Properly sizing my uniform

So what do you suggest for someone whose thick but tall as well? I weigh around 300 lbs but I'm around 6'2''. What do you suggest for me?

I think a size 7 is your best fit, but you'll have to make sure not to shrink it in the wash. A size 8 would also be comfortable.

I was thinking a size 8 would suffice,but I also didn't want my uniform to be to,baggy,for lack of a better word. If I wash it a certain way,shouldn't that take care of the excessive bagginess?

If you wash it in warm/hot water that will cause a little shrinking, and if you use spin dry that will cause even more shrinking. That being known, you can be strategic about how much you shrink it.

Is that size 7-8 suggestion for the top only or top and bottom of the uniform?

You'll have to rely on Google for that one John. Be sure to visit a few and watch their classes before committing.
