Gi Fit Checklist

Start with your measurements, then check the chart for the exact gi you want. A size label alone cannot tell you whether the jacket and trousers will work for you.

1. Record your starting point

Use the units requested by the manufacturer. Measure again if your previous numbers are estimates.

Height / units

Current body weight / units

Current gi brand, model and size (if you have one)

What fits well? Where does it restrict movement or feel too loose?

2. Compare exact models

Check whether the chart describes body size or garment measurements. If the brand supplies garment dimensions, follow its diagram and measurement method; do not compare differently measured numbers.

I used the chart for this model and customer range, not another brand’s chart.If I fall between sizes, I checked the brand’s guidance or asked it about my measurements.I checked any washing or wear restrictions on returns before changing the garment.

3. Check the fit before changing it

With the gi on, I can move through comfortable training positions without obvious binding.I checked the jacket, trouser waist and leg length separately.I read the actual care label. I am not relying on deliberate shrinking to fix a poor fit.For competition, I checked the organizer’s current uniform requirements separately from everyday fit.

Decision: keep, exchange, or ask the brand about
