Hot uniform to wear in humid areas but if just have to have Tokaido on the label purchase it here and save $30 or $40 and feel confident that you have the backing of an honest seller.

I had a VERY bad experience with brand new Tokaido (NOT PURCHASED HERE BTW!!!) pants and I will never purchase Tokaido again NOR will I ever purchase ANYTHING from the store I purchased it from (hint: I have a Japanese Motorcycle with the same as the store name sitting in my garage).

That said I gave the uniform top away to one of my students who needed a new top and he is still using the Tokaido top after nearly a decade!

I have a couple of Pine Tree SuperHVYweight "GrandMaster" M-I-S. Korea Karate uniforms that I bought for 1/3 the $$$ that are every bit as good as the benchmark Tokaido brand MIJ uniforms and are still going strong after 10yrs of use.

Be aware that after a decade of use the Pine Tree gis shrink and you may have to purchase a new larger sized gi. Has be the premium cotton used in the Pine Tree gis that shrinks;-)
