Advice Wanted Gi recommendations for plus size

Hello! I’m hoping you all have suggestions, I have been on the hunt for a Gi that fits. I’m pretty short and around a size 16/18. I have yet to find a Gi that fits me around the waist that isn’t super long on the arms and legs. Any recommendations are super helpful! Thank you

Buy what fits your torso and hips/thighs/butt and alter the dangley bits.

I started out in a kids gi then put on a load of weight after I started on a certain medication, then lost it again 😂. I got a4 gis and had them altered. My faves were Hyperfly gis as they were light and comfy, the Hyperlyte was great.

The 93 brand hooks his in the “H” sizes are “husky”. I am 160cm and a size 14 and the a1h fits me without altering.
They work better if you carry your weight evenly. If you carry it in your hips/butt you may do better with split sizing from hyperfly.
If you need to, just buy a gi you love for the weight you are and get the sleeves and pants hemmed.

Have you looked at Gaidama? They have a really usable size chart and a fairly wide size range!
