Completely OT 2: Where get cheap karate gi?

So after some thought post Completely OT thread 1 (the cosplay shop), I'd now like to ask: where can I get a cheap karate gi nearby, preferably black colored (but regular white's OK too). I don't wanna spend more than $30 something on it. Any suggestions on "where can get" LOCALLY?

Ideally something like this:
http://www.kiintl.com/1/catalog/KI-L...e-p-16201.html

Don't wanna order online though heh heh...

Thanks!

KC martial arts in Pearl City near Honolulu Ford.
I used to pick mine up for students there.

I think you can get the generic light weight ones for close to that.

Hakubundo has ,but it's the heavy weight expensive tournament style, only Tokkaido and Juka, which are like way above 100.

Also you get what you pay. Low cost may = poor quality material used, seams not strong and rip, doesn't air out (ventatilation), fading or discolor after washing, and so forth.

Are you really going to wear a gi for Halloween?

Yeah, I figured that out after paying a visit to Hawaii Martial Arts Supplies today haha. The low end dogi were all crappy cotton-poly blends! Ugh!

I actually wanted to be Ryo Sakazaki from Art of Fighting for Halloween haha, but his "Mr. Karate" version from Buriki-1
