Meijin TROPICAL Uniforms -
When the going gets tough, we have the solution for as little as $24!

By adhering to traditional values while utilising the very latest in modern computer driven textile technology, Meijin has succeeded in producing the
new Tropical model, a 9 oz, traditionally cut 100% cotton karate uniform that represents the ultimate blend of high performance, comfort, and value.

In keeping with Meijin’s policy of standardization across their entire range of products, the design (including ventilated underarm gussets), fit, and size, of the Tropical uniform is the same as the Meijin Pro and Champ brands. The canvas comes from the same mill, and is sewn in the same factory under identical quality control protocols.

If you are looking for a low cost, high quality, lighter weight uniform made to the same exacting standards as Meijin PRO and CHAMP brands, or simply something more comfortable to train in when you need to combat high temperatures, high humidity, and excessive perspiration, you now have the answer.

The Tropical karate uniform by Meijin. Offering exceptional value, Meijin Tropical sells for $39 in adult sizes 3–8, and $29 for sizes 00–2 Purchases of 5 or more uniforms (mixed sizes OK!) reduces the price to $34 and $24 respectively. Uniforms
include a white belt if requested and
free Japanese embroidery (up to a value of $15.00).

Uniform Sizes
IMPORTANT

If you have owned other premium high quality uniforms, you will find that Meijin sizes are almost identical. If you are upgrading from a lower quality uniform, sizes can vary widely from brand to brand so please check the Meijin chart or call our order desk toll free (1 800 717 6288) with your height, weight, chest, and waist measurements plus your inseam size.
To be absolutely sure, we can ship you an unembroidered uniform to try which you can return to us within 30 days for free embroidery. This costs a little extra as there is a $10 return charge but you will have a uniform that fits you perfectly, and the embroidery is still FREE!
PLEASE NOTE: We cannot accept custom embroidered uniforms for exchanges or refunds under any circumstances.

How About a Custom Embroidered belt!
We carry traditionally made (sewn) belts in sizes 1.5" & 1.75" wide and many, many colors. We can embroider your name and style, almost anything in fact, and we embroider right through the belt so no stitching obscures the design. We sew with "gyosho" style Japanese calligraphy which is very beautiful and unique to our company. Embroidered belts start at around $20.

Tenugui, literally "hand wipe", were first produced during the Edo Era (1603-1868) and was soon regarded as one of the seven essential items for travelers. As a towel it was light and easy to carry, soft on the skin, and being woven without seams, dried easily in the humid Japanese climate. It could also be used to bind wounds, repair the straw sandals commonly worn at that time, and for a dozen other purposes that made it indispensable.

In martial arts dojos it was worn around the forehead to prevent sweat running into the eyes, under the fencing mask for comfort and additional protection, and through the sash at the waist as an ever present aid to keeping the hands dry in order to secure a firm grip on a weapon. A well worn and much washed tenugui was the mark of a serious student who had trained hard, and was therefore highly valued.

Our tenugui are made especially for our company from Japanese cotton gauze called Oka momen that is normally used for cotton kimono or yukata, and is therefore of much higher quality and slightly wider then that normally used for this purpose. Unlike the commercially screen printed variety, these are dyed in the traditional manner so the color penetrates the fabric completely, making it legible from both sides and ensuring that it takes on just the right look after repeated use and washing.

Collectors' edition tenugui dyed in black and red (seal) on white gauze 13.5" X 35" can be used for its original purpose, or framed as a unique decoration for the home or dojo.
