Sizing help

[Faust]

In my experience, they are true to size, or on the larger side.

Thanks very much for the information Faust

I know this has been asked before. I intend to buy a Julius leather jacket from the current 7th Anniversary edition. Size 2 seems alright, but I am not completely sure. I wear size 2 in a VA blazer, 46 in a Damir Doma jacket, sometimes 48 in other clothes. My chest measures 34 inches.

I tried on the lamb nubuck version of that jacket DRRRK, a size 2 should fit a 46/48 perfectly.

Thanks, dji. Did you like it?
I like the nubuk version, too. The only argument against it is that it is more sensitive than the cow leather.

Should I size down on DBSS?
I am thinking about purchasing this cardigan..
I wear a Sz.2 at Julius and Small at Rick...
Wondered if this is going to stretch out, as well.
Question is: Sz.1 or 2

Nobody familiar with DBSS Sizing? Croatoan?

[Faust]

/\ best to PM him - maybe he missed your post.

I did some time ago, but he didn't answer... Maybe he's ignoring me. No but seriously, didn't want to bother him again personally that's why I asked here :-\

drrrk the nubuck leather was really nice, super soft. the calf leather version should be good too (not to mention cheaper), a bit too clean for my taste though.

mofiya I haven't tried that specific cardi but DBSS cut & sewn and knit pieces tend to be fairly generously cut. measurements for that cardi are 42cm shoulders and 49cm chest, you could either wear a size 1 more fitted or a size 2 slightly oversized. btw that webstore has sold out...

speaking of cardigans. Can someone who wears Julius in size 2 fit one of there cardigans in a size 1 or would it be too tight in the shoulders?

type of _7 cardi im talking about:

Those of you with sort-of large calves: ever bought a pair of jeans online that had the right waist size but had trouble getting the jeans all the way up due thick calves? Been trying to stretch the legs slowly but eh... wonder if I should just sell the jeans.

I'm thinking about getting this Julius tee in size 2 but these 2 stores have quite a big difference in their measurements.

51cm and 47.5cm for chest width is a huge difference, has anyone had experience with this tee and can confirm on which measurement is correct?

Edit: Would this tee in size 2 be comparable to Undercover tees in size 2 but longer?

I've now read through several pages (including this thread), skipped some classifieds and somehow wasn't satisfied at all:
Talking about the sizing of Viridi-Anne - in particular longsleeves and other thin tops.
I sometimes read, that they run quite small. On the other hand, I saw someone selling Sz.2 and saying it fits 46 and even an 48. Measurements seem somewhat generous sometimes, too.
On the other hand, Acid, Bitter & Sad sold several pieces in Sz.1 for what I think is true to size for him.
Might be aiming for this which is in a Sz.2 and would be tts for me. Y/N?

I agree with Damien....the DBSS tees/knits are sized larger than Julius/VA. I remember trying a DBSS hoodie knit of some sorts in size 1, and it was pretty loose...my guess is that it's meant to fit that way...

Rgarding VA tops...it depends on the material...i've realized that some of the thin cotton they use stretches out abit with wear. For their pigment print long sleeve tees, I'm a 1, for their pigment print short sleeve tees, I wear 2. And for their double layer twist tees, I wear 1, and it fits rather large...

^ thanks... I just copped the above mentioned thing (whatever this is) in a Sz.2 (100% cotton) and hope it wont stretch out / fit.
