Can the sizing of the white mamba be compared with the golden state?
I've noticed the same stitching issues on my goldenstate and a training partners white mamba. Previous shoyoroll owners have said their stitching was perfect so I wasn't very pleased.

The Mamba is a bit bigger than the Golden State. The GS also shrank a little more. My GS fits perfectly and is the gi I compete in. My Mamba is a tad bit bigger and doesnot feel the same. Also, I agree. I think the GS pants are the PERFECT pants. The Mamba pants are still good, just not of the same caliber as the last. Here is my reviews of both the Golden State and the Mamba. You can also see my reviews of the Black Star (batch #4 as well as the 7th Son)

You would fit an A1 nicely

i've seen on multiple occasions where syr says their Gi's run large
there are plenty of other gi's that sell for the same or more that aren't preshrunk...

Personally I think a $160 gi should be preshrunk. Too much money to spend when you have to keep your fingers crossed that it'll fit. At the very least, SYR need to tighten up on the sizing and provide more guidance on fit/size, like providing basic measurements and shrinkage rates. Other companies can do this...
James
Yep, but what I don't get is why they then don't adjust the pattern and solve the issue.
Very true, and I think that's crap as well.
James
after washing or before?
I call B.S., I'm your size and the A2s are not that big. I can shrink them down and they fit great. I prefer a tighter gi so I get A1's. And it's not like you haven't seen on numerous threads/facebook of people saying their stats and what Gi size to get.
They're constantly answering questions on sizing, people should have it down by now.
When i order it , 6 month a go i didnt even know they got Facebook , so please a company like SYR need to make a Gis like should be , the size is way to big , i don't want to shrink it cause if it want shrink like i want ,i will not able to send it back to BUDO.
Il try to sell it .
By the way how much do you think it will shrink when i wear it i cant even see my fingers from the sleeves.
i don't see what needs adjusting...they run large. if you're at the bottom of their size chart for an A2, then go with an A1.
if all else fails, send them your measurements via facebook and you'll get an answer.

But if they're almost so large that they're an entire size up? Come on...
If I can buy an A1 in pretty much any other brand and it fit fine after regular washing, but with an SYR I have to boil the shit out of it to get it to even come close, then to me that's poor sizing. My A2 Fuji was smaller then the SYR.
Yep, Bear is always helpful, but he could save himself some work by either adjusting the sizing of the actual gis, or at the very least providing a bit more info regarding shrinkage etc. Sure, people will still ask questions, but it might at least save some people from being disappointed when their gi arrives and it fits them poorly.
James
I'm not trying to be a douche about it, but they put the sizing chart out there and they answer most questions on sizing. If they don't then other people who are the same size answer. They're not your typical GI company so you shouldn't expect them to be like everyone else. Also, if you know you're an A1 in every other brand, wouldn't you be an A0 in Shoyoroll Gi's? I'm an A2 in every other brand but I buy both A1's and A2's in Shoyoroll. Depends on if I want a training GI or a comp GI.
