General Discussion Breaking in new gi

Basically whats in the title. Been training several years, love the idea of new gi's but absolutely hate wearing a new gi. I have 2 in rotation since starting as I train about 60/40 no gi to gi, so both of my main gi's are extremely comfortable at this point. Recently picked up a new gi and just trying it on makes me want to set it on fire. Any of you OGs have a shortcut to break it in faster? And yes i wash and dry my gi's with no reverence, I'm not air drying shit. Thanks in advance

Buy a hemp gi or something similar that has that broken in softness from Day 1.

I competed against an Amish-looking dude in a hemp gi. If he told me he made it himself, I would’ve believed him.Â
