[Concret]

Thanks for the feedback guys and Giles, order for the M is placed. Let's see how it fits, I hope right. I love the feeling of this jacket. I'll post fit pics as soon the M arrives.

[Giles]

Gotcha - will ship today…..

[Concret]

Sweet, looking forward for it…thanks!

I got the jacket in size M, unfortunately the fit was to small, bummer! I just sent both back. Btw, the service from Paula was kind, efficient and fast. Many thanks IH!

too bad you coudn´t make´em fit mate…now what you gonna try next?

[davito]

sorry to hear, but for sure you will find something that fits you perfectly Concrete  let us know what you are after  I am curious like Finn

[Concret]

Well, its a pity that I couldn't fit them. The fabric was great.
Today I was looking for the Samurai Type III until Max Power told me about Sugar Cane and their cheap prices. I  just checked the measures and it looks fine. Is not a 21oz. but a humble 14.25oz. Problem is that I saw it in Rakuten and they don't take PayPal, anyone had any experience buying from them with credit card?

[Mild7]

^ Concret, ive bought from Rakuten many times with my cc without issue.  It may however depend on which particular vendor you are buying from.. not sure.

[Megatron1505]

I recommend using e2nd.net for buying through Rakuten.

[Mild7]

^ this.
Or Akaido, Bears or Vari. I've had good success with all 4.

[FurattoHeddo]

^One caveat though, Vari won't declare lower values on the customs form …

[Chris]

I'll vouch for Vari, 2nd and add Rodeo Bros.  Good experiences for me with all three.

[Concret]

Thanks for the useful tips fellas. Now debating between a Sugar Cane from Rakuten or a Flat Head from DC4.
We can go back to the topic, sorry!

Hey could anyone advise me, from the sizing page?
Does:
40 = Small
42 = Medium
44 = Large
etc…..

[Seul]

38 = medium.

[Paul9221]

…40 = large, 42 = xlarge.

I should add, for people wondering how to size, that I've ended up settling on the 40 (pictures coming soon).  I've had the 42 for almost a year now but always thought that I should've sized down.  Last week, I ordered the 40.  It fits like I figured it would, much tighter, especially on the body, which is what I was looking for.

I should add that I'm about 5'9 (~176cm) and 185lbs (84kg), athletic build (42.5" in the chest).  Also, I don't plan on layering, this thing pretty much only goes on over a tshirt.

[Onairda]

Wow ok way off.  Thanks guy's

Here's a terrible picture of the new better fit

looks perfect lad!… well done!

[Onairda]

The fit pick looks great, really spot on.
I'm 5'10 and 175lbs so I'm def. going with a 40.  Thanks man, I appreciate it.
