There should be a sizing chart in the book or on the page you are looking at.

| Take a good look at the size chart because the are sometimes very different for different brands of gi's. Most often a size chart will go by height and weight. |

Even with a chart, you can go wrong. I wear a 5 1/2 in Shureido or Meijin, but a 6 in tokaido (remeber, christmas is coming!  ).

| Tokaido does seem to be sized for thinner people. It does seem that there are some brands that run bigger in the waist than others at the "same" size. |

Believe me, I understand. I have the "Naha-te" build (stocky, yet short arms and legs), therefore I always end up having to have sleeves and pant-legs shortened. According to my height (5'5") I should wear a 3!
