They will also custom make your binder if you can't find your size.

I think that might be an oxymoron!

The one I posted really is much cooler than most. It does stretch a bit more quickly than most, however.

As a side note, I find all the t-kingdom binders to be better quality/comfort than any other brand I have owned. The velcro binders can't be beat.

thanks for the tip DP.

I have a couple of slim Ts size small binders that are still sealed in plastic if anyone wants one. I didn't like them. They didn't work for me but they might work for a size A or small B. If you want to cover the shipping I'll definitely send them. They were like $25 each.

I think the toolshed might have what you're looking for. They have a couple different options.

I bought one of the velcro binders from t-kingdom and it's awesome. I love it. It works great.

might interest some people. Never have ordered from here but just found this the other day. Posted it in another thread but figured it should go here also.

Model 801 is GREAT for the summer. Light, but strong.

I also have Model 1700.

Both excellent choices. For a couple of bucks they will customize their binders for you.

I wouldn't hesitate purchasing any binder from these guys. The comparison chart is also very helpful.

I was just ordering a new binder and I saw that the additional cost to customize your binder is $21.57. That is a lot more than the $6.00 it was last time I checked! (which I always thought was a crazy price anyway, since they ask you to send them like 8 different measurements or your torso...). I'm lucky they have my size.

I'm the size of a linebacker, they just don't fit. I do love to breathe.

Hey, guys, I stumbled onto a review of this underwear.

The only issue I see with the shock jocks is that they are sized small (XL is a 36 :blink: )

LOL I haven't seen 36 in years :mohawk:

wolfbittenpoet 06-19-2011 01:04 PM

if you have gay male friends ask around with them. there are new andrew christians ive seen or maybe andrew christian knockoffs that are going bigger sizes. Jockey also has some styles with an inner pouch that are nice. My favorite pair are called I believe euro trunks they have a decent pouch fit snugly dont droop and are a nice nylon microfiber that is soft and cool.

I ordered 2 more binders from t-kingdom.com on May 22 and haven't received them yet. I sent them an email last Sunday the 13th and got no response. I sent them a 2nd email on Friday 17th and haven't received a response. I'm going to send them one final email today.

Has anyone else had problems with them?

$160 lost in the republic of castro.

I haven't. This is my third order from them.

I ordered from them on 6/11/11 and received an email from paypal (even though I didn't use paypal) on 6/15/11 that the order was shipped.

Have you received an email? I don't recall receiving an email in the past when something has shipped. There website says expect 14 days to the U.S.

No response from them. I emailed them 2 times already. I'm going to report them to my bank, paypal and warn others to take extreme caution when purchasing from them. I've purchased 100's of items on the internet and have only had 2 bad experiences. This one was the worse. I can understand if the shipment was lost or something. However, they are not trying to resolve the issue. They don't even respond to my emails.

I am really sorry this is happening to you. I heard you say that they did not respond to your emails...I was trying to ask if they sent you a shipping email like I received (and the package just never came)?

I truly have heard nothing but good things about them and have always had quick responses from them.

Not that you want to take my advice again, but....

this is another site I heard was good: http://www.lesloveboat.com/shop/index.php?language=en

However, I have had no personal experience with them. The materials and such may be similar to T-Kingdom, I am thinking.

Do you contact them via their website?

Yes, but the last time was well over a year ago. It was just the standard "contact us" button.

Well I guess things have changed in the company....:)
They sell binders on ebay now. I may try my luck there. :)

Why do you want Velcro? Perhaps the Vest version may be helpful or you could modify one and sew in Velcro yourself?

Elijah 06-21-2011 03:43 PM

Especially if you are large chested...
 
I just wanted to share one of the most helpful products I have ever found. The Enell Sports Bra.

I know, it's not all macho - get over it, the performance is.

Because I am large chested, compressions shirts and vests were not satisfactory...I slid around in them and they were incredibly warm. I would also get cramps in My sides from the compression.

The downside is that they are expensive, but I have found them well worth the money.

Make sure you following the sizing instructions carefully.

I found the best price at this website:

I prefer the ones with velcro, myself. You can adjust how tight they are. Additionally, if the binder stretches out over time, this makes up for it.

I personally dislike underworks binders beyond measure. Of course I have only tried a couple, but the ones I had were so scratchy and uncomfortable. The t-kingdom ones are great. The bottom half of the binder is soft fabric.

I've only tried 2: velcro and pullover. For my own needs and personal tastes, the velcro works best. I haven't tried the vest but the design doesn't sound functional for my needs.

I'm definitely not a seamstress.

Ebon 06-21-2011 11:07 PM

I've been wondering about getting the velcro one. Where do you get it from? I usually only use underworks.

atomiczombie 06-22-2011 12:57 AM

Velcro like this?

http://www.morrisdesigns.com/gv.htm

The top one has velcro on the shoulders. These are really expensive though.

No, the velcro is along the side of the body, so that you pull it across to how tight you want it.

http://www.t-kingdom.com/shopping/en..._english.shtml

ETA: Be aware though, this is the site that kannon is currently having problems, with (But again, that is so shocking to me as I have purchased three times over the past 6 years or so with no problems...and good consumer reviews online).

Daktari 06-22-2011 05:50 AM

Ta ever so for this thread and all your contributions guys. Since getting a little heavier I've developed these *things* on my chest :| which make me really conscious of my body, something I've never really experienced before. I shall be checking out all your compression vest/tshirt/et al links.

Apropos the Aslan packy strap. It's not much of a job to add a couple of leg straps to stop it riding up. It's also real easy to make your own custom packy strap ....take one o-ring (metal, plastic, silicone, which ever is your preference - although metal is a bit too heavy for this purpose), a waist/hip length piece of inch wide elastic and two leg strap lengths of half inch elastic and attach them to the o-ring in the obvious configuration. Voila! One home-made, custom sized packy strap.

The other thing to keep in mind with T-kingdom is that they tend to be made for smaller, more fit individuals.

Hey Ebon. I ordered one from ebay. My chest is about a small C and the velcro works best for me. It's much easier to put on.

Buyer Beware: I had a bad experience with T-kingdom. I ordered $160 worth of product that I have yet to receive. It's been 30 days now. I've sent them 3 professional emails of inquiry and they haven't responded to any.

If you used a credit card or a check card you can call your credit card company or bank and they should fight the charge for you.

Yeah, that's what I need to do today. :) I wanted to give them enough time to resolve the issue before I took any action to recoup the money.
