A. Order 5 uniforms or more of any mix of Meijin uniforms and you will receive a discount of around 25% and still qualify for complimentary embroidery

A.When you buy a new Meijin uniform we will embroider either a recognized style name on the left chest or translate your last name and embroider it on the lower lapel.

We did, but we also had a lot of help from you, our customers! We incorporated your suggestions into the design, worked with the best mills to produce our special cotton canvas, and instituted a testing program using top karate instructors to test Meijin on a regular basis. It was worth it!

A: We go to extreme lengths to maintain the quality of our products, and therefore our reputation. The cloth we use is woven to our specification from 100% pure cotton. It is made exclusively for our uniforms and not produced for camping equipment and back packs. We use the best threads to optimize the strength and durability of Meijin products, and hand-inspect every item before it shipped. We have been known in the past to return complete shipments to the factory that did not meet our standards. Suppliers therefore take us very seriously!

A: You can expect to pay up to double for a comparable uniform, BEFORE you add the cost of our custom embroidery. Our prices are more than reasonable, and we also offer dojo discounts for five or more uniforms, INCLUDING FREE JAPANESE EMBROIDERY.

The very best method is to wash your uniform in cold water using a good quality detergent and hang it to dry. This will minimize shrinkage, keep it comfortable and maximize its life. You can safely iron your uniform but embroidery should have a thin cloth placed over it before it is ironed to protect the design. On the subject of embroidery, if you do decide to use bleach when you wash, be aware that this can, over the long term, cause fading of the embroidery.

In regular uniforms, four thick seams overlap in the jacket armpit, eight double layers of heavy canvas plus sewing, to make a hard and inflexible lump which can be very uncomfortable, and even cause bleeding during repetitive punching practice. In Meijin uniforms this has been replaced by a skillfully sewn gusset in order to eliminate the problem completely. The Meijin design allows more room in the chest without the uniform looking baggy, and greater freedom of the arms. The ventilation holes increase overall comfort and they are embroidered to prevent them fraying even after many, many washes.

It’s actually very simple. All five of the uniforms we currently offer, Dojo, Tropical, Champ, PRO and PREMIUM BLACK are identical in cut and size. The difference is in the weight and quality of the cloth they are made of. If a size 5 Tropical fits you, so will a size 5 PRO!

A: Traditional, wholly traditional, and nothing but traditional! Sleeves and pants are full length. The jacket lets you move freely as do the straight cut pants which also have a tailored crotch gusset for extra comfort. If you like the sleeves and pants shorter, they can easily be altered. Meijin manufacture karate uniforms for serious training. Uniforms you can rely on, and be proud to wear.
