Gi and fightwear talk

Man, 6' and an A2 fits you? I'm just under 6' and some A3s only barely fit me due to limb length.

thats what worries me, I have proper long legs and arms

[Rob T]

At your height A2 defo won't fit you. What's your reach? At 77" I'm pushing it with A3.

you're 6'5 and 70kilos?

you need to see a doctor bro

[Rob T]

lol, more like needs to see a butcher!

my brother is a couple of years older than me (he's 27, I'm 25) and his metabolism has just slowed down

so you might see me buying a bigger size soon, haha

The legs come up a bit short but nothing too bad. I have a really long body. My inside leg is only like 33.

Wold someone like to sell me an A4 Faixa Rua classico in blue please.

anyone use an A1 gi from Tatami? I originally got an A2 Zero G a while back, but the pant were huge on me. Managed to get some A1 estillo pant in their sale a while back, and I'm wondering if an A1 jacket will fit me better than the current one I have as the sleeves are a bit long. I've got really short arms & legs, but I'm about 5'8" / 67Kg.

I wear A1 Tatamis, they have longish arms that's why I like them cos I have long arms for my height (167cm) and weight (58Kg). Like you, I can get away with an A2 but look at the overlap on the jacket, see how much excess material you have (unless you are very portly). A good fitting gi should have an overlap that just about reaches the oppposite hip bone and certainly not have lapels that bow outwards (due to excess overlap material) thus giving your opponent an easy gripping opportunity. Hence I suggest an A1 for you and wash it cold.
