iron duckee Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 does anyone know of an internet vendor that sells good, quality white kung fu uniforms? preferably of all cotton material or a 50/50 blend. i've googled around and found a few vendors. but i'm a bit reluctant to order from any of them. so i figured i'd ask around and see if anyone here might own a quality pair and know of where to purchase one. here's a few of the vendors i've found; and hopefully someone might have good experience with them : http://www.bltsupplies.com/sunifkf.html http://solidfitness.com/martialarts/kungfu.htm http://sdksupplies.netfirms.com/cat_karateuniforms.htm http://www.maols.com/id68.htm p.s. trivial note -- you would think there would be many more white kung fu uniforms, but the vast majority sell black only. anyways, appreciate it if anyone could help.
Chaz Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 I do own a 100% cotton interloop I got from BLT, I think thats what the company's name is, but I wouldn't recommend it. They're majorly hot when working out and they have interesting (as in bad) proportions...Sorry, I'd like to know too where I could get a good one...The one good thing though is I loved the pants, they're pretty nice, if you like high cuffs.

ovine king Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 you won't find many white chinese uniforms because white is the colour for funerals. earth is the asylum of the universe where the inmates have taken over.don't ask stupid questions and you won't get stupid answers.
iron duckee Posted March 1, 2005 Author Posted March 1, 2005 you won't find many white chinese uniforms because white is the colour for funerals. yah, you're right. how could i forget. gee, i am so americanize now.
nanfeishen Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 Find a picture of the uniform you want, find a good taylor or dressmaker, and get one made to fit, may work out less cost effective, and easier. Without long practice one cannot suddenly understand Tai Chi : - Tai Chi Classics
Chaz Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 That would be really nice just because of the fact that it's custom, and it would fit amazing! That would be good for me because my physic is a little strange...I'm a less muscular Bruce Lee; Long legs, High waist, short torso. So bying pants and a top doesn't usually work in my favor...

Mr. Mike Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 I jsut picked up a set from https://www.asianideas.com and they were delivered in short time and looking very nice...oh yeah, the uniform only cost me $28.

iron duckee Posted March 2, 2005 Author Posted March 2, 2005 I jsut picked up a set from https://www.asianideas.com and they were delivered in short time and looking very nice...oh yeah, the uniform only cost me $28. those actually look pretty nice. but seeing that it's made of a light-weight (cotton) material, i'm not sure if it would be good to work out in. we do a lot of grabbing and grappling. so mike, can you tell if it's a material that can be worked out with? also, in the picture, the suit looks a bit shiny and reflective. is it like that seeing it in person?
Mr. Mike Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 I would definitely NOT wrok out in these...they are a very light cotton. I mostly bought them to use as pajamas ans my sojn oves them...he thinks he's Bruce Lee, and of course Mr. Lee wore thos ein the classic films, so...

ovine king Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 the only people that i know of who train/perform in the traditional chinese outfit are wushu guys. all other places i've been to suggest (not insist on) the normal black kung fu trousers (with the extra panel/patch between the legs for 'room to move) but anything that we feel comfortable moving in would be fine. earth is the asylum of the universe where the inmates have taken over.don't ask stupid questions and you won't get stupid answers.
