A distinct and unique Pearl Weave is used throughout the jacket, the structure of which breaks away from your typical "lightweight" Pearl Weave.$99
another 93 - my fav brand :-) FYI, I'm 5'8, 155lbs (athletic build) and the A1L fits me perfectly out of the box
Anything from flow kimonos coming up soon?
In the next few weeks.
5'10" 225lbs A2H?
Yep.
So I'm a bit bigger than guys usually my height 5'8 225lbs with a small gut and giant tree trunk legs. I usually have a problem with pant length (figure I'll need to hem regardless) because I have short legs and a long torso. I was looking at the a2h would that fit? Or should I just get a3 and try to shrink?
Go A2H.
if I'm 180-185 cm and 138 lbs which size will fit me? tnx guys
I just want to make sure you didn't make a conversion error (mixing 'lbs' and 'cm' I'm assuming you're outside the US?) That's the equivalent of 5'11" and 138 lbs... are you very tall and skinny? If so, you should get the A2 and shrink it down with Medium Heat in the dryer. Or an A1L and stick with Cold Wash/Hang Dry.
5"6 and 165-170
A1L
I am same height/weight as Jose. I like to hot wash and heat dry my gis. Will the A1L shrink to a perfect fit or do I need the A2 to wash and dry?
If I'm 165 cm and 16.5 years old , what is my size?
What is your weight?
5'4" 155lb. a1? or will the pants be too long?
A1 will be great for you after a wash :)
185 pounds 6 foot tall cubby A2?
A2 will work, just stick with Cold Wash Hang Dry. I'm your weight but a couple inches taller @ 6'2" so if you have long lanky arms and/or legs, torso, etc, then you can bump up to an A2L size.
135-140 5"4 what size ???
A0 for sure.
does anyone know if it shrinks alot
If you follow the manufacturer's instructions of Cold Wash/Hang dry, there is minimal shrinkage. If you try to shrink with heat in the dryer, then you can get a little shrinkage out of this Gi :)
Will you have Inverted Gear anytime soon?
6" 240 lbs, 36" waist Is that an A4?
A2H is a better choice. A4 is good but is meant for someone taller than 6'0", however the 93 Brand A2H is a custom size built for exactly this case (meaning someone with the height of A2/A3 but the weight of an A4)
i weigh about 135-140 and I'm 5`8 why would be best for me?
Definitely A1L - it'll be a perfect fit after washing.
Hoping someone can give me a relatively speedy answer. Being on the west coast, the last couple of gis that have come up, I get sizing advice after the deal deadline. So here's question. I am 6'1", 190#, 36" waist, pretty muscular shoulders and chest. I have a Tatami Estillo 4.0 that fits pretty good, but is a little baggy in an A3. Should I be looking at an A2L in this? Thanks in advance.
See below
The "below" doesn't mention anything about weight, just a similar height of 6'1". There's a big difference between 6'1" 170 and 6'1" 190, especially if your talking about less than 15% body fat at 190.
@STAN At 6'1" 190 lbs, you're not far off from me at 6'2" 180-185 lbs. Like BJJIST, I also have the Charlie in A2 and A2L. They both fit, granted I *always* cold wash and hang dry. I have relatively thin upper body though, all my muscular weight is in my ass/quads/hamstrings. That being said, it's not like the A2L has no wiggle room. If I were a little broader and built in the upper body, it'd still fit. So I'm sure you can rock the A2L as long as you 100% cold wash and hang dry. If you insist on putting it in the dryer (generally not recommended, especially for colored Gis as it wears down the dyed fabric more quickly), then you could also bump up to A3 and shrink to fit via Medium Heat cycles in the dryer. But, again, I'm confident that the A2L will get the job done with a nice tailored fit when washed properly.
can someone contact me from this app so I can order something without it shutting down. I want this gi
@Matt - what's the specific issue you're having?
im 5'10 260 broad shoulders.... will this fit me??? not a huge gut im just a wide wrestler lol
A2H for sure. Cold wash/hang dry to make sure it doesn't shrink much. Since your height is a few inches below the max height, the weight difference shouldn't be a problem. Looks like your account is linked to a Facebook profile... Is there a picture of you flexing next to Jeff Glover and Renato Laranja? If that's you in the middle, judging by the size relation to Glover Laranja, the A2H should be a perfect choice!
yeah thats me lol had to show of my ( In Jiu jitsu we trust ) tattoo lol
I am 5'11.5" and weigh 165-170. Which size would fit after multiple cold washings (and hang-dries)? May bulk up all the way to 175, but that would be my max weight over the next year or two. Thanks in advance for the advice.
A2L
Yup, A2L should do the trick (although A2 would work as well).
i'm 6'1" and have both the a2 and a2l. The difference is basically whether you like the longer or shorter skirt length. And essentially that's personal prefference. The a2l sleeves will be long but can be shrunk however the skirt didn't really shrink so it might be long but again personal preference. If you go with the a2 though always hang dry. My personal eexperience.To quote the hodge twins "This is all just advice. Do whatever the f*** you wanna do!"
So, from what I can tell above, the A2 vs A2L is really only going to affect the gi top (sleeve and skirt length)? I'm 5'11"/175# - my issue is usually with a pant inseam being a little too short (in regular A2's). Are the pants for an A2 adn A2L the same length?
@ J-Ru : That is not correct, the Gi top is *not* the only difference. Pants are longer as well so it should do the trick for you if that's your usual problem :) A2L is essentially an A2 Gi with added length in the jacket sleeves, jacket skirt length, and pants length. Basically you're looking at an A2 Gi with an A3 length.
5'7" 210lbs......a2h?
