Start with A2 for standard proportions, A2L when extra arm or leg length is your main need, A2H when your height fits A2 but your weight is above the regular A2 range, and A3 when you need both a taller height range and more overall room.
This FUJI gi size guide recommends comparing FUJI’s sleeve-to-sleeve and pant outseam measurements with a gi that already fits you when two sizes appear possible. Do not depend on washing or machine drying to create the correct fit.
Official FUJI A2, A2L, A2H and A3 Size Comparison
A2 is the standard reference size, A2L adds published sleeve and pant length, A2H covers a higher body-weight range within the A2 height band, and A3 covers a taller and heavier standard range.

| Size | Height | Weight | Sleeve-to-sleeve | Pant outseam | Best starting use |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A2 | 5’5″–5’9″ | 140–170 lbs | 64″ | 38″ | Standard proportions within the regular A2 range. |
| A2L | 5’10″–6’0″ | 140–170 lbs | 66″ | 41″ | Tall or long-limbed buyers who remain in A2’s weight range. |
| A2H | 5’5″–5’9″ | 170–190 lbs | 67″ | 37.5″ | Shorter, heavier or stockier buyers within the A2 height range. |
| A3 | 5’9″–6’1″ | 170–200 lbs | 67″ | 39″ | Taller and heavier buyers who need more overall size. |
- A2L has a published 41-inch pant outseam, which is longer than A3’s published 39-inch measurement.
- A2H and A3 both list a 67-inch sleeve-to-sleeve measurement.
- FUJI’s public standard chart does not provide complete chest, waist, hip, seat or thigh widths.
- A2H has a higher body-weight range than A2, but the chart does not show exactly how much additional width is provided in each area.
A2 vs A2L vs A2H vs A3: Which Size Should You Choose?
Choose according to the specific problem you normally experience: standard fit, insufficient length, insufficient body room or a need for both additional height and weight capacity.
FUJI Gi Sizes by Height, Weight and Body Build
Standard-proportion buyers should normally start with A2, tall and light buyers with A2L, shorter and heavier buyers with A2H, and taller, heavier buyers with A3.
These are chart-based starting points, not guaranteed individual fits.
| Height and weight or build | Starting size | What to verify before washing |
|---|---|---|
| 5’8″, 155 lbs with standard proportions | A2 | Confirm the sleeves and pants are not already borderline short. |
| 5’11”, 160 lbs with a lean build | A2L | Check jacket overlap and excess room through the torso. |
| 5’8″, 180 lbs with a stocky build | A2H | Test the chest, waist, seat and thigh area through movement. |
| 6’0″, 185 lbs | A3 | Confirm that the 39-inch published pant outseam is long enough. |
| 5’9″, 170 lbs with a lean build | A2 or A3 | Compare your current gi’s sleeve, pant and jacket length. |
| 5’9″, 170 lbs with a muscular or stocky build | A2H or A3 | Prioritize shoulder movement, jacket overlap and thigh room. |
| 6’0″, 170 lbs with long legs | A2L | A2L’s published pant outseam is longer than A3’s. |
| Broad chest with a narrower waist | Model-dependent | A larger jacket may create excessive material at the pant waist. |
| Large thighs or seat | Model-dependent | Ask FUJI for additional pant measurements before ordering. |
Do All FUJI Gi Models Fit the Same?
No. Always confirm the sizing chart and cut shown on the exact FUJI model page before choosing A2, A2L, A2H or A3.
| FUJI model | Chart or cut | What it means for sizing |
|---|---|---|
| All Around | Standard FUJI men’s size chart | Use the regular A2, A2L, A2H and A3 height, weight and garment-length measurements. |
| Suparaito | Standard FUJI men’s size chart | Use the standard chart, but still try the exact model before washing because construction and feel can differ. |
| Baseline 2.0 Slim Fit | Separate slim-fit chart and tapered cut | Do not automatically transfer your All Around or Suparaito size. FUJI suggests considering a larger size when more chest or midsection room is needed. |

How Much Can a FUJI Gi Shrink?
FUJI says its gis are preshrunk but may still shrink by up to one inch when cold washed and hang dried. Machine drying can produce additional shrinkage.
- FUJI describes its gis as preshrunk.
- Cold washing and hang drying are recommended.
- Up to one inch of shrinkage may still occur.
- Wash water should be no hotter than 104°F.
- Tumble drying can cause additional shrinkage.
Do not depend on washing or machine drying to create the correct size.
A jacket and its pants may not shrink equally, and the final result cannot be controlled precisely. Washing also normally prevents the gi from remaining eligible for a direct FUJI return.How to Measure and Test a FUJI Gi Before Washing
Measure a gi that already fits you, compare its sleeve and pant lengths with FUJI’s chart, and perform a complete movement test while the new gi remains clean, tagged and unwashed.
Measurement worksheet
| Measurement | Your current gi | FUJI size considered | Available from FUJI |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sleeve-to-sleeve | _____ in | _____ | Published as measurement A |
| Jacket chest width | _____ in | _____ | Ask FUJI |
| Jacket body length | _____ in | _____ | Ask FUJI |
| Pant outseam | _____ in | _____ | Published as measurement B |
| Pant inseam | _____ in | _____ | Ask FUJI |
| Pant waist width | _____ in | _____ | Ask FUJI |
| Thigh width | _____ in | _____ | Ask FUJI |
Pre-wash movement test
- Wear the same base layer you normally use during training.
- Extend both arms forward and check whether the sleeves are already close to being too short.
- Raise both arms overhead and check for pulling across the shoulders and armpits.
- Close the jacket and confirm that both sides overlap without excessive strain.
- Perform a deep squat and test the waist, seat, hips and thighs.
- Sit in a guard position and check whether the pants rise excessively.
- Confirm that the pant cuffs and sleeves still provide enough allowance for possible shrinkage.
- Keep the tags and packaging attached until you make your final decision.
Can You Return or Exchange a FUJI Gi That Does Not Fit?
A direct FUJI purchase may generally be returned within 90 days, but the gi must remain unwashed, unused in training, clean, tagged and in resellable condition.
- Try the gi on indoors without training in it.
- Do not wash, dry or alter it while deciding.
- Keep the original tags and packaging.
- Keep your proof of purchase.
- The customer normally pays return shipping.
- Outlet, final-sale or otherwise excluded promotional items may not be returnable.
What Should You Check Before Ordering a FUJI Gi?
Confirm the exact model chart, compare measurements with a gi that fits, check return eligibility and avoid washing the new gi until the size is confirmed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I choose FUJI A2H or A3 if I am stocky?
Start with A2H when your height remains within 5’5″–5’9″. Compare A3 when you also need its taller height range or longer published pant outseam. Because FUJI does not publish full chest, waist and thigh widths, measure carefully before ordering.
Which FUJI size is best for long arms or long legs?
A2L is the strongest starting point when your weight fits A2 but regular sleeves or pants are repeatedly too short. FUJI lists A2L with a 66-inch sleeve-to-sleeve measurement and a 41-inch pant outseam. FUJI size chart
Is FUJI A2H wider than A2?
A2H is designed for a higher published weight range, but FUJI’s public chart does not show exactly how much wider it is. The standard chart does not provide complete chest, waist, hip or thigh widths, so ask FUJI for additional garment measurements when those areas are your main concern.
Should I size up when I am between two FUJI gi sizes?
FUJI recommends choosing the larger category when height and weight fall into different chart ranges. Before sizing up automatically, compare the larger size’s sleeve and pant measurements with a gi that already fits, because the larger option may create unnecessary length or excess material. FUJI sizing guidance
Are FUJI A2L pants longer than A3 pants?
Yes, according to FUJI’s standard men’s size chart. A2L has a published 41-inch pant outseam, while A3 has a published 39-inch pant outseam. FUJI size chart
How much will a FUJI gi shrink after washing?
FUJI says up to one inch of shrinkage may occur even with cold washing and hang drying. Machine drying can cause additional shrinkage, so do not rely on the dryer to turn an oversized gi into the correct size. FUJI care guidance
Final Verdict: A2, A2L, A2H or A3?
Choose A2 for standard proportions, A2L when extra length is the main need, A2H when your height fits A2 but your body weight is higher, and A3 when you need both a taller range and more overall room.
- Choose A2: standard height, weight and limb proportions.
- Choose A2L: taller or longer-limbed while remaining within A2’s weight range.
- Choose A2H: within A2’s height range but above its regular weight range.
- Choose A3: taller, heavier or in need of more overall garment size.
When you are on a chart boundary, the safest approach is to compare FUJI’s published garment lengths with a gi you already own, try the new gi on without training in it and make the final decision before washing.
