Ordered an A4 by using the sizing guide. I'm usually an A3, but A4 said XL, and I'm an XL for all my other Origin gear - and all my other gear fits like a dream.
Upon getting this gi, I was swimming in it. No worries, ga e it a wash and hung it to dry - no change. Washed it warm and tumbled low - no change. Washed it hit and tumbled it on high- no change.
I'm pretty disappointed. After waiting 2+ weeks from ordering to shipping, I'm left with a gi that I can't wear. And all for a price that would have let me buy 4 gis from competitors. The material of the top and pants and perfect and buttery soft, but when they get wet (with sweat) the material stretches out even more drastically.
I could pay another $100 to have it tailored and make it functional, but I've been assured that the double/triple stitch construction wouldn't be the same, and therefore, a little less well-constructed. Not to mention the panel construction of the jacket isn't conducive to tailoring.
This was a gift from my wife, and I've worn it to one class. Will think twice about ordering gis from Origi. Again. This was an expensive lesson to learn to stick to their no gi gear.
