Y'2 Leathers….
-
@tvaillant75 i've had a few y2 jackets and in my experience its better to get something slightly bigger - if it fits perfect on day one it will feel tighter down the road, whereas slightly oversized on day one will from around you to a comfier fit......its a lot like the heavier denim thing before and after an initial soak/wash

@mecken88 Thanks for elaborating really appreciated. I have one jacket on order and given the price it's a bit of a leap of faith to order without trying, hence the overthinking
I will reach out to TJ, and consider sizing up to a 46. As many said, better a tad larger than tighter.

@Darth-fader Thanks for weighing in, again this forum is a great source of information and I appreciate you all take the time to chip in.

@tvaillant75 - think I mentioned this at some point on this thread but I have both a 40 and 42 in the unlined roughout chore and both drape fine over layers, however when I had the 40 kakishibu chore the 40 was too tight to realistically layer once broken in so put an order in for a 42 for a bit more chest/shoulder movement. For reference I’m a size Large in all of my IH shirts.

@tvaillant75 trust me, I was in the same situation. Living in the northern part of Sweden we have no shop that even sell resemble jackets.. so I asked a lot of people, measured a million times. And paired that with elaborating all thoughts with TJ. He is the man, and gladly helps out the best he can!🥰
So from all the people helping me, I’m glad if I can repay in any shape or form if I can🫶

@mecken88 if I may bother once last time
It's the chest measurement that "worry" me the most, have you seen some tightening also since buying? would you say by more than an inch?
I can cope with shorter sleeve, but I don't like feeling restricted in the chest area.
Thanks
