Leepro Appreciation

[indigoeagle]

The measurements can differ quite a bit.
For the 46 e.g. Neshi states for the chest- 61cm, while three8 says 66cm.
Perhaps one is pit to pit, while the other is the circumference divided by two.
 

Junky also offers that jacket.

For 46 they state:
４６　着丈約63cm・身幅約62.5cm・肩幅約55.5cm・袖丈約67cm

Here are all their measurements:

３６　着丈約60cm・身幅約52cm・肩幅約46cm・袖丈約64cm

３８　着丈約60cm・身幅約53.5cm・肩幅約49cm・袖丈約64cm

４０　着丈約60.5cm・身幅約56cm・肩幅約50cm・袖丈約65cm

４２　着丈約62cm・身幅約60.5cm・肩幅約51cm・袖丈約65cm

４４　着丈約62.5cm・身幅約60.5cm・肩幅約53.5cm・袖丈約67cm　

４６　着丈約63cm・身幅約62.5cm・肩幅約55.5cm・袖丈約67cm

４８　着丈約63cm・身幅約62.5cm・肩幅約57.5cm・袖丈約67cm

５０　着丈約64cm・身幅約65cm・肩幅約59cm・袖丈約68.5cm

Confusing. @indigoeagle Which one is the armpit to armpit measurement and which is the shoulder to shoulder measurement? thanks

Here, for shits and giggles, are the visual measurements of my Og early 1960s Lee Stormrider in a size 46 Regular.

"46- 着丈約63cm・身幅約62.5cm・肩幅約55.5cm・袖丈約67cm"

overall length, chest width, shoulder width, sleeve length.

Your measurments are:

back length: 61cm
chest- 63.7cm
shoulder- 53cm
sleeve- 62.5cm

So, very similar as this is N/W.
Just the chest is slimmer and the sleeves a bit longer it seems.

@indigoeagle the sizing varies depending on the seller... I haven't seen consistency yet - have you found a trusted source?  For instance, on previous page chest for a sz 46 was 66cm.  Presumably all are non wash.  Cheers.

No, I don't know any more yet.
I called the Junky shops. Unfortunately they don't send overseas.
I'll try the others in the next days and ask them about the fit.

I didn't get through at the Neshi or 38 shop. Will try again in the next days.

By the way- does anyone know an alternative to the now defunct Skype?

I called the Tokyo Junky (Style) again. The guy was helpful. He said, that the jacket fits small. He suggested to me size 48.
He confirmed, that the jacket is N/W and sanforized. It will shrink about two cms.

@indigoeagle thanks for the update... what question did you ask for him to suggest size 48?

That I'm 1.85 and 84kg and that I have the SDA one in 46 and that it is tight.
