Bold Look sells uniforms up to a size 12 (7x), but I would guess you would need around an 8 or so.

Bold Look is what I sell to my students, but you are supposed to be an instructor to get uniforms from them.
Is it going to be a heavyweight, middleweight, or lightweight? The heavier the uniform the bigger the size you will need. I am guessing that you need a 7 or 8. I am 6'3" and weigh about 220-225 and I wear between a 6 and 7.

Yeah, I'm a chuby man but I'm figthing this, I just did blood tests and colesterol and triglicerids are a little high so right now I'm on diet (precribed by a Doctor) and doing exercise. I have loose some pounds let me tell you! My dobok is a Mooto Extera size 210 (I guess 7) that I cut sleevs and legs to fit me, this dobok was the minimum acceptable because of my wide body, but now it's a little loose so I'm loosing weigth.
I would like to reach 210 lbs, the last time my doctor check my weight I was 270 lbs, we are talking about 60 lbs of overweight, it's not going to be easy, but right now I'm motivated. My wife is helping me doing me my meals as the doctor said and I'm trying to adhere to this meal regimen.
I can say I've been cutting by half my food intake and I'm not having any kinds of snacks, some times I feel fine some times I feel terrible cause I love to eat.

Kwon uniforms are cut large, so they might work for you after some alterations. http://www.kwonusa.com[url]. Whene...ight. A lot of bang for your buck, er, peso.

At 6'3" tall and now down to 225 lbs, I say get a size 7. I was at 260 lbs when I started again and a 7 fit nicely. I just had to hem the pants a little bit on my Vneck, where my Tokaido fits more like a traditional Karategi, with the hem being just above the ankle.
Dynamics make great uniforms and they are fairly cheap.

Yes. I already have a Mooto Xtera dobok, and want a new uniform but this time a white karategi for he following reasons: a) Because I want a karetegi I like it more than a dobok, b) because I will use this karategi when my dobok is in the washing machine, c) because I will take karate lessons, or Aikido Lessons to round up my TKD.
