karate gi

[C.H.O.A.M.]

don't tell me I have to learn how to sew!!!
I was thinking of using a lab coat for the top and... not sure about the pants.
maybe there's a repro aj karate gi out there? something white or easily made red for my upcoming Shang Chi.

As someone who has been into the martial arts for over 20 years, a karate gi is different from what Shang Chi wears which is a kung f u outfit. A karate gi pants are shorter ( stopping at the calf ) while kung f u pants are full length, the sleeves are shorter on a gi also. Also a kung f u outfit would be made of silk, a material that looks smooth and shiny.

Looking forward to seeing your Shang Chi.

D'oh!
I guess the title "master of kung fu" wasn't clear enough for me!
that's good to know
