Some customers have experienced a little trouble at first with the buttons. When you first receive the uniform the material can be quite stiff simply from the newness and packaging. The cloth tabs can feel tight when trying to slip them through the opposing loops. After a few uses and washes though this will loosen up for you and feel great.

If you are on the fence about size, you can probably order safely a size smaller than you might think you need. For example, I am 5'10" and 150 and I can comfortably fit in both medium and large.  Permalink

The matarial on this suit is like no other and is super light.It is perfect for kung fu ovisly.I highly recomend this suit even if u dont do marial arts it is so comfurtable!!!   Permalink

My 1 star rating is not for the uniform; it is for the sizing chart for this uniform.

I purchased the 100% cotton Kung Fu uniform based upon all of the wonderful reviews it received. It appeared to be the best bang for my buck. Unfortunately, I discovered that everything that I received was too small. I have an athletic build (played college basketball) so I paid close attention to the sizing charts. I was certain that it wouldn't be an issue, however now I'm stuck with the dilemma of paying to send the uniform back in order to get a larger size that just may be too small as well. My situation may be the exception to the norm, but if anyone is built a little bigger and longer than the average Kung Fu practicioner, then you may want to speak with customer service prior to ordering. I guess the only full proof way would be to have my uniform custom made. Other than not fitting me, the suit appear to be exactly what I expected.

I am pleased with the uniform that I received. When I first put it on, I noticed that the uniform seemed bigger than the sizing chart led me to believe and was more stiff than preferable. Also, there was an odd smell and the neck was tighter than I would have preferred. Running the uniform through the laundry with my karate gis eliminated most of the problems. The smell was just from packing, and washing the uniform in warm water (even though it says to wash cold) and then putting it in the dryer for a full cycle (even though it says to drip dry) made the fit excellent. Just be sure to wash and dry all of the uniform in the same load, especially if there is an extra collar. That way, the amount of shrinking is consistent. Also, all of the stiffness disappeared. the neck stayed tight at first, but it does loosen up with use. If it seems too tight to the point that it is causing you discomfort, I would suggest practicing in your uniform without the inner collar until the neckline of the uniform loosens. Other than that, an excellent uniform and an excellent buy.  Permalink

This is good uniform, it took 4 weeks to get here but it was worth it! and who could argue with $2.95 shipping, there are some things wrong in the description of the uniform, first there are 2 pockets inside the jacket and the pants dont have cuff ankles they have ankle ties, it may just be mine though, i wouldnt recomend the shoes at all though to practice in they fall off way to easy.

Looks sharp, nice quality, and a great price. It arrived only 4 days after ordering. If this is the product that you're looking for, there is no reason not to purchase it from this store.  Permalink

I just received my uniform and I was highly impressed. It is well made of very nice cotton and the tailoring is very impressive. I have not wore it yet but I know that my Sifu will be impressed as well.   Permalink

Hi im 5'6 5'7, I weigh 132 pounds what size should I get? I want a black button with white cuffs like IP Mans Suit, get back to me as fast as possible thanks!  Permalink

Disappointing. The pants are huge, while the top is quite narrow. The cotton material is stiff like cardboard, even after numerous washings. Very uncomfortable and impractical for martial arts work.  Permalink

Received in 7 days. I'm 5'11" 208 lbs. 46' chest. X-large fits fine. I washed it cold water & dried on med-low heat. Next to no shrinkage if any. I figured if it shrunk to much I'd sell it & get a larger one. Nice Uniform for the money.

These uniforms are a great value for the price, with one caveat. The frogs (buttons) have been a problem on several of the uniforms I've ordered. Some have been too loose and won't remain fastened, while others are so tight they have to be forced through the eyelet. That said, you'll be hard pressed to find a more durable uniform at any price.  Permalink

The uniform was extremely comfortable and a very nice value (especially at the price). If washed carefully, I would say it should last you for many years to come. It responds well outside of my hot, humid Houston home in many of the training sessions I go through. You can literally put these clothes to the test and it will never fail to surprise.

My honest 2 cents and the very first review I have ever written on this website.  Permalink

This uniform is top notch all the way. I have six uniforms all with black buttons. This particular one has white buttons, collar and inside sleeves. I use this one as a ceremonial or dress up suit for making public appearances in front of other masters or when trying out for belt promotion. The pants are double gusset and have an excellent sock tube like device sewn in on the bottom of the cuff. Keeps everything really neat. Only caveat is there is no included sash. Other uniforms usually come with a black cotton one. This one does not. However, this is superior material, looks great during katas.  Permalink

These uniforms are a great value for the money. My only problem is that there's been some minor issues with the frogs staying closed. I contacted Karate Depot about this and got an immediate response. The uniforms are good; their customer service is awesome!  Permalink
