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

Just remember that 0000,000,00,0, and size 1 usually are for kids to pre-teen.

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!
