quinteros1963 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 My wife thinks i'm crazy, but after many years of training I decided I wanted a nice uniform. Now that I have a few: 14 oz Bushido and 12 oz Meijen Pro. I want a silk belt. Can any of you share what brand you have/suggest and whats embroidered on it? I want Shotokan Karate-do in kanj on the left. Unsure of my name or blank on the right. So far I've looked at Hirota and Arawaza. The past is no more; the future is yet to come. Nothing exist except for the here and now. Our grand business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what's clearly is clearly at hand...Lets continue to train!

Harkon72 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Real silk belts are expensive, they are worth it because the best ones don't fray and they hold their shape. I had a satin belt, the thread didn't hold and the belt became discoloured after a while. It is worth the effort to find a good one because the material is softer and the quality makes a big difference. Good Luck. Look to the far mountain and see all.

quinteros1963 Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 Its a Xmas gift so $$ is not an issue as long as it no more that the 100 dollars set aside (lol) . My other belt is 5 years old and came with a gi I bought well before I was a shodan. The past is no more; the future is yet to come. Nothing exist except for the here and now.

IcemanSK Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Look at EosinPanther.com for great belts. They're not cheap, but they're beautiful and they will make sure you get what you want.

chiliphil1 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I'm surprised it has not been mentioned yet, but if you say you want a good one only two come to mind. Tokaido and shuriedo, made in Japan and Okinawa respectively, second to none. Pricing will be right around your budget, maybe a bit over but these are the best in the world, period.
