I'm about to get a new gi. I'm currently 5'9" and 168 lbs, and thinking of getting a keiko raca gi, size A2. The problem I'm working out is that they say the A2 is good up to 5'10" and 176 lbs, but I've heard it shrinks ALOT. Any one out there have one? Should I get the A3 to be safe. I currently have a Judo gi that is way too big (Size 6, I used to be much bigger) and I want to stop giving guys easy handles to grab onto. Any info or input is appreciated. Thanks!

doesnt shrink that much.. Ill think youll be fine.
I have a keiko racca and like it alot.

drying your gi often is never a good idea

I'm thinking of getting the white gold weave, with the red trim at the bottom. I read on jokerjitsu that the red ran and turned one guy's gi pink, anyone else have that problem?

Not to keep my own thread going, but after researching the s*** out of the Keikos, I'm even more worried about the shrinking. If I get an A3 will I be able to shrink it down enough to fit me? I'm right near the top of the A2 range and I just don't want to waste my money. Thanks in advance for any replies.
