Yeah, too bad. Gracie Barra is pretty strict about their uniforms, just white right? And you have to have their patches, I think. In Hawaii at Todd Tanaka's place you can wear any color but you got to patch your gis. I will not patch my shoyoroll unless I was going to compete in it. Only white if Relson is giving a seminar. Todd is cool though and the best price around.
Yeah, they only run slightly longer in the sleeve and pant length everything else is pretty much like a Koral. You probably should have got a A2 and shrunk it down if you needed to but maybe this batch will run a little bigger in the A1s if not you can always sell it or trade for an A2. Shoyorolls mainly shrink in the chest and stomach, not too much in the length. If your arms are not too long and plan on losing some weight it might work for you.
I am pretty sure it is since it is just black and the patches are in all the right places in terms of the IBJJF rules. You can always just email Shoyoroll they will know for sure.
The C. Lew A2 came in yesterday. Fits perfect, almost tailored made to my body. I did a vinegar soak and washed it. Can't wait to use it on sunday!
You guys were right, the A1 was tight. Sold it to my coach. Just purchased an A2 Charles Lew, can't wait!
Expect a review of the Vulkan ProLight soon and maybe the new Origin gi 2013 edition in April if I decide to order it.

@valetudo025 I am 5"8 180 and i had an A1 the count and it was a little tight on me. Length was perfect but was tight
I like a little looser fit in the shoulders and chest but sounds like A1 is gonna work for you.
I am 5 '8" and around 195 right now and just starting the weight loss process. I am not doing jits until Sept. 1st so I am a fat slob right now.
I see you got an A2, what are your measurements? i'm 5'8 175 and just ordered an A1 RIO KOI hoping it fits! I heard they run big.
Let me know how the Charles Lew works out for you in the A2.

I find it so messed up that my professor Kayron is sponsored by Shoyoroll but I can't where my Shoyoroll Gi to class
