overall shrinkage is around 5%. Color is great and quality is awesome! It’s almost too nice....I want it to start looking beat up and worn!

Max Lundeen have you thought about doing a follow up video

Roy Francis update video posted

Yes the firm is super stiff and you have to do the lock knot tie method to keep it tied. It gets easier as it breaks in. The soft is still pretty stiff but way nicer to tie right away as it breaks in pretty quick.

I think so. You can email their customer service rep Mira and she can help. Right now Eosin is running a 10% off for BJJ rank belts on their site.

Thanks. I don’t see the 10% off but I’ll order it anyway.

Tim Ball 2 it’s NAE9G4. Go to Eosinpanther.com and the top right has “introductory special” tab...click on that.

Both are great. I do like the firm better though. It is amazing custom made belt that exudes quality, and the kanji is a great touch. It is much heavier and robust than the soft. The only thing I don’t like is that the knot comes undone when rolling. I hope that improves as it continues to break in. The soft is great too. It stays tied and the knot is smaller.

I will post some knot pictures or will do a video on that soon (soft vs firm for comparison). I have the soft and the firm and both have shrank a little over 4% so far. That is with washing and drying on medium heat at least 10 times. My soft belt is size 5 (115") and was actually 116" when I first measured it. It shrank to 111" which is about 4.3% so far. My firm belt was a size 5.5 (118") and it is now 113" which is about 4.2%.

That’s a great question. Both are high quality and are great. The firm is thick and feels so much more substantial around the waist than the soft. The firm makes a big knot and you have to do the special lock knot so it doesn’t unravel while rolling. I’m used to it now and love it. With time it should soften up more and break in. It is noticeably heavier. The soft belt feels nice around the waist, very light. Felt like a blade at first. With washing it shrunk and became thicker. The knot is smaller on the soft belt. It is much lighter and great to roll in too, and doesn’t come untied as easy.

Yes I have compared briefly. One of my friends just got his black belt and he went with the Kataaro modern flow black belt. That’s the only Kataaro in our gym. Both are of very similar quality and really hard to tell the difference besides color. The Eosin stitching is better, most notable at the very end corners. The reviews I read said Eosin was slightly better too. The Eosin purple blows away any other purple belt I have seen in my gym. Personally, I went with Eosin because they have been making belts much longer, price was better and their logo with the panther just looks rad! Beware though, they do shrink. Also, you have to use the special lock knot to keep the knot from unraveling during rolls. The standard firmness feels much more substantial than the soft. But the soft ties better and feels better rolling. Both versions are great, just depends on what you want personally. Let me know if you have more questions.
