Y'2 Leathers….

@Kasi the size 42 kb-140 i have fits snug across the back and short in the sleeves but is relatively boxy in the body. I'm typically a size large in IH t-shirts, jackets, denim shirts but trend to XL in western UHF's.

@pechelman

That’s what I was thinking everything is right in the measurements
It’s the chest runs bigger. 1 inch boxy in the body I will get to.

Landed.
Will also get the indigo type 1

pechelman

what do you think and how does it fit?

I really enjoy my Y2 pieces, even moreso after visiting them in Osaka. They're such nice people.

Kasi

Can I get a fit check ️

@pechelman
Here you go

Having mix thought thinking should size down. It tight in shoulders

NickD

If you sized down it would end up pretty short in the sleeves. You could probably go down a size in the body if you’re only going to wear it with a t shirt underneath, but it looks good as it is.

@NickD
Is short the arms because I can’t fasten the buttons bloody stiff the leather.
Just a tag bigger in chest.

looks good to me Mo ! When it starts to get softer and mould it will be perfect in my opinion. Its always the same with horse , when trying it on it seems to be too big but with wear and time it ends up absolutely fine. And it looks like you could even layer.

@Kasi Looks a little big on you.

@Kasi would not size down... It looks big because it's stiff now, wear it, let it get softer and mold to your body and it will end up a great fit

@Kasi I also think it's perfect, I like both the length and the sleeves, it's a type 1 so slightly boxy. So it's perfect in my opinion Mo, it looks great on you, congratulations

pechelman

it looks big in the body when unbuttoned and the right length in the sleeves/body, which is exactly how I feel mine fits me, and how I think Y2 intends this to fit. If you sized down, I'd suspect it would be both too short and much too restrictive in the shoulders and across the back. All this to say, I think this is the best size for you knowing how he cuts this jacket. There are a couple others out here who have owned a couple sizes of the type 1 from them and I think most of them have regretted sizing down.

Also i agree with danielsan that after you start to wear this it wont look as big when unbuttoned. Checkout TJ's pictures of his before/after on that red jacket he recently released.
