Those measurements seem nice, I think the 44 would actually work for me.

Also Inoue san told me my has reached the cutting stage, let's hope it's not too much longer!

Going with 38 - I like both fabric options so far...

yeah I thought so, I've asked Inoue if he could make a 46 for you in case you wanted to buy. but then it looks like the sizing on these shirts is quite vanity sized.  I'll go for a 40 myself and i am a 42 in both the foreman vest and the type II, so I assume it makes sense that you go for a 44. actually the 40 has the exact same measurements of my red cloud polka dot wabash and that was sold as a 17,5.

[Broark]

I almost could go for a 42, since they come out to a 47 in. chest.

But lately I've preferred my shirts not quite as slim as my tees or sweatshirts.

I need to compare these measurements to my Mister Freedom Appaloosa, which I had to size up on since they came out rather slim.

[Cucoo]

Ffs cm measurements! I don't seem to understand that chest measurement. A 38 has a 22" chest? Does that not seem abnormally large, or did I miscalculate something?

 

Nah, that's why I called it "interesting" - 112cm chest on a size 38, that's really big, isn't it? I'd put a "normal" 38 at maybe 10cm less than that. Doesn't really matter of course, just seems a bit off from what I'm used to in shirt size charts.

[Frost]

I usually aim for ~100cm in my shirts, which is usually a 36-38..... Here the 34 is 4cm too large even.

[tigerstrom]

Yeah, you guys are right. The sizes are big now when I think on it.

[Bobbo]

I'll probably go with a 36 which is one down from my TCB chorecoat and two down from what I normally wear in japanese shirts. Gonna need some extra long sleeves though! That's 4 cm shorter than my chorecoat which have just about wearable sleeve length.

[tigerstrom]

How do you guys measure your shirts? I need a good guide:)

Thank you!^

[bradl]

c'mon now, we've all seen this right?

Yeah, I am quite aware but it's still hard to find anything in Canada using metric. Still quite confused as to what size I would need. Like a ~18" shoulder and a 20.5" chest Edited October 9, 2015 by bradl

[Iron Horse]

Looks like I'll need a 38, but that chest size...I need to grow some moobs to fill that out.

[tigerstrom]

Damn, I just measured a couple of other shirts and I think I can go with 36.. If there is some more shrinkage left the 38 will be better. I hate these decisions

Edit: I just measured my chest and it measure 100cm or 40 inch. Its all come down to if I want a slimmer or looser fit.

Maybe that's it, it's just the women's size chart

[nizzel55]

Sleeve length is not working for me...

66 would probably be my minimum.

Me and my monkey arms.

Unless inoue can help me out i will have to pass on this shirt.

[volvo240thebest]

I am sure he will sort you out mate

[holio cornolio]

^^ Looking at the sizing chart and Inoue's fit pics on the prototypes, it looks to me like the shirt has been designed with a looser fit in mind. If that's the case, the shorter sleeve length makes sense, since (if you buy your normal size instead of sizing down) the shoulder seams would drape slightly beyond the shoulders giving another inch or so of theoretical sleeve length. Is loose the new fitted?

Yeah I'm just pulling your plums. It's the same in the UK. We have an utterly bastardised system of measurement which includes aspects of both imperial AND metric systems, and then get all hoity toity about the metric system when our transatlantic cousins question it! Brits! C**ts the lot of us

[Frost]

^^Loose/oversized has been the trend in some high-end designer fashion for some time now. Maybe Inoue wants to become the Yohji Yamamoto of the denim world....

^ it's been a while since I was in touch with such info (if I ever was). Good to know that by beige cardigans are a la mode (as you youngsters say) again ;-)

I think you'll find that beige cardigans are a timeless classic and therefore immune to the vagaries of fashion, as indeed are beige elasticated-waist slacks and beige slip-on shoes.

size 38 for me - if this is the post shrink fit.

 

They will be sold Raw to us though, Right?

 

Cool.

[volvo240thebest]

that's an absolutely perfect fit surfer. lenght and sleeves are perfect too. you nailed it! great fit on the 0105 too.

[holio cornolio]

soooo, back to the ranchman. I feel a little crappy about this, but I measured pretty much every shirt in my wardrobe this weekend to see if I had anything that resembles the ranchman cut wise. Sadly I do, and it's a shirt I don't wear because I don't get on with the cut. And I really don't think that sizing down is going to work either, so unfortunately I'm out. Look forward to seeing how you chaps get on with yours though.

Edit - sorry NYC surfer - meant to say - your 50s jacket looks great. Super fit. Did you give it a hot wash or just a cool rinse? Enjoy!
