I wear a KarateGi with that has the usual, fold over drawstrings that sometimes untie during training. That really bugs me especially since I'm rather scrawny and my belt will sometimes hang loose - causing my uniform to go into chaos when doing stuff like jumping jacks. I'm looking forward to my membership at a TKD club - V-Necks, baby! No more drawstrings! :karate:

 

That's the downside of training in a Japanese martial art - the style of gi!! I'd much prefer it I we could wear V-neck tops instead of the traditional tie ones.

I'm not sure if I know what the fold over drawstring gi is like.

 

I'm preety sure my gi is considered a v-neck. It doesn't have a tie string. Somtimes if my belt isn't done up tight enough my gi opens up. Our gi's are 3/4 length sleeves. My pants are a drawstring which I prefer over the elasticized waist.

I never wore v-neck tops. Always wore traditional gis from mikado.

Hi Natural is back, I wear medium weight Gi made by Karate people from the world.

I am a karate master, the way of balance, and the way of invisibility.

The thing I don't like about the V-necks is the inability to pull away from a lapel grab during sparring. At least with the cross tie jacket, you can pull away easier w/o the worrying about ripping your gi top.

Aye, there is that but at least the V-necks don't tend to flap open at inconvenient moments (which can be embarassing if you're a woman).
