Help with Gi sizing - Page 2

So i washed this gi tonight after class and I did three 5 min intervals until i shrank it down some more. I did a 4th time and it did not shrink anymore. With my arm extended i have the sleeve just above my wrist bone so its a lot better now. The jacket didnt change much but it does feel a little tighter so i guess i got the right fit now.

I tried on my instructors A1 also and it seems pretty good (just short) but he's really short so the a1L might be perfect for me but what i didnt consider is my legs, I have pretty buff thighs and i dont think those a1L pants will be roomy enough for them. lol

i've been told that things that are wet shrink faster so you can try wetting down only the torso before drying it and see if that helps?
