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. Iāve also worn them to college on occasion. I didnāt get much in the way of looks or anything. Iāve got a few nice ones, so I donāt see the point in not wearing them:)
I just have a couple for special occasions and Chinese New Year. Canāt find any Qing dynasty (āWong Fei Hongā) robes.
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.
ill go for it
no sense in not dressing the way i like to, right.
people will just call me bruce leroy but i think thats a cool name:D
thanks for replies
When I were in China, a really stupid moron from some club bought a chinese blouse for females 
He is SO stupid! They fooled him it was 4 men but everyone knew it was female fashion LOL.. he went around wearing it untill my sifu said he looked like a f@g Whadda tool..
Dressing kung fuā¦
I only do that when i have my trusty tai chi sword, and braided back hiar like Fei Hong.
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 thereās some college student in China going to school dressed as a puritan. 
i used to hav oneā¦and it looked pretty coolā¦but wat i want is that Jet Li wore in Fist of legendā¦it look awesome too..
i m getting that one for sure this monthā¦

every so often a co-worker or associate will travel to asia. If Iām lucky theyāll come back with a ātraditionalā style shirtā¦ Iāve got a few, even a Wong Fei Hung looking oneā¦ I dig 'em.
i wear one occasionaly
i have a brown ākung fuā shirt/jacketā¦i just wear it open with a shirt or t-shirt underneath with jeans and Timbsā¦u gotta rock it correct and it looks fine. Just donāt walk around lookin like Kung Fu Kenny expecting not to be ridiculed to death. Especially if you aināt Asian.

fashion of fury
Strangely, my job requires that I occasionally dress so. In fact, this is the second job that has required it. I donāt dress that way casually since it is my work clothes sometimes. Itās like wearing a McDonalds hat when not flipping burgers for the clown. OK, itās 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.
Iām gonna go see some nice traditional Chinese clothes this weekend, but Iāll most likely wear them only at home. However, it would be interesting to wear them at school too, but honestly I donāt what people would think - not that I care or anything, but I guess it would be a bit odd from the other studentsā point of view. Heh.
PJs
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 inā¦ http://store.yahoo.com/martialartsmart/product---index-11-19.html
Hey Gene,
Speaking of Hugh, you should send him a complimentary set of the pajamas, and see if heāll hook you up with some of they bunnies for some more Got Qi chicks!!
~Wen~
Thatās what I like about you Wen, Your always thinkinā!
Thanks QD!
I thought it was a rad idea. Gene, you really should try! I am sure Hugh would LOVE a new set of jammies :). And, if you are really nice to him, i am sure he would let you use his girls for the Got Qi ads!!! Uh, yeah, the ads!!

those things are tacky unless they are your kung fu uniform.
Why not dress in a Rennisaince outfit with a sawdust filled codpiece?
