A2H goes up to 240 lbs maximum, I wouldn't recommend going for A2H unless you are cutting weight.

A4 is a better choice, although intended for someone a bit taller, it would work for you after some warm washes and dryer cycles on Medium Heat.

I'm 235 5'11. The A2H top is perfect. The pants however too snug. Go A4. Warning though. 93 Brand gis don't shrink much in my experience.

@todei79 - Yes, in general 93 Brand Gis are thoroughly pre-shrunk so there isn't much shrinkage. However the Tau is the one exception to that! The Tau will shrink like most Gold Weaves.

I actually have both. For the record I am 5'8" and 160ish lbs. NOTHING is longer on the A1L than the the A2. To be honest I bought the A2 because the A1L shrunk so much (never put it in the dryer, never used hot water). The A2 is a lot wider in the pants and sleeves as well as the jacket in general so you might find it annoying in that way.

@Aryia, Mish is correct, the A1L is only longer than an A1... It is not longer than an A2.

Think of it this way: A1L is like an A1 with the *length* of an A2. Essentially, designed for someone who needs the girth/tightness of A1 but needs the length of A2.

The same goes for A2L. It's for someone who has the height/length of A3, but requires the girth and bagginess (or lack thereof) of A2.

Similarly, A2H is for someone who needs the girth/bagginess of A3 but doesn't need the A3 height. Essentially making A2H for someone who has the height of an A2 person but the weight of an A3 person.

Hope that answers your questions!

@Samwise, your Gi may have been mis-labeled, truthfully.

I'm a hair over 6'1" and I'm 183 lbs, the A2 jacket is perfect, though the pants are a bit snug on my fat behind. I'm an A2L. Considering that the A2 was the perfect length for someone 6'1", your A2 should not exceed your fingertips by 5". There was certainly something wrong.

The factory may have stitched an A2 tag on an A4 Gi.
It's happened before. I have an Inverted Gear white Panda that says A2 but when laid on top of an Inverted Gear A3, it's the same size. It's happened with Tatami as well, so not impossible for 93 Brand to get the same mixup.

Shoot an email to george@93brand.com and I'll make it right.

A2L or A3, depending on how you wash.

If you wash cold and hang dry always, then A2L will work.
If you like warm washes or use the machine to dry, then go for an A3 and then it'll shrink to fit perfectly.

@Chris,
I've competed with this Gi in IBJJF comps with no problem.
The IBJJF diagram says that only a brand label can be on the shin, so the "93. finest. technique." embroidery might be a subjective call on the ref's part.

My Gi checker didn't say anything, however the shin embroidery has been pointed out as IBJJF illegal by my friend who is an IBJJF referee.

A2 should work for you.

A5 is way too big on me but idk how 93 brand does their cut...I'm like a A3 waist but A5 Pant length. Are there gi tailors out there? Lol

Would still like some feedback as I'm hoping to change my gi size if needed. Seeing reviews that the gi doesn't shrink much.

Yes, A2 is the best choice for you.

I recommend A3, just make sure you cold wash & hang dry.
It'll work great as long as you like a modern type of fit.

If you like an old school, relaxed fit, then you should go with the A4 and use warm washes until you get the desired fit.

I mean A1L

A1L is a good choice, for sure.

Yes, Steve, A2H is a good choice.
After a wash it should be right on point!
