A gi shrinks a lot when you wash and dry it. My first gi ever also was way too big, washed it at 90° and after that it fitted perfectly

yeah go with the v. hot wash - this caught me out last year too the last one I brought before that was 20 years ago, that only needed to shrink a few inches but the new ones are mahusive and need a hard boil down, but man they fit well once sorted.
