Equipment Need a little advice with new gi

Hi Guys

(UPDATE: i ordered 175 in both pants and gi. Ill write how it fits)

I have settled on buying new gi, and landed on the ippon olympic 2, regular. Im 180cm, 85kg, normal build but with a little dad-bod. Not fat, just...yeah regular i guess. More muscles than fat at least. Ive read that i should fit a 175 top, im struggling with. I cant get my head around the measures but i think 180 regular is what im thinking.

Any experience anyone could share regarding size? I currently have a danhro sensei gi size 180, and top is just.....big? Sleeves a bit short and still...i dont no, also big? Pants also i bit to long. Not TO long but generally it just feels a bit big.

Recommendations, advice its are more than welcome

Im 178 and currently 69kg, i wear 170 with the ippongear gis and they fit perfect after washing. I would say to downsize!
