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.

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).

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

Well, the size range has improved over the years. They do have customization for your exact meausurements, but there is a charge for that, yes.

Hi, guys. Just wanted to say a couple of things. One, my binder did come from T-Kingdom the other day and I am pleased with it, as usual. I have found through trial and error, that with the T-Kingdom binders that I need to go down one size for a correct fit. I don't know if others have this same experience with them, but for what it is worth, that is my experience (and I am not one who tightens hys/her/his binder to where hy/he/she can't breathe, either...I am not looking to "pass", I just like a flatter look to my chest). It was model 801 and I found that the fabric in the back is thicker and more solid than the last 801 I purchased about a year ago.

Additionally, I did order from another Taiwan based company, Kuya (I am pretty sure it is Taiwan), through the site I posted the other day (http://www.lesloveboat.com/shop/index.php?cPath=78), just to check out their stuff. I ordered the High Performance Velcro Short binder, as it has the highest rating for flatness and ventilation. As a side note, I looked to see if Kuya had their own site (in case I could get the binder for a cheaper price), but couldn't find one.

The positive about the Love Boat site is that they have sizes up to 46-48 inch chests. Although T-Kingdom makes larger binders than they used to, you have to go custom if your chest is more than 40-42, according to their sizing chart.

I will let you guys know what I think of the Kuya binder.

I would like to hear if others have experience with other companies besides the couple we have already discussed, as it is nice to have reviews from people you know, prior to purchase. Binders are so f*ing expensive and in some cases, not refundable.

I am gonna order the shoe lifts just for the fun of it. I will give a review once I get them. I look forward to your review on the binders and thanks for the site.

I've seen the link before and it looks cool, but isn't that material the same/similar material that under armour uses for their workout shirts? If so, even if it keeps your body dry from sweat, it starts to stink pretty fast. Plus I can't see myself buying a week's worth, lol.

I'd be more inclined to save for a pair if it could be used instead of a harness for a hard pack. If they came out with something like that in trunk form instead of jock form, I'd be on it like crazy, lol. Hmmm...maybe I should contact them about that
