dressing kungfu
how many of you ever walked around with a chinese suit on?, you know the jacket with the frog buttons. just curious because Ive seen some cool looking ones and im thinking of wearing one although i dont know what others reactions will be. i go to college so no one would probably care anyway but i think most people might think im all that and want to kick my but or something but i just like the fashion.

Sometimes I wear a nice Chinese style shirt if I go out for a nice dinner somewhere. I've also worn them to college on occasion. I didn't get much in the way of looks or anything. I've got a few nice ones, so I don't see the point in not wearing themOriginally posted by jbmmaster

that was zen, this is tao
I just have a couple for special occasions and Chinese New Year. Can't find any Qing dynasty ("Wong Fei Hong") robes.
WUTANG is 4 the CHILDREN!
I wear a flowing saffron robe and shaved head with incence burn spots to job interviews.
Just kidding! I actually go nude except for a bearskin cloak and a pair of double-headed bearded battleaxes.

When I were in China, a really stupid moron from some club bought a chinese blouse for females
All right now, son, I want you to get a good night's rest. And remember, I could murder you while you sleep.
Hey son, I bought you a puppy today after work. But then I killed it and ate it! Hahah, I´m just kidding. I would never buy you a puppy.

I saw an interview a few years ago about a leading (Chinese) Hong Kong businessman who still wore traditional dress, and he was saying how the press ridiculed him about it.
It makes me wonder if there's some college student in China going to school dressed as a puritan.

every so often a co-worker or associate will travel to asia. If I'm lucky they'll come back with a "traditional" style shirt... I've got a few, even a Wong Fei Hung looking one... I dig 'em.

i have a brown 'kung fu' shirt/jacket...i just wear it open with a shirt or t-shirt underneath with jeans and Timbs...u gotta rock it correct and it looks fine. Just don't walk around lookin like Kung Fu Kenny expecting not to be ridiculed to death. Especially if you ain't Asian.

Strangely, my job requires that I occasionally dress so. In fact, this is the second job that has required it. I don't dress that way casually since it is my work clothes sometimes. It's like wearing a McDonalds hat when not flipping burgers for the clown. OK, it's not thaaat bad, but I do tend to avoid it, even though it is what many of my non-martial arts associates seem to expect of me.

I'm gonna go see some nice traditional Chinese clothes this weekend, but I'll most likely wear them only at home. However, it would be interesting to wear them at school too, but honestly I don't what people would think - not that I care or anything, but I guess it would be a bit odd from the other students' point of view. Heh.

I used to wear my old kungfu uniforms as pajamas. Comfy. I fugre that the only people who get to work in their pajamas in public are me and Hugh Hefner. These are particular comfy, once they break in... http://store.yahoo.com/martialartsma...dex-11-19.html
