Koral Gi Sizing Question?

Hi, I am new hear. I know this question has been posted hundreds of times, but I could not find anyone of them referring to my size. I am looking to buy a Koral MKM and I am 6-1/6-2 and weight 215lbs. I have a little bit of a muscular build(if that matters). I was told by jiujitsuprogear.com that I would probably be good in an A3 because they do not shrink. If anyone has any experience or could help, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

why would you trust a bunch of interwebbers rather than the vendor? I suggest A0.

I'm actually purchasing a Koral kimono today... I'm looking at A1 but want to make sure since nobody i know has A1 or A2.

5'6
148lb-156/60lb...rarely 160lb.

Will the A1 be for me or not?.. Please help, because i am used to A2, but lately i lost so much weight that the A2 from Bad boy is starting to be a little big. Not by much, but i just want to make sure the Koral will fit good and not be to small.

A4 will be too big. I am 6'4, 210, and while the length in the sleeve and pants is correct, I would need to gain about 50 pounds for the A4 to fit correctly. I don't understand why Koral makes gi's cut this way. It's like their model is obese.

I just tried on an A3 today and it was just a tad baggy on me at 5'10", 205 pounds. The sleeves went down to about the beginning of my thumb. Sounds like it would fit perfect for you.
