Chaz Posted March 10, 2005 Posted March 10, 2005 Does anyone know of a place I can get a Bruce Lee Line of martial arts clothing. I am 5'7 1/2" tall and weigh 135 lbs. and my extra weight is made of mostly muscle in my mid-section. I have the same structure as the legend himself and I'm thankful for it, but I can never find a Gi that is comfortable and that fits me correctly. If I could find a Bruce Line of clothing I'd be in heaven... Anyone? "One of the lessons of history is that nothing is often a good thing to do and always a clever thing to say." - Will Durant

Shorinryu Sensei Posted March 21, 2005 Posted March 21, 2005 Does anyone know of a place I can get a Bruce Lee Line of martial arts clothing.

I have the same structure as the legend himself and I'm thankful for it, but I can never find a Gi that is comfortable and that fits me correctly. If I could find a Bruce Line of clothing I'd be in heaven... Anyone? You want to wear the same sort of clothing Bruce Lee did? Check the retro shops....ask them for anything gaudy from the late 1960's and early 1970's. Think Austin Powers style...that's about it. Heck, I know a guy that still has all that stuff in his closet...bell bottoms, flowing sleeves with flowers on them, wide lapels on the jackets...your origional platform shoes. I'll see if he wants to sell it. Retro stuff is pretty spendy though I think, plus shipping it to the UK. My nightly prayer..."Please, just let me win that PowerBall Jackpot just once. I'll prove to you that it won't change me!"
aefibird Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 Do you mean an official line of Bruce Lee clothing, or just stuff that is similar to what he wore? "Was it really worth it? Only time and death may ever tell..." The Beautiful South - The Rose of My CologneSheffield Steelers!

Chaz Posted March 22, 2005 Author Posted March 22, 2005 Do you mean an official line of Bruce Lee clothing, or just stuff that is similar to what he wore?I would prefer a line of clothing... I've tried stuff that looked like it, but it just wasn't the same. I think I just need to get a custom made GI. Thats probably what Bruce wore...

CQC Posted April 2, 2005 Posted April 2, 2005 Yeah, you'll probably have to get something customized if you can't seem to find it anywhere.In the meantime you can always check out some Kung Fu shops for training styled clothing - if you haven't already. There's some great quality stuff out there, and they're usually not over priced at all. Hope this helps. "Beware the fury of a patient man."- John Dryden
Mr. Mike Posted April 2, 2005 Posted April 2, 2005 I just bought a black frog button outfit like the one that Mr. Lee wore in most films...you can buy them at most martial arts suppliers and some asian stores. I got mine at https://www.asianideas.com for $29. As for the yellow suit, I saw one somewhere and thought it would be cool to have, but not for me...I am 6'1" and go about 280...not the same effect. I think that suit was just a generic excercise suit from that era...try ebay maybe?
