"Let's put kanji around some bones" said some neckbeard somewhere?  

I'm 5'8", 180lbs. Usually A2s are right in my wheelhouse; not this time with the way this gi shrinks. After about 3-4 cold washes and hang dries this gi has almost shrunk to the point of being restrictive when rolling. If you are thinking of getting the next size up I would highly recommend going that route. Also be forewarned that this is not a lightweight gi and can be a little stifling.

That being said, for the price this gi cannot be beat. This is a fantastic starter gi and as long as you get your size right you will not be dissapointed. For anyone new to the sport this is a great bargain for the quality of gi you are buying.
