Where To Buy Your Gi
The gi is the white suit we wear during training. You are asked to purchase a plain white gi with no designs.
Nine Circles supplies good quality products for Aikido students in the UK. Their suit comes with a white belt included (delivery time is between 4 and 14 days):

Decathlon also supplies suits but you must buy the white belt separately from them. They suggest delivery can occur within 2 days. Pick up is also available however they are not always in stock. It may be best to phone first:

There are many brands available on Amazon and Ebay that may provide an even faster delivery. Search for Judo Suit or Aikido suit. Check if the white belt is sold separately.
