I have a gi (karate uniform) that is perfect for me.  I have had this
gi for about 7 years.  It was bought for me by a former sensei that I
can no longer contact.  It is just starting to wear, and I want
another one just like it.  Other major brands are not substitutes. 
Unfortunately, the phone number on the tag (1-800-458-9797) does not
work.

I have put pictures of the gi up at
http://www.iago.org/justin/gallery/gi/

What I want to know is, where can I buy a new one?  (size 5)

Thanks.

Hello.

Clearly, the best place to try to buy this exact gi is from the
company that originally sold it.

The number on the tag (1-800-458-9797) belonged to Pinnacle Martial
Arts Supply of Palatine, Illinois.

Pinnacle's new number is 1-847-359-1800. Two different addresses seem
to be associated with that number.

Pinnacle Martial Arts Supply 
327 N Eric Dr
Palatine, IL 60067
(847) 359-1800

PINNACLE MARTIAL ARTS SUPPLY
109 W. Slade Street
Palatine, IL 60067
847/359-1800

I called (847) 359-1800 and it's operational. The business seems to be
either affiliated with (or operating under the name) the Illinois
Shotokan Karate Club. According to the recording I listened to, they
operate during normal business hours. The club has a web page at:
http://www.iskc.com/about_iskc.html

So give them a call tomorrow at 1-847-359-1800 tomorrow.

search strategy: 1-800-458-9797, "pinnacle martial arts"

I hope this helps.

Sorry for the typo. That should have been:

"So give them a call tomorrow at 1-847-359-1800."

Perfect.  I just ordered the gi.  Thanks.
