Taichi uniforms

Characteristics of Tai Chi outfits

The Tai Chi outfit is a set of a top and a bottom. For your information, we do not speak of a «taichi kimono«, kimono being a Japanese word!Instead, it is called a Tai Chi outfit, tunic, set or jacket and trousers.

How to choose your trousers? It's quite simple! It must obviously be loose and slightly longer than a classic pair of trousers. No, you won't walk on your trousers! Indeed, it is tightened by an elastic band that goes up on the ankles and gives a cuff effect.

As for the jacket, it has a central opening and brandebourg closure. The jacket is most often long-sleeved. Sometimes jackets have wide, half-length sleeves that stop at the elbows.

Again, traditionally it should be loose in order not to hinder your movements.

In contrast to Wushu outfits, Tai chi outfits do not have a belt.

The main fabrics

• Classic fabric: it is a fabric made of synthetic fibre (polyester). This type of fabric offers a resistant, light, fluid outfit; pleasant to wear.
  Moreover, it is a fabric that does not retain odours, offers good thermoregulation and, above all, is a fabric that wicks away perspiration well!
  This fabric has a beautiful fall, does not wash out, does not shrink in the wash and above all does not wrinkle!
  It is a good value fabric.
• Classic premium fabric: this is a fabric with the same characteristics as the classic fabric but the mesh of the premium product is wider, which helps to optimise the wicking of sweat.
  There is also a difference in the weight of the fabric compared to conventional fabric. Here, the weight is higher, which results in a thicker, stronger and therefore more durable clothing.
  For the record, this fabric was originally designed for the quality-conscious of the Japanese market.
• Imitation silk fabric: this fabric is in every way very close to real silk, so much so that a neophyte would not know the difference! We get the same visual appearance, feel and density as a real silk fabric.
  The fibre is synthetic, light and soft with a satin finish.
  This fabric reflects the light well and will enhance your demonstrations and competitions.
• Imitation silk stretch fabric: here we have a very fluid, light and supple technical fibre with a satin look.
  The only difference with the imitation silk fabric is the elasticity. Here you are dealing with a more elastic, stretchy material.
  Just like the classic imitation silk fabric, this fabric is a very good choice for your demonstrations and competitions.
• Cotton & viscose alloy fabric: this fabric is a blend of 65% viscose (artificial silk) and 35% cotton.
  It is light, soft to the touch and comfortable to wear. This fabric is very suitable for summer practices.
  The outfits of this alloy are affordable and suitable for small budgets.
• Satin fabric: this fabric contains synthetic fibre (polyester). Satin outfits are light and comfortable to wear.
  Satin outfits are wearable in summer and mid-season and are perfect for performing because of their satin look.
  /> Like the cotton and viscose model, the satin outfits are accessible to a large number of people
