The service was amazing and the shipping was fast. The product has amazing quality. I can really recommend this shop.
I gave measurements and received a shirt that fits. Very good quality of sewing and exceptional fabric. Very happy.
I oredered Lined Tang Jacket and missed with the size. Service from Best Chinese Clothing contacted me and they send me right size. Jacket is perfect. Customer service in this company - super!
Great Quality With Amazing Customer Service.
The clothing was just right. As far as the fit was just normal. As you said based on my measurements I was slightly bigger. I will be ordering from your company again shortly. I would suggest that the manufacture make two (2) sizzes up from X 5; I.E. x 6 & or x 7 which would fit my person and most average Americans perfectly ...

It's always a risk buying from a new website, but they have a blog and so I trusted more that they were authentic. And they are. It takes about a month to arrive since they custom make it after you order and it comes from China. I like the robes and feel comfortable in them.
Communication
The company always responded and even e-mailed me first to talk about the shoe size, which is reassuring.
Shoes
They suggested that I go up a size in shoes because their shoes are narrow. I regret going with that recommendation because now the shoes are too big and I can't wear them while training as they fall off. My recommendation is to go with your normal size.
Nice tang jacket and great customer service. Would recommend to anyone
I purchased two pair of the Soft-sole Shaolin Monk Shoes and used them for 1 month for this review.
I. First impression: Wow!
You know when you buy your new running shoe and it fits perfectly in store and you feel like you're floating on air? Thats the feeling putting these on. I immediately thought, "oh, boy, i should have ordered more. When i need them, for sure they won't be availble; they're sure to sell out quickly." Yep, THAT GOOD!
A. THE DESIGN:
* The upper shoe, I believe, is perhaps a Nylon and Cotton Twill mix. (Don't hold me to it - this is my guess given my experience with both). Its a tight weave with a twill pattern and rubber sole that connects top and bottom.
* The instep has very little rise (if any) and while in motion, the foot strike feels relatively flat. However, it is not totally level. There is a gentle slope from back to front - this results in the wearer leaning slight forward. This can be good for your knees and ankles. Over time, the rear will wear down and you will "balance out". (But the front sole will wear thin quicker because of this.)
* The insole is quite unique. It's designed with massaging one's pressure points in mind. So, when you are in motion, it's designed to impact your internal organs resulting in improved health. Your mileage will vary with this -- i have sensitive feet from years of wearing Dafu and TopOne Feiyue (which are flat, well balanced, with a bit extra rubber sole for lateral stability.) So, while i am getting used to the little raised dimples on the insole, you might love the feature right away, or you'll hate it.
* Underneath, the (perhaps) recylced material, or at least man-made material creates a nice grippy rubber outsole. That is, on carpet, ground, clean/waxed wood floors or linoleum floors, you will grip solid and won't leave marks. I have not tried using this show on wet surfaces. I would not recommend it - its relatively flat, and you WILL slip. Additionally, as mentioned above, due to the design and the sole being "soft", the forefoot of the sole will wear thin much faster than the rest of the shoe. After one month of daily use, the sole shows signs of wear. Depending on how often you use your shoes and if you use it for martial practice or just walking, your soles will wear out sooner or later - and the upper shoe will still be perfectly intact. (But a local shoe repair will easily be able to add another sole for you.)
* I wear a US side 11.5"; 29.25cm; UK 11"; EU 45.1/2; KOR 279; Chinese size would be 46 1/2. However, while BCC didn't have any sized 46 in stock, we went with sized 45 because the insole was actually about 29cm. This means they run a little larger than anticipated. This turned out to be fantastic for me. They were a size 45 that fit like a 46. Both pair.
B. The Function
* These Soft sole Monk shoes will keep you comfortable with a full-length midsole... kind of like adidas-bounce insoles.
* If there's room for improvement, it would be they need to be reinforced for extra stability during sideways movement. While they are supremely comfortable for walking, and excellent balance for forward movement (helping your lower back and knees), the couple-layer mesh upper is all that wraps around your foot. The rubber does not rise above the side of your foot (except in the toe area) so you will NOT have a rock-solid lateral movement lockdown. In practice, this means if you thrust sideways starting from a planted position (like a gongbu stance), or lunge sideways (as a pubu stance), there is nothing to stop your force from rolling over the shoe - so your foot slides off the rubber. To put it plainly, i wouldn't advise this shoe to be worn to play tennis, dodgeball, or even SOME martial art style practice.
The CONCLUSION
These Soft-sole Shaolin Monk shoes are wonderfully comfortable and very functional. You'll love the look, you'll be happy with the performance, and you'll likely buy others - sooner or later depending on how actively you use them.
great shirt。i got many —nice shirt from my friends
The order process:
- - - 1. with Bestchineseclothing.com (BCC) was simple and easy, and our Client Services Partner, Penny, was very helpful on sizing (having provided measurements)
- - - 2. The website was easy to navigate, makes selections, and pay.
- - - 3. You have the option for express shipping or regular shipping. However, it takes a bit to get it out the door and the tracking app is a bit less than ideal in its usefulness. However, BCC provides the tracking number via email so, you can use a tracking app you prefer for better accuracy.
- - - 4. Communication with BCC is good. They do get busy sometimes and you'll need to be prepared to wait a few days at times for a reply - but its always courteous and full of details you need.
The Uniform Material:
- - - 1. Viscose fiber mixed with Nylon (not one or the other, it was a combination of the materials: Viscos 73%, Nylon 27%).
- - - 2. The material is more sturdy than a dress suite, but not as hard as a Karate Gi. It is also not as flexible as mercerized Cotton. It's "hard" enough that hanging it on a hanger will create creases in the shoulder and pants. You will have to iron them for when for public use.
- - - 3. Having washed the uniform a couple times, the color seems to hold (not fading any more than usual), and shrinkage was at a minimum.
The Uniform Fit:
- - - 1. The fit will depend on ones taste. We all know some regular sizes fit tighter and some more loose. I ordered two standard size uniforms: One XS (non-strapped cuffs) and the other XXS (with Strapped cuffs).
- - - 2. In the end, the XS pants fit perfectly, while the XXS was loose, but tigher than "best fit". On the contrary, the XXS jacket was absolutely perfect fit!, while the XS was a hair too loose/big.
- - - 3. The measurements offered do not include "INSEAM". I wish it did. It would be easier to select your size if you pants usage is more important. The XS pants had a 78cm (30.7in) inseam, while the XXS had a 77cm (30.3in) inseam. The shorter inseam of the XXS created a lot of stress on the crotch stictching, so pulling them up higher aleviated that, but then the length tended to be a little short when exercising.
- - - 4. So, i would suggest you decide if its more important for the pants to fit "perfectly" for you, or the jacket, and order accordingly.
The Uniform Design
- - - 1. there are quality clues you will be glad to know about. It has inner pockets, snap buttons on the inside, frog buttons on the outside, and both inner and outter ties for quickest bindings. All three are genius.
- - - 2. You will have to be careful when undoing the snap buttons and treat them gingerly. They snap tight. So, if you "pull" them apart, you will tear the stitching or the uniform.
- - - 2. the pants have side pockets (on both sides) of a little better than average depth. However, they do not have zippers or velcro, so take that into account when putting heavier items within and performing with items in your pocket. The pockets are a very welcome addition!
Rating:
- - - 1. I give this product a 5 star rating - in that it offered what it promised, fit like marketed, and has a few extra suprises.
- - - 2. I would describe the transaction with BCC as "very good" and will definitely put in another order.
Conclusion:
- - - Ideal fit and material for Tai Qi Quan and excellent transaction.

They adhere well to all of the surfaces I've walked on so far, and seem very well glued to the shoe's underside.
It would be great if they were offered in other colors, like beige or black - it is a shame for the soles to start out in an immaculate white, only to gradually become dirty and grimy.
It took a couple of months, but when I got the vest, I was relieved with how well the vest turned out. The material was soft yet sturdy, and the cloth straps hold together well, ideal for kung fu practice. The constant communication from Best Chinese Clothing was also a pleasant surprise, as I was cautious ordering online being new to the process. These people were polite and professional, and I would buy from them again!
The wait time for all my items took a good while to come in, especially with placing my order around Chinese New Year. However when I finally got the pants, they felt nice and well made. I'm not used to wearing pants that are cuffed, and there was some shedding of the material at first, but that hasn't happened since, and Penny was very polite and very thorough with getting the measurements, which was a welcome surprise. Overall, the service was mostly positive and the products were worth the wait. For those reasons, I see myself checking this site out again in the future.
The boot was packaged well, Slightly loose foot but very comfortable. I think it will be OK in Canadian early winter and fall. No toxic factory odour.
Mabye I will buy the higher quality "pebbled" boots in the future. Thank you for responding to any shipping issue.
再见 👋
Firstly, many thanks to Penny.
I ordered a pair of shoes, and was guided throughout the process by Penny, as my shoe size is unusual.
I was told in a timely fashion that the product I initially chose would not fit me even in its largest version, and counseled toward the item available in my size.
I was also clearly told about shipping times
The product itself, "Jacquard Chinese Cloth Shoes" is excellent.
They fit me well thanks to Penny's advice.
The craftsmanship is very good - the flowery Jacquard pattern is lovely, it has beautiful colors, and wearing it is very comfortable.
I'll be ordering new clothes again soon from this website. I hope they propose more clothes and style.
The person who assisted me to make my purchase via mail was very helpful and nice.
I'll be wearing these outfits on cny but next time if they have more options I'll be buying for sure.
Price is not a big deal since quality is important and for this tang suit the quality was as expected.
Thanks and 系年快来
Fast and reliable delivery. Seller even write in to ensure the best fit!
Really nice quality of clothes would order again thanks 😊
Everything is great!
Especially the very knowledgeable and great advice from Penny, rarely experienced such good customer service!
The Gray pants are comfy and as shown, the blue one though were way darker than the image and more itchy feeling. Also the blue one had some loose string on a square pattern kind of stitched shape. Looks like it got "repaired" on 2-3 spots. Anyway nice product , I would have put a 5 stars if the blue were as perfect as the gray one.
The shoes were exactly how it was described. They fit perfectly, and feels very comfortable. I look forward to making additional orders for this and other items.
i ordered custom sized Arhat Pants/Robe.
Penny, from BestChineseclothing, has been a fantastic help in the ordering process, and i would not have had such a smooth transaction without her help.
Firstly, after discussion, we determined the Mercerized Cotton would be a good choice... oh, boy, and i glad i went that direction.
I have owned many Arhat pants/robes since the 90s. They were quick to tear at the seams, too small, too large, more like the canvas karate gi (very stiff and heavy) or much too light (like some silk tai qi uniforms.
When i opened the package and felt the material, i knew i'd finally found THE BEST Arhat uniform i will ever own. The material carries weight, but light at the same time. It STRETCHES so nicely, and i no concerns (overall) with the material expecting to "rip". I WILL DEFINITELY BE ORDERING MORE.
The BestChineseClothes tailors did a phenomenal job in the custom production of my set. The sizing is spot on. Fortunately, the BCC team will keep my sizes on record as i'll continue to order.
The only matter of slight concern was the crotch single stitch. This will wear out quickly with many kicks, splits, and either pubu or gongbu stances while wearing shaolin or hanfu socks. Penny from BCC is working with me to adjust the next order to address this single stitch concern.
However, if you will not be frequently doing kicks, splits, or wearing shaolin socks while doing these, the single stitch construction may pose no problem siince, as noted, the material stretches very nicely.
i look forward to my next orders!
