Just got my new Koral gi! (Pics inside!)

And it's pretty.. pretty.. pretty good! But with the wierd ass size chart on their site I couldn't really determine which would fit me or whatever. Here's the pic of the sleeves of the gi on me. Do you guys think I shouild return it for the next size up assuming it will shrink to a nice snug size? Mind you since of my schedule and shit and where I live I can't hang dry so I put my clothes in the dryer and wash on hot. Shit, even the pants are a little on the tight side.

BTW I'm 5'8" and 160lbs.

That's the length of the sleeves with my arms resting by my sides.

Whoa..that is an odd chart.

I would bump it up to A2 and shrink it down a bit if you can. Any full shots of the gi?

If you're only washing w/ hot water, I would definitely go up a size before taking the chance of it shrinking. While I don't own any Koral gis myself, a fella I used to train with was a big fan of his Koral gi-- and I remember him saying that it was very form fitting, and had shrunk just just a bit.

Unless they changed their design, I would definitely get an A2. This is the size I got when i bought mine about 4 years ago. I'm 5'7" and 170 lbs.

In that case I would trade it for an A2
