Tai Chi Uniform

[sicko]

Hello,
I'm looking arround to find some relatively cheap 100% cotton Tai Chi uniforms.
I would need arround 6 of them of different size.
Could you tell me some reliable websites, where I can be sure to get good quality?

Thank you

Two things...

Define "cheap". There's vast differences.

Define "Tai Chi uniform". When I was studying Chen, I was normally in a tshirt & loose pants.

Cheap = up to 40€ / piece
Tai Chi uniform = .... We practice chen style. Something like this :
Color:= Black / White

Thank you for now, some alternatives would be nice aswell, as these are 50€.
Also, I'm very bad with materials, I would like to get suggestions from your personal experience.
Thank you

For me, personal experience begins & ends with Jonie. I've tried a few other mfgs, but I always regret it & get what I want, how I want, when I want from Jonie.

Yeah, that is about it for me too, Yang, Chen and a dash of Northern Wu...all basically street clothes (Bagua, Xingyi, Wing Chun and Changquan too)

Thank you guys, I guess I'll try from Jonie then, if you two have experience there.

I have no experience with Jonie at all but I would go with Sean's recommendation if I were in the market

There is a big expence I didn't count on... shipping to EU. 128$ damn

*ouch*

Need to get a couple of more people together so that cost can be spread out amongst you.

Although I know nothing about these companies, they are a little closer to you in the EU and maybe the price plus shipping would be cheaper

Also if you post this question in the General Martial Arts forum you may get a few more suggestions in the EU since a few of the posters on MT are from the EU

Thank you Xue Sheng.

The link to www.playwell.com is very usefull. The uniforms are really cheap and the shipping is low in EU.
I think we will try those

I've used Playwell before and never had any problems with them.

Very best wishes

That's because the "Tai Chi/Kung Fu uniform" as it's known today was really just the jeans and t-shirt of the past. Much like the gi was the under-armor garment of the Samurai class.
