    Cartel uniforms

    Whats the opinion on the cartel FIE uniforms? They're a great price.

    Excellent material (very thin and light), great price, poor tailoring.

    I'm a sabre fencer, so I don't really mind as it's stuffed under a lamé most of the time, but I don't think I'd recommend it to an epee fencer.

    How bad tailoring are we talking? Like, triplette bad?

    Better than Triplette--certainly, but it never feels entirely right. Sleeves are short and wide, zipper is longer than the surronding fabric. Leaves something to be desired.

    Are you planning to order direct, or is there a US vendor?

    There's a Canadian vendor: http://www.fencersnetwork.com/index.asp?r=ca

    Apparently there's a U.S. version of the same, but only the Canadian version of the site has the Cartel gear ...
