93brand BRASILIA Spats

An alternative for when it is no longer grey sweatpants season. Good all year round.

Seriously, this is why no spats without a "crotch gusset" should be allowed to be called men's.

Inverted Gear Bamboo Gi - White

I bought an earlier bamboo blend from inverted gear. Here's how my A1S shrank after hot wash and hot drying. Wingspan went from 68" to 64". Skirt width went from 23" to 22". Shoulder to skirt went from 30-28". Pant length went from 38" to 36". Inseam went from 29-27.5. Leg opening started at 8", don't know how much smaller it got. Hope this helps.

Scramble Rainbow Spats

I'm a 30x30. Is small the right size?

Inverted Gear White Panda Jiu Jitsu Gi

I'm 5'8"-5'9" and 140 lbs. I saw the chart, but I've tried on an A1 before and it was too small. Anyone with experience with this gi know how it fits?

Inverted Gear CS Bamboo Gi

Apparently my post didn't go through before. I'm 5'8.5" 140 lbs and I got an A1 tall/slim and it fits well. Shrunk exactly to my size. I don't know how the different material will shrink, but my guess would be that A1 might be too small for you.

Inverted Gear Bamboo Gi - Black

I got an A1L in a previous version of their bamboo gi. I shrunk it, literally, in a pot of boiling water and a hot dryer session. The wingspan went from about 68" to 64". About a 3.5-4" difference. The width of the bottom of the skirt went from about 23" to 22" when laid flat. I found that this gi is bigger than my cotton gold weave inverted gi in the same size. Longer arms most notably. (The gold weave wingspan is 58" after shrinking). Hope this helps.

I'm an inch or so taller and a pound or two heavier with longer than average arms. With their older bamboo gi in a size A1L, the sleeves are even a bit long after shrinking in hot wash/dry . I'd guess A1.

@tonecapone I have two other inverted gear gis. A pearl weave from one of the first batches and a more recent gold. This has longer arms then the rest of them. Definitely more pliable than the pearl. Similar feel to the gold, but softer and maybe thicker. I'm 5'9" 150, but my wingspan is close to 6'. It fits almost like a bathrobe cause it's softer, but it's held up fine. I wash all of my gis hot and dry hot

I did a write up in a comment of the bamboo gis last time they posted one, about a month ago. I presently don't have access to the measurements I took.

I'm about the same and I got an A1t/s in an older version of the bamboo mix. It fits me pretty well, but the sleeves are a little long, despite a hot wash and hot dry. I also have long arms. A1 could work, but I've never tried that size from them, so I can't say with any certainty.
