Taekwondo Dobok Fabric Choice

Taekwon-Do lightweight uniforms:

  • Common fabrics are 100% Cotton and a Polyester/Cotton blend.  Avoid 100% Cotton as it shrinks more.
  • Fabrics may have a standard, twill or ribbed weave.  Standard has no pattern in the fabric; twill has very fine lines and is more durable; ribbed has distinctive lines and promotes better airflow through the fabric.
  • Weights range from 5-10oz.  5-7oz is very light and easy to tear.  8-9oz is normal; 10oz begins to have a heavy feel.
  • Some more expensive versions have a second layer of material sewn inside to separate the main fabric from the body.  This helps ventilation but generally isn't required with high-quality fabric.

Ribbed Poly-cotton uniforms have a distinctive look and provide excellent airflow while resisting shrinkage.  They are cost effective, do not weight you down, and are easy to wash and care for.  Aim for a 8-9oz fabric.

Sapius Excite, Enhance and Empower Taekwon-Do uniforms all use the same pre-washed 8oz Poly-cotton ribbed fabric.  BUY NOW!
