i'm 20, and I think DBSS size two will be in that range. I don't think there is a ton of size 3 around.

Yeah a size 2 may be your best bet. I have some of their tees (sz 1) and they've got a 19" p2p if I remember correctly. Depends on the piece though. Shoulders are always tight, since it's all meant for dudes with a small frame.

Size 1 typically varies between 18.5" to 19.5" depending on the piece. The smallest piece in the p2p I have is a jacket at 18.5". The largest piece is a t-shirt at 19.5". Size 2 varies between 19.5" to 20.5" or so. So if 21" p2p is truly your minimum, you may need size 3. Also you need to be aware of the unusual dimensions. For example, while 19.5" p2p on the t-shirt is the equivalent of a US Small, the shoulders and arms are so tight that it fits like a US XS (or even smaller).

No... Drapey doesn't mean stretchy. Some of the stuff has very little give. And some of the jersey pieces, that are stretchier, just wouldn't look right in the right size. The neckline would have to be stretched to accomodate larger shoulders, etc...

Damn. What type of job do you have? I didn't even have that sort of copping power at that age, even though I had no expenses other than a monthly cell phone bill.

Sometimes you can go oversized but I find that the reverse is rarely true for anything. Everytime I see someone who's like "Demeulemeester cut so big I went and got an xxs in that hoodie and I'm a 48." I cringe at the result. Some of my Ann pieces are S and I think xxs is my size (say 44).

So with a larger muscular frame is DBSS basically a no cop?

I'm still in school, no job. The key to the coppage power is no major expenses, tons of scholarships and financial aid (my family is poor), and poker. I'm no baller, just living it up before I incur 100k of gradschool debt next year. My julius jacket's worth more than my car.

you can try browsing rakuten.co.jp, there are usually measurements for items. I'm guessing there are some items that'll work but some that would be too constricting, it'll depend on the piece

Man if I lived at home my coppage power would be through the roof. But then the folks would be getting suspicious with what I spend my money on.

No purchases beyond a pair of dress shoes, dress pants and dress belt from now until winter.
