Middle weight/summer gi

[singularity6]

Hopefully helpful to others who may have this question in the future: I love my Meijin Tropical karate gi. The fabric is outstanding. At 5'10", 190lb, the size 5 fits perfectly with no alterations. I did get some shrinking (washed cold each time, line-dried) but nothing beyond what should be expected from 100% cotton that wasn't pre-shrunk.

I've seen the Meijin gis recommend quite a few times. I'd like to try one, if I've never seen one in person. I'm so difficult to fit for clothing (gis included), and I hate buying stuff sight unseen. I wish there was a section at a place like Dick's Sporting Goods that had racks of gis (good gis), equipment, etc. There's way too much online leap of faith equipment and uniform buying in MA.

I'm 5'10" tall, and just under 190lb (pushing about 2 months ago, which is the biggest I've been.) I've always been "thin" or "average" build. I'd say that the size would fit me even if I were 210lb. They definitely have a little room. Having half-sizes is also useful, and they will mix/match pant and kimono sizes, if needed!

Ultimately, I prefer the fit and quality to Century by a lot.
