What size did you get? Their size 1(M) is an equivalent to US m or should I size up?

 

Their sizing on coverchord always confuses me, generally they have different measurements in comparison to other shops that stock nonnative...

I went by haven's measurements. I usually buy size 3 for most japanese brands (6' 185lbs) jacket fits perfect in the shoulders, chest and sleeves. Its a bit on the big side in the body, but probably because thats how a fishtail should fit. I think coverchord is offering 30% until the end of the day on their outerwear too.

 

also a japanese 1 is usually a US small IMO

They use size 0 in reference to small I think..my point was that coverchord has the wrong measurements, they put bigger measurements in comparison to haven's.

 

I'm 5'8 145 lbs, maybe I should aim at size 1 or 2..but thanks for the clarification!

Hey,

 

to be fair.  In japan, 0=small, 1=medium, 2=large.  But these are Japanese small, medium, etc., which is very different to North American small, medium, etc.

 

And it's not necessarily "wrong" measurements; they might measure differently.  You should check how they measure their lengths - you can go to a dozen online stores and each one will give you a different measurement for the same product.  In my experience, most Japanese retail do a decent job with their measurements.

 

My advice to you, being around the same size (i'm about half an inch shorter, and ten pounds lighter) is that you'd be a size 1 for most outerwear and shirts.  But it really depends on product and how you like your fit.  A size 1 doctor shirt for example is a tent.
