Should we blame raf simons or yoox

Amex takes the item back and you are refunded by amex assurance co. It's lnsurance and doesn't come from the merchant.

Isnt there a tendency for yoox merchandise in size 40 to run small/short/tight? I've encountered this problem with jackets/suits by Lardini, Tombollini, LBM and few others. I think size 40 should correspond to at least 18 in shoulders and 44 in chest. So now I either order size 52 or anticipate a possible mismatch with sizing.

 

OH.  Ok.  That's different then - I assumed they were forcing the merchant into a chargeback, which seemed really dishonest to me.

It's Italian brands you listed. 44 chest is quite big for a European 50. I take 52 in a bunch of stuff too like bogoli

Wouldn't say it runs small by any means. Maybe get more American or english cuts? Most of those are 18/44 set up usually and longer

edit: already get answer from this amazing thread

A stupid question about size convertion:

i eyeing some sweaters, but they show in UK size.

Thanx. I mostly source my wardrobe from yoox as I am not in the West. American/English cuts are quite boxy for me. Another problem with the Italians, apart from inconsistency in cuts, is that they are damn short in torso and arms.

Anyone knows when does the first round of price drop for S&S collection take place? Some of the items are just too overpriced, even with a 15% coupon...

i asked same question some days ago, but no one answer me

I think it's fairly brand specific, but Yoox carries a lot of European brands that you don't usually see in the US, and they might use smaller sizing. My experience from shopping in Europe is that their "standard" SML sizing is about a size smaller than used in the US. i.e: a Euro medium is about a 38, whereas in the US, it's about a 40.

But this is just generalizing. You really have to try a couple sizes in a specific brand until you find out how that brand sizes. I don't know what Yoox could do about giving sizing advice, with all the brands and geographies they cater to. They use the tagged size in their listings.

That does look strange - must be a mistake. Here is the chart that shows up on the US site. The numbers shown here would be correct if in INCHES, but they list them as CM. Obviously they've got something screwy going on.

i also shop on the US site.

and i think the chart you quote is shirt size chart, not sweater

 

some one talk about the size convertion in the link above. and "40" means 20*2.

i hope yoox don't make a mistake, because i already got a US46 sc which taged IT46 on the site.

On sample sale they have discounted SS stuff.

There is a great deal of intrabrand variation in sizes. E.g. Lardini in size 40 gets as small as 38 and as big as 42.

Ah, you're right. These are shirt collar sizes. So they are correct in CM. Don;'t know what I was thinking last night...

Just a quick note -- all sale items have now been marked as final sale items by Yoox. Looks like the Sample Sale is coming soon, so I'd put off any purchases on sale items until that is announced and you can get in an extra discount.
