Actually I dont get why a bruiser in his right mind would even want a gi. Gi´s are for monks and dont really even look like a gi should. The gi´s in EQ2 look like crap. Too ugly to even consider wearing. Especially if an iksar wears gi it looks ridicilous, like a [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn] [Removed for Content].
The gi´s should look like karate or jiu jutsu gi´s look like in real life, not the ballerina-looking uniforms they look like in-game.
Just my opinion =)

There are currently two "styles" of Gi. The ugly, mexican wrestler, just missing a latex mask, style... and the bare chest and shoulder style.
The second one looks pretty good. They have a couple variants... one with puffed out pants, and the forearm right up to the elbow covered... another with tighter pants with just the wrists covered. Both have shoulders and chest bare (well, the women get some [Removed for Content] coverage).
Honestly, I think variants to those would make decent Gi. I might even entertain some kind of wraps-type look (either cloth wraps style for the monk, or leather bands for the bruiser, etc).
The wrestler look has to go. Might not be quite as bad on the females.. but on males, that chestpiece is just ridiculous.
Btw.. while on the subject of armor art... what about Mankind's leather mask as inspiration for a Bruiser specific helmet? Closest thing I can think of to the "Bruiser" concept without going into actual leather helmet or gladiator metal helmet looks. I'm pretty much through with skullcap look... but a leather strap mask?
Yeah, yeah.. kinda "[Removed for Content]", zipper mouth-ish... but Mankind seemed to pull it off. And if anyone is a bruiser, it's him and his Mandible Claw.
