Ahh good call. Should have remembered they had it too.

TBH I'm a bit conflicted as I really like it, but at the same time I'm getting deep into The Soloist (got a shirt, a ring, have a jacket on the way, want pants, etc.) at the moment. Choosing which flavor of eccentric hippie clothing is becoming tough

do needles make xs stuff and just no one stocks it or is small the lowest they go? so much of the stuff is awesome, but I'm a true xs and worry about it being too big. except for something like the peak lapel rebuild jacket, which I think would look awesome a little oversized and is in my "dream cop" list.

Yeah Needles does do XS, and the Japanese stockists usually carry it, unsurprisingly (not always in every piece, but yes). XS pops up on Rakuten and Y! too (for example: http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/kind-u/item/576814001163/)

Some stuff (cardigans, some of the shirts) seem to fit slightly smaller, so you might manage an S in those.

Large. Think I'm going for the 4 pocket shirt instead though.

So I received my needles leather patch jacket today in Large, too small for me. If anyone is interested in it, let me know. the price was around 180$.

I normally wear needles stuff in L-XL, I guess i needed an XL. This one is definitely slimmer than the 3b coat. the inch less in the shoulders is what killed this for me.

p2p is 22.25 s2s 18
