Looking at Yahoo auctions.. some of the tagged 3 stuff in Kapital has like a 19-20" pit to pit (mostly looking at T shirts), I thought it would be a bit bigger since my ring coat is only a size 2.

Not sure which t shirt you’re looking at but, FWIW, I take a small in nearly everything and am pretty slim and the KAPITAL Amuse knit tee and the gauze tee fits me perfectly. Not too right but definitely not loose either.
Edit: in size 2

Kapital tops run crazy slim/small.

I have a sashiko collared t-shirt and I had to size up to a 3 because the 2 was much too small.

Unless it's one or their huge Ts, definitely check measurements beforehand.

a week late, but my experience: the kapital tees run pretty short. my size 3 amuse tee has a not particularly large p2p (i'd call it a men's small/medium in that regard) but is definitely a xs/s length.

I wondered about that fleece—anyone have a sense of how I should size for it? I'm 6'1", usually wear a medium in most things (eg. I have a Patagonia Synchilla fleece in medium that fits perfectly—this looks like a similar cut). Really want to pull the trigger on it, just not sure how to size Kapital at all.

i can't seem to @ you, junkie_dolphin, but the webshop has a size chart that seems pretty helpful, i'd think 3 or 4 for a 6'1" person, depending on how you like your fit

I have a size 4 smiley face tee that's 23" p2p and 27.5 boc to hem.

From my experience the tops used to run super small but I think that's sort of changing now. The last few shirts from them I've tried on have fit more normally than what I'm used to from them. For me this is a good thing since I'm a 6'1" dude. Hope this helps.
