Buying from Bogushop

[Maku-san]

Has anyone in the States ordered anything from Bogushop in BC? If so, how's the duties go, $$$-wise?

Reason I ask is that I'm looking into buying my hakama & keikogi from them, but don't know if the duties will push the price over what another supplier Stateside will quote me.

BTW: anyone know of a good supplier for keikogi/ hakama for a guy who's 5'10", 277 lbs? I tried a size 6 keikogi and I looked worse than those macho '70's MA movie actors... :disapp: Just couldn't get it to close properly over my chest. The hakama was a disaster as well... the side vents were so wide open, I thought my baw-tucks were gonna show one way or another. :eek:

Many thanks in advance for your assistance!

I really like e-bogu for kendo and budo-aoi for iaido.
www.e-bogu.com is their website. Some people have said that their quality has gone down but i have only ordered shinais from them for about 2 years since i bought my tetron hakama.
