lol, i'll never know this feel
>>42850225
Its a terrible feel
>>42850225
Good for you.
>>42849950
Is it only a one size difference? What are the sizes exactly?
>>42849950
Honestly depends on the brand. Try some peoples in your gym, see what works for you, ask if they shrunk them in the wash or not. Some brands have size options with shorter arms or legs that essentially act as fat boy gis. Don't go all out on your first one and get a top of the line competitors gi, go for something fairly cheap that works for you, after you've had it a bit you'll have a better understanding of the cut you want.

I want to get the Fuji since I saw another guy wear that and its a reasonable price for me to get one. I think $100 isnt too bad considering the other one Ive seen. I didnt want the female ones due to the fact that its more than if I just get the standard.

Go with the one more tailored towards your weight. Fuckers can shrink. But like the other guy said, if you can, try some on. Ask the instructor at the gym you're looking at going to.

Ok got it thanks, I guess I can tailor it myself once the shrinking is done and still a little too lomg
Fuji has good fit, and is a good value.
Are you looking at A1 v A2?
>>42851809
I want a A1 due to my size but I am afraid it wont fit me due to my weight being towards A2
[spoiler]I have a semi big chest and thick thighs[/spoiler] I was looking around Amazon and saw a Sanabul ones which are cheap as well.
