Judo Gi for Tall, Slim people

Im looking to get my first good Gi (atm I have a crappy beginners one) and Im abit wary of getting the same as what I currently have just better material. My current Gi is maybe abit too long and definately too wide. I understand Judo Gis are generally made for stocky kind of guys but surely there is a brand that makes their Gis for the taller/slimmer kind of guys.

Thanks.

I'm 6"3 and lanky and I own a Fuji which fits well however as I said in other threads I think my next move is to find a bjj gi which will hold up to judo standards because of the fit issue

i'm 5'10 (not exactly very tall) and 170 lbs and the first gi i bought a was the mizuno single weave. it's around 60 bucks and has been one of the best gi tops i have ever owned. my only complaint is that the pants seem to be a bit cheap.

What size Mizuno single did you get? Did you shrink it in the dryer?
