I'll bet you buy Dellwood instead of Milk, too.

:smile:

well they give ME a discount, i dunno about you guys.

read the info on the wholesale program on their website, it shouldn't be hard for a smart guy like you to find a way to get wholesale from combat sports. they even give you a nifty banner that says you are an authorized dealer to display in your gym, home or office.

would THAT make you feel better about displaying their name?

How is asking to be compensated in some manner for doing their advertising in any way considered anti-capitalist?

Heck, if you want "LOL, KE?PO!" plastered across my ass, cough up the dough ... or at least a pair of the shorts.

Already went that route. That's the reason why the cap I wear in the winter and my keychain has a little boxing glove on it that both say "Ringside". I got them for free.

Yeah...but I guess it's about as good as you'll get. I don't mind the brands I listed b/c they're logos are kept to a minimum...they're not like Tapout or other "fightgear" companies that are "pimped out" with absurd amounts of advertising...

Does anybody know any decent UK sites? This will save me postage time and money.

I have used dragonbleu before, but they sent me the wrong size shorts , so I wasn't too keen to use them again.

Thanks for the links.

Truth Fightwear has some good stuff. I have a pair of their V3 ($24.99) urban camo shorts, which are pretty comfortable. They recently came out with their V3.1 shorts, which have a smaller waist closure and are an inch shorter than the V3s. I like that they adjusted the closure, but I'm not happy about the shorter length... if anything, I think they should have made them a half-inch longer. Still, they're great quality for the price.

I also have a pair of their MMA/grappling gloves ($24.99), although I would recommend you look over the sizing chart carefully if you plan on ordering them. I ordered a pair of the mediums first, which felt too tight; I exchanged them for a large pair, but they seemed kinda loose (I guess I just have weird "in-between" size hands). I ended up sticking with the large, which seem to be holding up well. They also have training gloves and short-sleeve rashguards, although I haven't tried them, so I can't vouch for their quality.
