Good day.
With all the talk about Japanese denim jackets of late (ie: Iron Heart) made me want to start a thread to help me out with sizing. Japanese vs N American sizing mainly but also to help nail down sizing for anyone who is looking at buying Japanese items direct or off of Rakuten ect.
I am looking at denim shirts, denim chore jackets mainly but some chino s and maybe jeans in the future.
Now, I am a men's medium pretty much across the board with N American sizing. For pants (Levis 511) I am a 32 waist x 30 inseam. I am not a big fella at 5' 8" and about 157 LB.
My body type is slim, with a long torso and shorter legs. I like high armhole placement so I think my body type could translate well into Japanese sizes.
For now, I am looing at Eight-G items.
Is anyone here, that can speak and read Japanese help me translate the sizing charts?
Here is one for a shirt. I am pretty sure from L to R it is body length, Chest, Shoulder width and Sleeve length. ( I matched the Japanese characters up to another size diagram I found )
I can't seem to post the diagram in the thread so it is here as an attachment. If anyone could translate the Japanese characters that would be great.
