**EDIT** NOW AVAILABLE! www.e-bogu.com/product-p/usm-kar-uni-fullcon-white-all.htmMilkmanX has brought this up but figured I would to also let you all know some verified information. Before I begin, here in the USA, there is no full contact karate dogi that ships within the USA. What this means is that no matter what, the shipping costs a bit for those of us in the USA. Full contact cut karate dogi typically consists of 3/4th sleeves on dogi top and baggier pants/trousers. With all of that being said I received confirmation from E-bogu.com today on what MilkManX has already brought up and some "icing on the cake." In a few months e-bogu will be offering a full contact cut karate dogi and they will also be offering Kyokushin kanji embroidery and name embroidery if you wish. I have no idea what the price on the dogi without the embroidery is going to be but I will say this, e-bogu has very good prices compared to anybody else online I have visited. The MA uniforms they do carry are reasonably priced for the quality. I wouldn't be surprised if they would also do the Enshin embroidery  Actually, I'd be surprised if they didn't since e-bogu has strong ties to Enshin...*whistles* What this means is I will be buying a dogi from them as soon as they're available and will probably have my students do the same. I imagine many other dojo in the USA will probably be going to them in the future for dogi. Osu! www.e-bogu.com |

Their price of sparring gear is very reasonable for the quality, too!
Osu!

Osu! Any idea which brand this dogi is modeled after? Isami perhaps? Looking forward to see if it will be similar in feel to my other full contact dogi. I am terribly partial to the heavier top and lighter material pants.
Osu!

I am terribly partial to the heavier top and lighter material pants. Osu! Not sure, MilkmanX might know a few of the exact details of the dogi. I only had it confirmed by e-bogu that yes they're making a full contact cut dogi and yes it will be available in a "couple of months", and yes, they do Kyokushin kanji embroidery (and your name if you choose). I'm pretty sure they could do the Yoshukai embroidery and/or silk screen for sure. I know they already have a reasonable price silk screen option compared to most other MA uniform places. Osu! |

From what I was told it will be an Isami-like Dogi.

For some reason our organization wants all embroidery and silk screening done through them  . I think I will give e-bogu a try. I have always been one to go against the grain ;D. |

I can only assume why but if the price is reasonable it's not a bad thing. Especially if they'll do embroidery/silk screening on any dogi you give them. Osu! |

It is not too high of a price, but if I get it done myself it takes half the time and half the cash. Osu! |

Osu!

No, not yet..I'm hoping soon! 3 weeks ago or so I heard "a couple months"...maybe October? The sooner the better!
I may know a cheap alternative, well, I do, but I'm waiting on hearing if the kanji embroidery is any decent and the quality is decent. If it is, I may know of someone you can get some dogi through very cheap with embroidery!
Osu!

I was told some time ago that to expect this dogi in December. If I don't hear anything in the next couple weeks I will inquire to them again. If not, I will be ordering some dogi from Pakistan from karategoods.com (I know 3 people that have got what they paid for from them!) to offer to my students since with shipping it's half the price of just about any other full contact cut dogi.
Osu!

And the saga for the full contact dogi for the U.S. market continues...
Thanks for the info Milkman.

Actually, I'd be surprised if they didn't since e-bogu has strong ties to Enshin...*whistles*
. I think I will give e-bogu a try.
