How I Shrink My BJJ Gi

[@onerider808]

Seems to make sense to me - if the gi is gonna shrink, do it early, and in a semi-controlled fashion. How many sizes larger do you buy when doing this method?

[@josamed5809]

Couldn’t agree more. Best shrink even before first used. But from my experienced, I have manage twice to shrink black gis just right after first used. My gi size is basically the smallest at A0 😅

After 10 years I just bought a new gi and the top is huge. Fingers crossed that this’ll work.

[@josamed5809]

Hopefully it’ll work out well for you 😉

Did it work ?

[@Jiu-JitsuJourney257]

@@gloriousss.6832 I’m between an A2 and A3 but even the L and H variations don’t fit so it sucks. Being tall and lanky is tough. The pants are fine but the tops are always huge.

​@@Jiu-JitsuJourney257 tall and lanky for you. And short, stocky, compact for me so that doesn't help either 😂

Will it work if for big size difference like a3-a0? 😭

[@josamed5809]

I doubt it will shrink that much. Usually i would say for a size down would be possible. 😅
