I have a Koral MKM and i love it to death. Also have a Koral classic and its pretty much the same. I wash mine in hot water and dry them and they only shrunk a tiny bit. I definitely recommend the Koral if you dont mind dropping the extra cash.

On the plus side, they offer "X" sizes for bigger people, e.g. A3X if you're nominally an A3 but maybe a bit heavier.

I have a Gold, Silver (discontinued), and the Blue, and they have all been rock solid. I don't really like their pants that much, they seem to wear out quickly and the ties are a bitch to loosen once you sweat into them.

For a less know brand, i'd highly reccomend Warrior One.. I bought a blue and a white double weave on a 2for 1 special about a year afo and they are still going string.
they have a really nice sleeve cut, but my fave feature is the collar which is really thick and comfortable. the dye on my blue one has faded a little, but for build quality and price (i think i paid $150US for the two) i really cant complain.

Personally i kind of like having a different brand from the million other guys out there, although no doubt theres some quality gi's out there.

Try a Spartan A5 - They seem to be really good Gi's for thin people. I wear an A3 and Im 5'10. Plus they are only 99 bucks.
