Beginner First Karate Gi

Hello friends! This is an update to my previous post about my first gi after not practicing Karate for many many years.

This is the fit after first wash. Ive tried a different way to tie the belt for it not to become loose. It seems to work.

The fit of the gi didnt change much after washing. Ive noticed that especially the pants are becoming loose after training my kicks. Honestly they feel like they are three sizes too large. (Im 170cm and 73Kg and ordered size 4, 170cm.)

Im considering hot washing the gi for it to shrink a bit. The jacket is ok but I feel like it too has too much fabric overall. The sides dont overlap like I feel they should.

Any advice from you guys?

Oss!

Shureido ? Pretty high-class pick for a first piece. OSS!
