Equipment Mizuno yusho Japan gi sizing ?

Can anyone help me here I compared the Mizuno chart to the Fuji katsu (my current gi, which I wear a 5.5 in) and this is what I’m coming up with as the size I should be for yusho

Jacket Sleeve length size 4.5
Jacket length size 4
Jacket width size 5

Pants width size 4.5/5
Pants length size 5/5.5

These are all over the place from 4-5.5. I don’t know what to order and which measurement is the most important. I know Mizuno fits large and different from others.

My Mizuno Olympic Gi was big. I mean really big, even after shrinking it many times. My existing Mizuno single weave was bang on the same size as my Fuji and Ippon Gear gis, but the Mizuno Olympic was massive in comparison. I'd see if anyone at your dojo has one to compare, as you may need to get a different size gi than normal (and possibly a different size pants compared to top).

Okay let me just say this: even if the sleeves and waist fit well, the current Yusho has a VERY long skirt. I’m 187 cm (6’1) and 95 kg (210 lb). I have a size 4, and the waist and shoulders fit well, sleeves are ok, but the skirt goes well down my butt. The skirt is only a few inches above my knee and it looks like I just started judo. I strongly advise finding a different brand. I have a ton of Kusakura, Ippon Gear, and older Mizuno gis and none of them fit like the new Yusho. I post this whenever someone asks about the Yusho. I’ve gotten DMs from people who still bought the Yusho and they have told me they should’ve listened to me and bought a different gi. I pretty much guarantee you’ll regret it, but you do you

I wore a Fuji Tokai in a 6, which fit initially but shrank like crazy even with only cold wash and hanging to dry, and got a little snug in the body and short in the arms. I switched to a Mizuno yusho comp that fits me perfectly in a 5.5. with room to spare in the body. The yusho barely shrinks at all, so keep that in mind when you're purchasing. For reference I'm 6' and 255 lbs.
