The measurements below are those of the garment, taken flat and after washing. They let you compare with a gi you already own, which remains the most reliable method.<\/p>
Sleeve span<\/p>
Cuff to cuff, jacket laid flat, sleeves extended.<\/p><\/div><\/div>
Jacket length<\/p>
From the base of the collar to the bottom hem, down the centre of the back.<\/p><\/div><\/div>
Chest width<\/p>
Armpit to armpit, jacket laid flat. This is the measurement that determines room across the shoulders.<\/p><\/div><\/div>
Pant length<\/p>
From the top of the waistband to the leg opening, along the outer seam.<\/p><\/div><\/div>
Waist width<\/p>
Width of the waistband laid flat. The drawstring allows adjustment either way.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
They keep a width close to the standard size and lengthen the jacket, the sleeves and the pants. They are made for lean builds, at a comparable weight.<\/p>
For example: at 178 cm and 72 kg, the A1L<\/b> gives 2 cm more jacket and 2.5 cm more pant length than an A1, without widening the chest.<\/p><\/div>Between two sizes<\/h3>Take the smaller one if you are stocky, the larger one if you are lean. If your weight exceeds the range for your height, go for the larger size: room across the shoulders matters more than length.<\/p>Still unsure?
