Heres my sizes for HCK gis.
I am 5'10" 180lbs. Muscular build.
I bought a size 5 gi. The jacket was great, the pants were HUGE. I sent the pants back and got a size 4 pants. PERFECT PERFECT PERFECT.
For me a HCK, size 5 jacket and size 4 pants, is the best fitting gi I've ever had.
edit: if you 5'8" do not get size 5 pants. believe me, you dont want pants that you may step on. if anything you want your pants to be on the short side. Order a size 4 pants.

Thanks for your response.
Howard himself recommended a size 5 for me. While I think you may be right that they will be long, my primary concern with the pants is how much room I'll have in the thighs. I have torn several pairs of pants thus far, particularly while taking drop steps/shooting. For that reason, I am thinking that I should get larger pants and have the length trimmed, rather than have them be too tight.
