[HelloKitty]

You have a great store called Lang Son Traders in Arlington Texas on Abrams street and then there is always Tekno out in Wautagua and there J-3 is probaly the best as far as comfort goes. lLet me know if I can help I'm in Arlington myself.

Thanks a lot for the info! ^^

Do u know if those stores sell bigger sizes? Because I've been looking in internet for Mooto, Adidas, etc but they always offer just sizes 4, 5 and 6, and my husband is 7.

If he can use an 8, there are Size 8 Adidas Champion doboks here for 13 bucks! Worth breaking out the sewing kit for maybe :lol:

That sure is a great buy.

Yes, a good price. Surely someone knows of a size 8 guy?

You obviously have never seen me throw.

Anyway, I have some questions:

When did Kukkiwon first come up with the V-neck, pullover dobaks?

About how long was it before most schools of KKW-certified instructors had switched from the crossover (bathrobe/kimono-style) dobaks?

Does anyone else get a little irritated when people insist that "dobak" refers specifically to the V-neck-style uniform, rather than simply to any martial arts uniform?

Is there anyone who makes a heavyweight, all-cotton, white-lapelled V-neck dobak? (Would be great for forms and demos [but suck for sparring]. Nice, loud snap. However, everything I've found is either medium-weight at best or is a polyester blend.)

Anyone ever tried attaching patches with Velcro? I would love to
be able to bleach a uniform, but patches can't handle it.

Hi Dan:

I did notice if anyone answered your first question. The v-neck dobok was adopted by the Kukkiwon in 1978.

I've not found that dobok is exclusive to the v-neck. Perhaps your instructor does feel this way, however.

I wish there was a way to take patches off for a good cleaning. Unfortuneatly (sp?) bleach is not a good substance for most doboks. It tends to ruin the material. In my experience, dry bleach works well.

Another vote for Adidas - they make a good uniform...

Hi, everyone! I'm posting from Brazil and in December I'll will be travelling to the USA as a tourist. But I want to buy a Adidas uniform when I'm there because the prices are much cheaper than in here. So, I'd appreciate a lot if anyone could tell me where can I find a store in New York or Miami that sells these uniforms.

Thank you all.

Welcome if you come to Texas I have them. Maybe you should go to the meet and greet section and introduce yourself.
