Keiko Raca White 2009 Limited Edition Gi (with pictures and measurements)
Ok. This will be my first time to write a review for a Gi. So please bear with me.

I got my Keiko 2009 Limited Edition White Gi last week. I'm 5'10" 175lbs and ordered an A3. Right off the bag, the gi was a bit baggy so I warm washed it and air dried it and it fit perfectly. I used the gi twice already so i have washed it twice. The second wash was on cold water and air dried.

Unfortunately though, I did not get the pre-shrunk measurements. After the warm wash I would say the gi shrunk at least 2 inches. Pre-shrunk, the sleeves was a good 2-3 inches above my wrist. Here are pictures of the gi.

Looking at the picture I posted...

When you say far tip are you talking about the left-side-top of the tag measuring all the way to the right sleeve tip?

Better yet...lay the gi flat like in a "T" shape.
Then measure from sleeve cuff to sleeve cuff....thus not having to worry about centre point. This is the most true measure.
