How to measure Karate Uniform
Karate Uniform is usually average height for weight proportions, so always choose the most extensive measurement to make a perfect fit. In other words, if you are thin, choose your uniform that fits your height rather than width. And you have a thick build, then choose a uniform that matches your width rather than your height. Then, to get the right fit, you can email your height and waist at StarPro Combat gear.

At the same time, the pants come with the strength of seam that will minimize the fear of tearing. Angles of pants are more significant as it is used in performing kicks, stances, stretching, and various training activities. The pants waist is secured with a traditional tie strap, while the most contemporary style is the elastic waist, which you can check even in Starpro Karate Gi
Right Fabric Type and Weight
Generally, karate Gi comes in two types of fabric, 100% Cotton or cotton/polyester, usually a blend of 55% Cotton and 45% Polyester. 100% Cotton comes with high-quality medium and heavyweight uniforms. But as we have mentioned earlier, these will shrink if not appropriately handled. Therefore, we do not recommend this training uniform, but just occasionally as for competitions.
Cotton/Polyester Blend usually make light and medium weight uniforms, which are less expensive. Moreover, these uniforms are great for everyday training and relatively better for kids.
