|
|
Does anyone know anywhere in the UK that sells gi pants without the jackets, preferably to buy on line.
Because they have ripped/shrunk etc I have ended up with 3 jackets where I have no pants to go with them.
I want traditional style white karate pants in medium to heavy canvas.
Okay you can tell me I'm tight-fisted but I hate keep having to buy whole new gis when I have perfectly good gi tops. |

Thanks, that's great. I'd like to find a UK supplier though by preference if possible, so the postage isn't so much. |

I tend to buy gi pants one size too large, and then have them hemmed. So much more comfortable and the knee padding ends up slightly lower on the leg... far better than the default placement, as your pants tend to ride-up when grappling.
And, of course... there's always shrinkage. ![](images/smiles/icon_lol.gif) _________________ "When you are able to take the keys from my hand, you will be ready to drive." - Shaolin DMV Test

I was winding up with more tops than pants too. I am glad I am not the only one. |

On this note, i often find gi pants and shirts sold seperately at second-hand stores. Obviously, check for condition... but a great deal can be found occasionally. _________________ "When you are able to take the keys from my hand, you will be ready to drive." - Shaolin DMV Test

I've just ordered myself a pair from playwell.co.uk.
Thanks everyone. And as for 'shrinkage' well I can't help it if they design gis for teenage boys with matchstick thin legs . I've ordered a larger pair too, I hate going hitch, kick all the time. |
