Dobbersky Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 It sounds like you may need to get one made to order. I've never seen a Gi bigger than a 6 supplied by the suppliers I use.I would recommend contacting the manufacturer direct or getting one made in Japan of good quality cotton 14/16oz so it will last you a long time.Sorry I can't help any furtherOsu "Challenge is a Dragon with a Gift in its mouth....Tame the Dragon and the Gift is Yours....."

bushido_man96 Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 You might try getting one taylor-made for you. Take one of your older ones to the taylor, so they can get an idea for the pattern, and then have them size you up for you. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G95champ Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 Yeah its not a huge deal but after about 30mins of kata or sparring It keeps comming out so I just leave it out lol.If we do basics I got time to adjust it between sets.Its not that I care just looks unprofessional lol (General George S.

The BB of C Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I've seen some shotokan practicioners wear uniform tops that went down to their knees for this exact same reason. Try searching in that direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnASE Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 At 6'1", 330#, I'd be surprised if you found any size 7 gi that fit you well. I would go with at least a size 8 or size 9. Size 8 isn't too hard to find here in the US. There are few gis that come in size 9.If you haven't already, you should try a tournament cut gi. The jackets are cut longer and the sleeves are shorter than standard cut. Of course, you can't assume anything about sizing a gi online, Check sizing charts if available. Some gis are cut on the narrow side. That's not likely to work well for you.I see you list yourself as FSKA. I assume that's Funakoshi Shotokan Karate Association. A lot of Shotokan practitioners like Tokaido brand gis. I think the Tokaido Ultimate is cut a little on the narrow side, in both the tournament cut and standard cut. The Tokaido Kaminari and Tokaido Kumo are cut fuller and are available in tournament cut size 8.I'll shoot you a PM.

Shoto4Life Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Try https://www.juka.com - They 10oz tournament cut dragon brand gi is top notch. Jacket is longer and shouldnt have to cut arms down. Its the same cut as the germany kamikaze europe cut which they actually make. However its mucho el cheaper. Just ask for jacket lengths and or check their size charts.

concrt Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 G95champ,One place you could try is a small maker of gis called Anshin. They aren't cheap, but no more than Shuriedo or Tokiado. They are made in the USA and will custom make one for you. Good stuff and they make different tops that are different lengths. Just a thought. The web page is https://www.worldpath.net/~anshin/ It's a small company that makes things to order. Rick. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
