It's a southern style kung fu uniform.

Hemp is beige-ish...
Oh hey, that's kinda...well, I woudln't wear one, unless I was a shaolin in study with a monk who made me wear it. lol
Gene FTW. Thanks!
I cannot picture you in this kf top Oso.
lol, no. wasn't for me to wear. it came up in a WoW related conversation... ... ...
well, the first time i saw anyone in one they were wayyyy to serious about wearing it. :)
There's no silk on a Shaolin vest - only hemp and cotton.
I know a lot of people bash kung fu PJs around here, but honestly we spar so much that I would go through regular shirts and clothes way too much to make Kung Fu training financially feasible. We've fallen into using those mandarin zipper 3/4 sleeve tops because they're sturdy as heck.
Jonie 3/4 sleeve
sorry gene :o
anyways, I used these for my schools demo/tournament top...
ftr, over Tiger Claw's kung fu pant which think IS the best pant. Light, and they wear to a nice soft light black color. no ass kissing, just the truth. and i never had a pair fail in sparring, and i'm a big guy. I still have 3 pair.
but, back to the Jonie tops: the poly/cotton blend is strong, the seams are strong and I thought that they would possibly hold up well in sparring.
but, I also think just put a t-shirt on, or a rash guard for no snagging (better).
