The 3 looks perfect on you with that t-shirt fit. If you wanted a crewneck or hoodie underneath, it might not work as well.
I had the exact opposite problem with the 101xx - being between a 3/4 - I got a 4, and it looks a little too loose without a layer underneath.

(So if anyone is interested in a size 4 moleskin ICT 101xx from this past FW, hit me up)

@Samer I'd recommend against a 4 in the veg leather 101xx, you'll be unhappy. Unless you're okay with the sleeves covering your hands which drives me nuts. Ive gambled by doing a 4 in the 101xx after owning a 3, and even at 6'1" 185lbs I found it to be bigger than I like. Really works for those 6'2" and taller imo. I dont think it necessarily makes proportions off doing a 3, but it will definitely be more cropped in the body, and its not super cropped to begin with so you'll be fine.

I haven't tried on the 101xx fit yet (thinking about getting the white pique one from this season). The size 3 seems to work on you. Do you have other FR VEG items? I have a couple 101's in FR VEG and have found the resulting product is slightly larger than the washed denim versions, probably due to some slight shrinkage from the washing process.

Which color were you considering? For some reason I keep eyeing the green, but I'm also really tempted to try to get an Eton...

Looking at the light brown version. Curious if yours have aged nicely and are easy to wear? I tried one on in LA and the lining makes a big difference in comfort.

Thanks @Fycus was hoping you'd weigh in. Can't stand sleeves past my cuffs, so that might be the biggest selling point for a 3 if I go for it.

Yeah, the leather is really soft on both of mine so they are quite comfortable. Almost feels like lamb leather.

Few recent fits (life a pain doing fit pics if the Mrs isn’t around haha)

My last brigadiers were half a size too small. New ones very comfy from first day wearing.

Also if anyone ordering through Zen market be aware they’re having delays. Mines being pending to be packed for nearly a week and saw on Twitter people been waiting 10 days plus to have it packed.

Both are size 3’s… the navy is from the Christmas release so you can see how it’s probably 2 inches bigger pit to pit. Perhaps an inch longer etc View attachment 1740419

That’s a good set of jackets. I love that pink one.

thanks man. Very pleased indeed

 

[MrChukes]

I picked this kofu up from the LA store after New Years this year. I really like it thinking of picking up another kerchief. Hopefully they have interesting colors like that pink.

 

[norigim]

The non-standard kerchief releases are usually only at Traveling Trailer events which afaik have only happened in Japan for the last several years. Best way of getting one is via resellers

followed the wash instructions for the mud dyed hoodie. color is suppose to bleed alot for a while?

 

[wmvisvim]

I'm a tts 2 but am 5 inches shorter than most of their models and they all take a 3. I think if you have any sort of build and aren't super thin like the models going tts should be good.

Where did you find the pic of the Veg 101xx? I'm not seeing it on the JP store. Also what's the JP price on that?

22ss season 101xx it price is 770000yen + tax
**** price..

Yeah I was looking at the 21ss price....22 looks like a washed leather but STILL $1K more crazy

I have a 21ss it and this one is great too!

I'm looking at the Neverland Jacket IT, and the price has gone up too much..

Last season's Baker Coverall IT was 473000.. This is 583000..

Here’s a 21 to 22 comparison. Jacket drapes more, which is what’s leading me to think it’s washed.

Baker Coverall IT looks great and warrants more structure IMO. For the 101xx I like the drape.
