In the dojang I wear a middle or heavy weight gi. When practicing outside of class I wear black middle weight gi pants and a t-shirt or sweat shirt. The gi material is tough and I don't wants to get blood on my street clothes. As far as it not being what I wear on the street I wear so many different styles of clothes depending upon my client. Lately it's jeans, next week it could be my Brooks Brothers suit and wing tips. I will try a few kicks and punches just to remember where something may restrict me and to get used to the grip of the shoes.
Sometimes Westerners are funny about wanting to look the part of the "Asian warrior", more so than the Asians.

Dam nit... it made sense when it was running through my head.
