How much do Sirius Gi's shrink?

I am 6'0, 195-200 and just got an A4 Gi from them. I am pretty much swimming in the top, havent tried the pants yet.

Anyone have any info on how much it will shrink? Or should I return it and get an A3?

They are prone to shrinking, A training partner of mine who is around 5'11 ended up selling his to another training partner who is around 5'7 and about 30lbs lighter.

I'd change for the bigger one.

Yeah I washed my samurai one about 5 times now and the shrinkage is hardly noticable.

Send it back. They got excellent customer service.

I'm 6', 230. When I got my Sirius A4, it was WAY too huge for me. It took many washing and drying cycles to get it to fit right. Why don't you try an A3?
