Y'2 Leathers….

@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🫶

@tvaillant75 I would say ever so slightly maybe, not the biggest difference in chest for me. By size chart the chest width on a size 42 is supposed to be 22,5” pit-to-pit.
And if I measure it now, it’s 56cm pit-to-pit that’s equivalent to 22,04”
And I never measured it to begin with so can’t say for sure exactly how much it may have shrunk in chest. But maybe a little if I trust the chart, that say it’s 22,5” and it’s now 22,04”
So maybe expect some “shrinkage” in the chest. But shouldn’t be so much. At least not for me, the biggest change was by far the arms length
