Does anyone know a good source to find a long robe/cheongsam for men? I found one at asianideas.com, but does anyone know if they're any good? Or where else can I get an "authentic" long robe?

Thanks for the response (although mysteriously vague). These are more expensive, but are they better or just over priced? I've encountered the most bad online shopping experiences since i started buying from martial arts supplies stores. I'm trying to avoid the rip off/knock off/flea market/swanky online market place stores. I was just recently screwed by Wing Lam Enterprises.
I don't see how it's vague, but whatever. You're welcome.

Why not just wear a dress?
Explain that, ZhuiQuan, please.I was just recently screwed by Wing Lam Enterprises.

Never had enough nerves to buy one and wear it but if you do buy one let me know the quality. I'm having second thoughts now that I'm older and dumber.

sorry to sidetrack but gene i ordered from wing lam about 8 years ago so i probably ordered when you were in charge and i must admit they were the only place online you could get really good rarer books from the east, i was always happy with them, until i managed to buy 1 of each of the books they were offering

I ordered "feiyue" shoes and a xiangqi set. The shoes were nothing like the feiyue's I have now. The soles were hard and flat, not soft and flexible. The fit was different too. I'm assuming they were knockoffs. Unless any company can use the phrase "feiyue". The chess set cost about $18, it was very cheaply made, the wood was very airy and brittle, the characters were sloppy, the ink was bleeding and the top layer of the board was already separating from the bottom. When I bought from Wing Lam I felt like I bought stuff from some trashy knick-knack store. That was just my experience.Originally Posted by GeneChing
Keep in mind that nothing looks tackier than a gwai lo in a 17th century scholars robe from China.
It looks even worse if you have a mullet.
Kung Fu is good for you.
here is a link of a company that responds very fast with great pricing and good chinese clothing

yes i have bought from these guys several items
Eh... could've swore I typed in a web address.
Well if you're not too keen on the mail order, you can always roll down to Mott Street in Chinatown to Bok Lei Po to buy hands on. If they don't have them, I'm sure they can direct you to somebody who does or maybe even a tailor who will hook you up something hand made... for the right price.

I addressed the issue of feiyue knockoffs in the infomercial I did on it a while ago. Knock offs are a huge problem in Chinese products, of course. I can't comment on the chessboards since that product came in after my watch was over. As for the books, I was really into bookbuying for a while - my wife worked for Sierra Club books, so I went to ABA a lot back then. Anyway, thanks for the comments.
I've been trying to develop a nice 'fighting' cheongsam for a while here - it's a backburner project, but I would be interested in any comments about what works and what doesn't for those of you who've actually used them for training. I've already made a note: no mullets.
