Shoyoroll Charles Lew v3- Fat chance the sleeves will shrink 4-5in? (Updated w/ Pics)

Syr always lists what materials they used on the kimono.

All kimonos are not the same. They have been switching between tech and pearl weave for the last few batches.

Pants have been pretty random ripstop, poly blend, and drill cotton. Some have gussets some don't.

Gotcha. Appreciate the reply.

Google "sewing" where you live. People offer sewing service right from their house and its a pretty cheap way to get your gi to fit the way you want

Make sure it is someone recommended, and not some random asshole who has never done a BJJ GI before. Ask people who train at your academy; someone must have tailored a GI before. - E

Oh no! I wish you would've asked here first. I think the A2 would definitely have been the best bet for you. Or, I would just get it tailored. A good tailor will hem up the sleeves and the pants and you'll be good to go!

IF you are going to get it tailored, I would wash and wear it a few times first just so you don't get it tailored and then it shrinks down a bit more.

I'll be sure to do my research if I decide to go that route. I tried on the top again, yesterday, and my teammates think it will still be too big in the shoulders after shrinking it. (Whereas I was thinking it would be good in the shoulders after shrinking it.)

I agree, that an A2 would have been MUCH better on top, but I do need an A3 or A2H pants.

I read so many reviews, including the ones on your website, that my head was spinning! LOL Of the three I ordered, the Fenom was the only one that fit correctly thanks to their split sizing. (I ordered the Shoyoroll, the Break Point Beija Flor, and a Royal Blue Fenom.) As I posted on your FB, I don't know if I'm going to keep the BP or the Shoyoroll, and I am hoping the new women's Shoyoroll will have a wide range of sizes. I think I may keep the Lew brand new until I see what Shoyroll is going to offer up.

Pics to show fit:

Pants fit about perfect without shrinking. Hoping they won't shrink much! Definitely baggy on top. When I extend my arm out, there is a good 8+" of material between my armpit and the armpit of the gi.

[zomoplata]

I'd sell it, it's too big.

[Bellicose]

Holy shit.

Yeah, no saving that. Sell it and use the money to get the right size. A2 really should be the way to go.

Most definitely.

Don't bother with shrinking or tailoring. Swap for an A2 if you can. Even the pants are too baggy.
