Black trim for uniform

Well,yes. As mentioned, Moosoolsa does custom work.
But if you can't do it that way, just tell the person you hire where you want the trim added and how wide you want it to be. If that's not enough, show them a picture of an ITF dobak (or similar). Seems simple enough.
I don't know anything about kits. Black trim dobaks can be hand with trim around the lapel, down the arms, down the legs, around the cuffs... How much do you want trimmed? Since you're hiring someone, just point and say "put black there".
There are, or used to be, by ITF standards. But that really wouldn't have anything to do with what you're doing.
Yeah, really, wondering about this. Why would the school make people get trim sewed onto the uniform instead of just buying some uniforms that come with the trim and getting them screen printed? Suppliers give huge discounts to schools for uniforms, so it's really not that expensive.

I would not buy a uniform that was already trimmed out. What if it had to be tailored? Our school buys light weight uniforms with the screen on the back or all students. Once you are a first DAN, it is the persons responsibility to get a mid weight or heavy weight uniform and have it tailored and trimmed. We order our uniforms from St. Louis MO.
Well, I can't say as I've ever heard of anybody getting their uniform tailored, beyond getting the pants hemmed a little. Do you guys put trim on the bottom of the pants? I imagine the dry cleaners could just take the trim off and move it up the pants when they do the hem.

Yes the bottom of the pants and the sleeve cuffs. Plus higher DANs have a black stripe down the leg. Here is an example
Hmm. Some quick looking around on Dynamics, Century & Challenger and none of them even had pants like that that I saw! Dynamics & Challenger had the top, but it came with plain pants. So I guess you'd still have to add some trim even if you bought the trimmed uniform. Oh well.

Step One:
By dobok with trim already in place.
Step Two:
Go to local community college Art Department. Pay local Starving Art Student $25 to custom paint school logo on back using fabric paint.
Result:
Way cool custom dobok that everyone else will drool over, a struggling artist makes a few bucks (and maybe a few more from dojang-mates), and your money stays local instead of going to China.

I'm pretty sure that the suppliers (or at least Dynamics, who we use) import the plain uniforms from China and do the screen printing locally.
