    Default Uniforms for fast growers

    I'm sure others have had to go through this.

    Is there a martial arts uniform reseller with uniforms for rapidly growing teens? Perhaps a nicely priced pant with a long leg than can be hemmed?

    My son's pants are way to short, but if we go bigger in size, the waist looks ridicules. He's about 5'7" now, but skinny.

    Thanks for any suggestions.

    My son is 6'5" and we had to both hem his pants and take them up at the waist band.

    We originally went with an off-brand found here locally, but the pant did not hold up well at all. We finally went and purchased Century medium weight and they have held up really well through all of the tailoring,

    Geeze, that was only a few years ago (4?) and you two were so young. You were just getting back from a serious wrestling injury, and Ed had not even started wrestling yet. Ahhh, I feel old! I still have that nice dobak though (J3).

    Polyurethane Spandex Keikogi or Synthetic Fiber Dobahk ? Shureido will fold if Speedo gets a hold of this idea ! D
