A3W Gi Size: Height, Weight and Who It Fits

By All Around3 min readUpdated

Short answer: A3W fits 183–191 cm (6′0″–6′3″) and 100–111 kg (220–245 lb). It is the Wide cut of A3: the same lengths with more room through the chest and seat.

Against a plain A3 it is +4 cm jacket chest, +4 cm trouser waist. Everything else is identical to A3: jacket wingspan, jacket length, trouser length.

Where these sizes start, stop and overlap. Bands that share a weight range but not a height range are the ones people get wrong.

How to know it's you

If the jacket pulled across the back the moment you posted up or framed, the problem is width, not length. Sizing up adds length you did not need; A3W adds the width you did.

Is A3W you?

Two numbers and we’ll tell you straight, including when the answer is a different size.

The finished gi, measured flat

Wingspan is cuff to cuff, jacket length is collar to hem, chest is laid flat. These are the numbers the size is cut to, not an estimate from the chart.

If A3W is not quite it

A2W is the only step available in this cut. If the problem is that one half of you is a different size from the other, order it that way: a jacket in one size and trousers in another is a normal order here. About one gi in ten we shipped between 31 July and 29 September 2026 went out that way, and the mixed-size gi guide shows how to pick the pair.

And if no combination on the chart works, custom sizing is $189 and is cut to your measurements.

Size has nothing to do with legality, but fit does. The IBJJF measures sleeve and trouser length against your wrist and ankle with the arm extended, and a gi that is too short fails at weigh-in. The full requirements cover colour, fabric and the measurement rules.
