Sizing help

^ go for a 1 dude, if anything VA pieces have a tendency to run big

Seconded, in general how do the Japanese shoe sizes 1,2,3... correspond to us shoe size?

Japanese sizes, in my experience, are not consistent from season to season. I have tried on Viridi-Anne shoes at Atelier and as a guide: 3 = 42 - 43, 2 = 40 - 41. If in doubt, ask to get measurements.

Hi all,

Seriously thinking of picking up drexl's CCP leather jacket. Was wondering if this will fit me well. It's a FW06 size 50.

Here are my body measurements:

Pit to pit: measured from the back = 15" across

Shoulder to shoulder: measured from the little bump on top at the end of the trap = 18" across

Sleeve: measured under side of armpit to wrist bone = 20" and pit to fingertip = 27" and from top of shoulder to fingertip = 31"

Chest: my torso around mid pec level is 41" - 42" all the way around. Using a YSL single button tux jacket from FW07 it's 19.5" across measuring 1" below the pit. This one's pretty fitted and I usually wear it unbuttoned.

Here are the jacket measurements:

20.75" pit to pit

20" chest (1" below armpit seam)

approx. 17.5" shoulders

approx. 28.5" sleeves

25.5" length from the collar seam to hem

Thanks!

I don't know, from pics of you I'm thinking it would be too big. You seem to be a big 46/slim 48 and this jacket looks like it runs pretty true to size

I think you're right for the most part. For blazers, I'm a XS in Ann D, 46 in YSL and Raf but I can't button them up w/o a weird kink in a lapel. That's because my chest is 41" - 42" around (that's with me not exercising for the last 7 months - once I start back up next week, my chest / back will grow another inch or 2 after a couple of months).

But blazers are open at the top and I'll probably want to zip this jacket up.

I wish I had less of a genetic tendency to "V" out since it's hard to fit into these stylish tops!

Bottom line is that it sounds like a bit of a gamble...

Do you live anywhere near a stockist by any chance so you an try one on? If not, maybe try on a zip-up leather jacket by another label that's also cut pretty slim, see what size fits you best and maybe measure it for reference (I'd say it's about the same size as a Rick Owens large in his normal moto jackets, not the knit insert racing blousons though).

I'm thinking about getting these gloves

but I'm unsure of sizing. The fingertips look rather boxy and big, and i have slender fingers, does anyone know how these things fit?

RO two toned leather

So, does this jacket run a size smaller as some people say. Have found an L which the measurements seams to be all right, but just wanted to know, will it fit like an M?

Don't really have anything from RO to compare with, only a tanktop, where S is to small and L is a bit to loose. :S

Ordered this Viridi-anne jacket from Yoox France :

http://www.yoox.com/item.asp?tksay=2FA4E164&cod10=411151141B&sts=orders80

It is tagged "size II/44 FR", which means 48 IT.
If the II is related to the japanese sizing chart (is it ?), do you think that the jacket will really fit a IT 48 ?
Thanks for the help.

Chant, a size 2 in the Viridi-anne blazer would generally be equivalent to a Sz.44/46, and Japanese labels have a tendency to fit on the smaller size, particularly with high and narrow shoulder arm holes.
Don't be fooled by Yoox's description.
The sizing is just a numbered description where generally
I = XS
II = S
III = M
IV = L
and so on.

[Chant]

Thanks a lot, Avanster, fot this sad news.
So, I will put it under a glass shell and hang it on the wall.

Translation:

I = XXXS

III = XS
IV = S

[lieutenant dan]

my experience:
I = XXS
II = XS
III = S
IV = M

[Faust]

In my experience:
I = XXS
II = XS
III = S
IV = M

are you calling me fat?

Hey, worse news than the previous one.
I will take it down and hang myself.

I hope they made a mistake, how could it be possible otherwise to sell such a tiny size in european countries ?
