So Im a big dude 6'0 300 lbs and so finding gi was alittle bit of a challenge but i found koral a5 gi. im thinking that i should have got the a4 this gi is huge pants are slightly long and the jacket is massive and sleeves are long. I found that it is amazing the size difference in gi companies.
 
sorry i forgot to add anyone know of a big man shorts for rollin having trouble finding those 2.
 
I have 3 A4s and I am roughly your size, slighly lighter but 2-3 inches taller

one of them has got pants that are abit too small(I am the dude in white)

the orange part with the print on the side is very elastic and the groin is also elastic
 
15 pounds tops

that guy was well over 2 meters tall
 
Check out Padilla & Sons..excellent gi, very affordable >$100 and he has A5 & A6. I'm 6'0 270 and I got an A5 gold weave that I had to shrink. Still going after 2+ years. The customer service is beyond outstanding.

Joe told me he sold a gi to a customer who weighed over 300+ pounds.
 
I wear the koral light in black and in A4. I'm about 6'3 and as heavy sometimes as 275. My chest girth is about 54 inches. It fits great. I have sort of short legs, and the pants are easy to get hemmed at a laundry place. The koral light in white does not have the same fit. There's nothing crappier than having a gi too big. You feel like you're 10 years old wearing clothes you're supposed to "grow into".
 
Two meters is close 6'6" I should know because I am 199cm and i usually say I am 6'5" or 6'6". I have been close to 290lbs recently and I found an Atama A5 to be big the HCK to be just right)
 
hmm yeah bee in that vid what kind of gi do u have and what size is it. I wish i could try on a koral a4 gi top!
 
Choke Em gi, an A4, very cheap gi

CHOKEM: GOLD WEAVE BJJ GI - WHITE

due to it having the Swedish flag on it it might be specific for Sweden I dunno
110 dollars when I do a currency converter but I assume shipping to Sweden and our high VAT adds some dollars to the price
 
and do u have a a4 koral gi? because i looked in the mirrior and the shit looks like im wearing my dads gi top lol when people see me they think i weigh like 275 ( i wish maybe soon)
 
My other gi is a Rednose, perfect fit, third is a judo gi (and I have some more judo gis but they are too big now and not ideal for BJJ (I was 330 before)

(and yes I bought it because it had a cool pitbull logo)

In general I think it is easier to be slightly fat in a gi and have it fit lengthwise then having one that fits but is way too long

we are in the process of losing weight right? :p

I have a pair of Minowa type speedos/hotpants as motivational shorts for when I get down some more
 
I also think that koral gi's run big which is great for big guys most mma stuff runs kinda small
