hi GZUS, whats your height and weight? I am thinking of getting an Isami as my next gi and was wondering whether to get a 5 or 5L... maybe indicating your dimensions may give an estimation on the size for me too.

Maybe kid dynamite can provide his height (and weight) too.

Hey Kid, thanks for recommending that site. I got the Badboy Isami gi. I ordered it last night, so I'll let everyone know how the gi is.

Does the gi shrink after every wash? or just once?
