Question regarding J+ Sizing:

Only the oxford street shop has the jacket that I'm interested in in stock. It's a nice blue check thing from the J+ range.

Only goes up to a large however. Slight problem seeing as I'm a bit inbetween sizings. I checked the measurements, if it sticks to them the sleeve length is fine, so is the collar.
It says a Large is a 43 inch chest. I only have one suit jacket, it's a 44 regular (I have a skinny frame, so it's far too boxy) and there is a small space in the shoulders.

IS it still worth the trip to try this jacket on? It's a slim fit apparently. I recon it could be perfect... or a little too tight :/

What're peoples experiences with the sizing?

Cheers

Would I ask the buyer for a deposit first (like 50% of the total cost for me to get you the item) and then the rest when I ship out the item to insure security? Wat do.


if you have questions like that i wouldn't want to proxy from you

Do the research. Look at other proxies/sites/threads/shipping calculators/etc. It's the same as any other business, if I'm going to deal with someone that's providing goods to me, I would expect them to know their stuff and be completely confident in their knowledge before making any transactions with them.

Also, stumbling on posts of theirs where it shows they don't know what they're doing or where to start doesn't help their business.
