  2. +j blazers are cut short this season. The xs length is about 25"

    Really?! The Japanese site lists most of the blazers in S as 70cm long (with 59.5cm sleeves, I'm assuming the S corresponds to US size XS). There are a couple of unstructured ones around 66cm, but those aren't what I'm looking for. But then again, I have no idea whether the collar is included in the measurement so you might be right.

  3. How long are the suiting blazers this season? Are the Japanese market ones any more cropped? Basically I'm looking to buy a +J suit, but I want the jacket to fit pretty short. Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

  4. ^fuqq yeah. 16.5 shoulders but sooooo long every time

    It seems like I'm the only short dude like this but I find that if I buy jeans with a taper they always end up being a little loose in the thigh while being too tight in the calves or is it just that PS fits that way?...iono

    Suggestions?

    I think that's just a combination of the PS cut and raw fabric...

    If you're in the LA area, I highly recommend trying on some THVM (THEM) Atelier jeans. I have three pairs which are pretty much the only jeans I wear anymore. The sizing can vary with cut and fabric, but I'll try my best to break it down for everyone:

    For reference, I take size 26 in APC NS, NC (femme) and PS

    1. "tapered" in green cast - by far my favorite silhouette, a mid-rise slim straight jean with a boxy top block that tapers just enough to barely graze my calves. super soft fabric that appears to be a dark waxed indigo with greenish hues. hemmed for slight break, really lengthens my legs. Size 28, 30" waist (aligned), 6.5" leg opening

    2. "skinny" (men's) in black overdye - mid-rise skinny jean with a slouchy top block. probably the most comfortable pair of jeans I own, perfect for tucking into boots and sneakers. Size 29, ~31" waist, 6" leg opening

    note: I sized these for my legs, which are pretty damn slim but not devoid of muscle. That said, the waist is pretty loose and the legs fit snug and not tight. I like having the option to wear them super slouched or higher up with a belt. If you have ectomorphic legs, you can probably size down for a tighter waist.

    3. "skinny" (women's low rise) in beige chemical wash - super low rise skinny straight jean. hangs off the hips and is snug, not tight, all the way down. beautiful sand color with faint marbled veins of earthy tones and white. My pair is a size 30, and the general consensus is that the chemical wash jeans run a size or two smaller.

    The waist size measurements might seem a bit big at first but you have to take into account the low rise and design--these jeans are meant to have more breathing room in the waist and crotch. The measurements are comparable to those of Lad Musician's size 42 pants.

    If you're interested in trying them on, Am Rag has a bunch. THVM Atelier also has its own showroom / retail space downtown near little Tokyo.

    Brian and Olga, the designers, are a married couple and the nicest people you'll ever meet. Olga told me they took specs from APC, Dior, and Acne, and pulled the best ones to create their own jeans. I think the result is like a super-jean of sorts.

    On a different note though, what shoes would look good with these pants?

    I think my Balenciaga trainers will do, but curious of what you guys think?
