we have Punjab Sports Canada in brampton, Jagjit Textiles in brampton, and Lebas of India in malton, im not too sure about their vardiyan and how they look, but you can get kundey chikey kaatos from there

Yeh Jas is right. But those places have ready made vardiyan there so I'm not sure if you had a design in mind but I don't think they would be able to create what you might of had in mind.

Hey just wondering which one of those 3 that were mentioned have the best ones, I need one bhangra outfit for when doing dhol entrances, and bharats

Anyone know if the chikey are any good from punjab sports canada? We get more in next feb from india but need a couple to tidy us over til then...

 

[dholiman20]

chikey from punjab sports are GARBAGE...

they are excessively tight and very uncomfortable to play.

there are a few random stores in and around brampton that sell shikke.. of them all, i think punjab sports would be ur best bet.. the more expensive shikke from punjab sports are pretty durable and yes, they are very tight at first but after playing them a couple times they get pretty good in terms of smoothness/looseness.. they have a few different types of shikke so if u really want u can just go there and check them out


as for vardiyan, of those 3 stores mentioned, Lebas of India might be able to do something for u thats decent (if i remember correctly, we got some simple vardiyan made from there once and they did a decent job) but i wouldnt trust the other 2.. im not sure about jagjit textiles but i know punjab sports has ready-made vardiyan (as mentioned) and even if they do make custom vardiyan, i doubt they would do a very good job.. usually if ppl come to them asking for custom vardiyan, they order them from india anyways lol

you can get nice shykke from india through armaan gupta (northeastern) or harkiran (shopbhangra) for almost the same price as punjab sports but much higher quality

punjab sports shykke break very easily

@Sanidev - Ask around other teams in GTA if you can borrow some for like 2 months (until yours come in from India). There are so many teams in the area, I'm sure you could get some temporarily. Some teams/academies might have some extras they could possibly lend.

Maybe offer them some money to "borrow" them & tell them if you break any, you'll refund them the full price.

You're lucky to be where you're at and have so many resources man. Good luck!
