April 10, 201511 yr As a large Karateka, 42'' waist but it was 50 thanks karate!!!I have found size 8 to be perfect. I am 6'3 and I do need to tailor it but really it isn't that bad. a Brand the fellow may like is century. Century is designed for the western body type and I have found that when I was larger they did the best. Just a video of my size change th gi I am wearing is my KI mugen this is a very long video watch if you like but the first part shows me sorry for such a long vid. http://www.centurymartialarts.com/Uniforms/Complete_Uniforms/10_oz_Super_Middleweight_Brushed_Cotton_Uniform.aspxOSU!
July 9, 201511 yr You're student is only an inch shorter than I and about the same size as I was when I first started martial arts (I used to wear 52inch jeans). I ordered from Oddessy Martial Arts Supply and, while the uniform needed to be hemmed length wise, they fit and have held up fantastically over the years. I got a size 10 from them, and still use one of them more than once a week. Go size 10 for him because they will shrink in the first handful of washes. A 9 wont cut it long term. You'll have to talk to them to see if they'll ship international, but I can't see why they wouldn't. http://oddessy.com/supplies-equipment/uniforms-equipment/size-charts/ "The key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering."
