Consumer question for gi purchase

I'm on the verge of buying a new gi, but don't feel like paying 100 + dollars for something that will either shrink and become too small or with way too long sleeves that trap your hands. Getting a gi that fits well has been really hard for me previously. First some info...
- I'm between 6'3-6'4 tall (192 cms)
- weight: around 187 lbs
- My previous gis have been a blue atama gold weave size A4 (too large) and a white atama gold weave size A3 (perfect before washing hot but shrunk by about an inch or two at the wrists and ankles afterwards).

Looking at the size charts of most gi companies, A4 gis are made for people with my length but a much heavier build (220-255 lbs).

Anybody with a similar body type (lanky) that has a gi with a good fit, be it Keiko, Atama or Koral, please let me know.

Thanks.
