    karate gi

    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
