Hey, Van!
Lately I've been getting "self defense" gis from Kwon because they can be used for grappling and yet aren't as bulky as a judo gi.
I haven't been happy with the fit of a gi for a while. I understand they get their Shureido gis individually tailored on Okinawan. I may have to resort to that. Unfortunately my tailor complains that my gis break her needles.

Here are the charts...Van Canna wrote:BillA word of warning...I wear size 5 1/2 in most gi brands, but size 4 in Kwon. They are sized quite differently. Read the charts.
An old post of yours...circa 1999...does it still hold?

Do you still wear size 4, Bill?

Van,
You may have already come across this, but here was a discussion about gis from 2003 that might provide some useful info.
