Sizing help

[DudleyGray]

Thanks, seems a bit weird though as the model should probably be taking a 48 from his true measurements, yet the bomber doesn't seem that big on him.

So I had ordered a size 48 from Seven and it turns out that they were out of this size. They did give me measurements for a size 50, though:

59cm pit to pit
45cm shoulder to shoulder
66cm front zip
59cm sleeve, underarm to end

They also advised that it fits a bit small. Their model is 183 cm, 80 kg, and chest 96 cm and is wearing a size 50. And I can't find a 48 anywhere

ssense site shows one left for 48.

seven gave me the same measurements, but then I asked farfetched and the boutique that has a 50 and 52 gave

Size 50:
chest 54 cm
sleeve 73 cm
length 77 cm

Size 52:

chest 57 cm,
sleeve 73 cm
length 79 cm

Meanwhile ssense has 55cm p2p for a 48. Some folks I asked said it fits tts compared to the leathers that fit one size small. Don't know what to believe anymore.

Weird, seems to be a real crapshoot, someone has to not be measuring properly. And yeah, ssense has the stretch wool one, but I am looking for the cotton iteration. I'm just guessing the sizing would be the same since it's the same cut in same season, just different fabric. Thanks, though.

Going to get my first pair of guidi(988 or 986 in horse).My feet is 25.8, i usually wear 41, should i get 42 or 43?

I'd suggest 1 up so 42 if you're usually 41. Though it can feel a lil tight at first but 43 would probably be too big when the leather loosens up.

idol confirmed the farfetch measurements. Looks like sizing up is correct. GL finding a 48. I feel bad for considering paying full price but there seems to be no other MA-1 cut like it, and although FW version has padding, won't be needing one with S/S coming up.

I tracked one down at the Las Vegas Barneys, but they wanted $1600+ for it. Considering I almost had it for less than $1100 from Seven and that the wool one was only a hair more elsewhere, I had to pass. Gave up, bought a leather on steep discount instead, which doesn't solve my light spring cotton jacket problem, but hey, leather. Hopefully the sizing on it is like the geo and intarsia.

The rick bomber? as Idol recommends, its true to size without any need to size up unless broader shoulders.

which means 50 = L? Im always confused when people say tts/sizing up for RO since 50 is commonly L, but the official website has 52 = L, which reflects the consensus that recent seasons run small.

I tried on some SS14 and FW14 jackets (bombers and various leathers) and I've found 50 to be TTS for me yet still able to size down if I want a more slim fit around my chest. 52 was generally to wide on the shoulders for me and I have broad shoulders to begin with. SS15 no idea though but I would think bombers are more forgiving if you don't get your exact size and happen to size up a tad.

With the new season BBS bamba1 trainer, has anyone tried them on and are able to comment on whether they are tts or not? I've seen a couple of comments where people have said they had to size down or something...

which consensus?

[oneiroi]

talking about for leathers specifically, older seasons were TTS and newer seasons run one size small

[Shucks]

i wish people would stop spreading bullshit like that. every leather i have bought before AND after island/mountain has been TTS. there is no 'consensus' that you need to size up in recent season leathers. i for one certainly disagree.

[mikko]

My Vicious Bauhaus (now with its new owner though) fit exactly like 'the consensus' said, a 50 was a perfect fit for me, a skinny 48.

[dji]

yeah I'm a pretty true EU 44 and most of Rick's slimmer cut leathers (Bullet, Intarsia, Stooges, Mollino) fit my perfectly in size 46, I don't see how someone a size larger could squeeze into them unless they want to stretch to fit..

[Shucks]

i wear TTS is recent seasons' mollino (x 2), intarsia, rider (or whatever it's called), various cotton/nylon jackets, wool coats... and yes, i am a 48, most definitely, in almost every brand i've ever bought.

can we stop talking about a general rule / consensus and just agree that it is possible that sizing is somewhat irregular and very much dependent on which specific iteration of leather we are talking about?
