About the product
Dobok Jeonmun from Shinka Combat is the ultralight one in the series, and we carry it because the quality holds, and because we keep it in stock in good quantities. The fabric is 100 percent polyester and so light that the dobok is barely felt on the body - which is what matters when training is intense and the leg has to go high many times in a row. The material is breathable and quick-drying, so the dobok does not get heavy with sweat along the way. The collar is white. The size range is wide: eight steps from 140 all the way up to 210 cm, so tall adults can get it too.

Questions and answers
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Which size should I choose?
The number in the selector is YOUR HEIGHT in centimetres, not the length of the dobok - a taekwondo dobok is measured by the height of the person wearing it. If you are 168 cm, you need 170. If you fall between two steps, take the larger: a dobok that is slightly too big gives full freedom for kicks, while one that is too small tightens across the shoulders just as the leg comes up. This particular model comes in eight steps from 140 to 210 cm, so from 140 to 210 cm. If you are outside that range, we carry other models with a wider selection - call us and we will find one.
-
What does the colour of the collar mean?
It shows the grade. In taekwondo, a light or white collar is worn by those who do not yet have a black belt, a black collar by those who do, and a poom collar in red and black by young athletes who took their black belt before turning 15. So it is not a question of what looks best - you could end up wearing a grade you do not have. If in doubt, ask the coach before ordering: it is the club and the federation that decide what is right for you, not us.
-
Can the dobok be embroidered with a name or club logo?
Yes, we do our own embroidery. You add the name when ordering, and a club logo is possible too - it requires that the club has approved it and that we have the logo as an embroidery file. If your club is not on the list, ask the club's coach or buyer whether they want it set up. Note one condition: an embroidered dobok can be neither exchanged nor returned, as it cannot be resold. So be sure of the size first - and rather call once too often.
-
Does the dobok shrink in the wash?
Only a little, and less than most people think. On uniforms with a high polyester content, expect about two to three percent in length, and with ten centimetres between sizes that does not change your choice. Wash at no more than 30 degrees, do not use fabric softener, and let the dobok air dry - a tumble dryer is what really shrinks and wears it. If the dobok is really dirty, run it with a pre-wash instead of turning up the heat.
