What size should I pick if i'm at bottom of the size chart for my body type and weight?

Since our gis run a little bigger, we usually recommend that you go down a size if you like your gi to be on the fitted side. Some people prefer to have their gi more on the loose side and in that case, we suggest to refer to the size chart.

Disclaimer: Fit is very important to us and making sure people get in the right size is our #1 goal. We give each customer our best opinion on what size we think he/she may be, with the details provided to us by a customer. There are always factors of different body types that we sometimes cannot account for in each recommendation. If you have any sizing questions, please email us at mike@holdfastfg.com. Be sure to include your weight and height, along with any other brands you currently use.
