This is my first post on the forums, and after extensive research I can't seem to find any resolution to my issue. I'm a short guy about 5'9 and 215lbs solid. I just returned a very nice white Fuji Kassen gi in the recommended size of A3 which was super tight, digging heavily into my armpits and barely closing across my chest pre-wash. I went ahead and ordered a blue Koral MKM Competition gi (A3) willing to spend a little more on what I was told would be a sure thing for wider midget sized people. Anyway I got the gi and have no complaints of the quality. The pants fit to perfection, but the sleeves on the top cover my thumb with my arms down and there's significant bunching in the shoulder area by the patches. The size chart for Koral says (A2) 5'8-6'0/155-190 and (A3) 5'11-6'2/190-220 on Korals website but on the site I ordered from (mmaoutlet) it says (A3)200-250. Is it possible for someone with my body type to fit into an (A2) that supposedly maxes out at 25lbs lighter then my weight? I've heard Korals are not shrinkable and that they run large. PLEASE HELP!! If I spend any more on shipping I'd pretty much be buying a $300 Gi.
 
Thanks for the link. I still couldn't really find a straight forward answer though.
