An A3 will probably be best mate, but of you plan to lose a kew kilos I would wait and get an A2.

Because of your height, an A3 might be too long.

true - I'm 5"10 and 90 kgs and find I always have to shrink an A3 down a bit because the sleeves etc are that bit too long

I think an A3 is going to be massive on me, maybe an A2 would be better. How much, what manufacturer, cost and where to buy?

I like Korals mate, and dragonbleu.net are very good.

I got my first Koral from Martialartshop.co.uk, next day delivery. If your unsure of the size, I would get one from a UK based store so its easier for you to send it back if needs be.

keiko raca size A3 or Koral MKM (I'd get A2 next time)

I'm 5 10 and 80 odd KG and that would do me. I'm slightly top heavy (have skinny legs) so about the same.

I wouldn't get an A3 personally, I'm 6'4" and have an A3 which fits perfectly so it would be way too long for you I'd imagine, trim down a bit and buy an A2 if you want a Gi in the interim buy a cheap judo one to tide you over?

Aren't Gi's other than White, Blue, Black and Red technically not allowed in certain comps though? I'm sure I read in the Seni rules you were only allowed those colours if you wanted to enter?

I bet they do pink ones as well but you wouldn't catch me wearing one !!

I always think better to stay away from anything other than blue or white (even Ninja black)`unless you're absolute mustard.
