Does anyone own the Official SKIF gi?

It looks like this

I'd like to get a snap shot of the kanji on the chest.

TIA

I'd like to but I can't see paying 150-200 dollars on a gi, when I can get a 100% cotton 12 or 14 oz gi for $75.

Forgive me if I misunderstand what you are asking for, but the Kanji seems to be the same as the Kanji at the top right off the web page.

If you're just trying to see it more clearly that should help?....

A $150-250 dogi has a lot more quality over a $75 dogi. In my experience it is worth it buying an Isami, Kyoku-sen, tokaido, shureido, toyo, etc. However, I prefer Isami and Kyoku-sen 'full contact' karate dogi over the latter brands I mentioned now.

I can get 2-3 years use, if not more out of an $150+ dogi. I think a kyoku-sen will run you about $150 with shipping from Singapore with kanji and katakana name embroidery right now, too. You email directly with the owner of the company, too.

It seems obvious to me that the OP wants a close-up of the dogi so that he can buy a $75 gi, and then embroider the kanji on it....thereby saving money.

In my view, that is "Karate Rice"... like import cars that put wings and fart pipes on their cars.

Spend the money on a bad-butt gi that costs too much... or buy the cheap gi; don't try to create a knock-off...

Dragon associates offers meijin uniforms for under a hundred dollars, and you can have custom embroidery as well as fabricated ones. I order all my ghi's from them, and have been doing so for years, although, I don't necessarily need a new ghi every year, I buy one, if not one for me for friends or students to keep them with business.
