Sizing
F1W Gi Size: Height, Weight and Who It Fits
Updated
Short answer: F1W fits 158–166 cm (5'2"–5'5") and 60–72 kg (132–159 lb). It is the Women's Wide cut of F1: the women's cut with more room through the chest and hips.
Against a plain F1 it is +2 cm jacket chest, +2 cm trouser waist. Everything else is identical to F1: jacket wingspan, jacket length, trouser length.
F1W against its neighbours
| Size | Cut | Height | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| F1W | Women's Wide | 158–166 cm | 60–72 kg |
| F1 | Women's | 158–166 cm | 50–62 kg |
| F1L | Women's Long | 166–174 cm | 52–64 kg |

| F2W | Women's Wide | 164–172 cm | 68–82 kg |
How to know it's you
Same women's cut as F1, with room added through the chest and hips rather than length. If the jacket has pulled across the back or the trousers have been tight over the hips while the lengths were right, F1W is the one.
Is F1W 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.
| Measurement | F1W | F1 | F1L | F0W | F2W |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jacket wingspan | 142 cm | 142 cm | 146 cm | 136 cm | 146 cm |
| Jacket length | 66 cm | 66 cm | 69 cm | 63 cm | 69 cm |
| Jacket chest | 50 cm | 48 cm | 48 cm | 50 cm | 54 cm |
| Trouser length | 90 cm | 90 cm | 94 cm | 85 cm | 94 cm |
| Trouser waist | 52 cm | 50 cm | 52 cm | 50 cm | 56 cm |
If F1W is not quite it
Step down to F0W or up to F2W if the band is wrong on weight. 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. It is the option we ship most after the plain A-sizes, which tells you how many people the standard grid does not fit.
And if no combination on the chart works, custom sizing is $189 and is cut to your measurements.
Is F1W IBJJF legal?
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.
