sounds like you need to get some more of your measurements and compare to their size chart. You should also get your shoulder to shoulder, waist and sleeve length. Here is a pdf of how langlitz takes measurements

Also take into account how you would like it to fit, tight? loose? would you like to wear a couple of layers underneath or just one? Finally what is the purpose of this jacket, casual? moto?

If you are looking for a tight fit, go for the size 34.

The way these Japanese retail shops measure the shoulder of a jacket is they take a straight line from one seam to the other. This does not take into account the curvature of the jacket. Did you get your tailor to measure your shoulder width or did you just also take the straight line approach?

See how to measure the shoulder width in person under "Shoulder Width" and how they measure the jacket under "Shoulder Width 2".

it can't be returned

i just took the straight line
my measurement of the shoulder = 42 ~ 43 cm

The best way is generally to measure an existing jacket rather than yourself. Find one that fits the way you like it and then go from there. Trying to imagine how your own measurements will sit inside a leather garment can create trouble. Do you want it loose, or tight or whatever? Maybe go to a shop try on a similar jacket in leather or fabric and then measure pit to pit, shoulders, back and sleeve length. Sizes themselves vary so much they are useless.

i found a shop and tried size36 of this jacket http://www.realmccoys-nagoya.co.jp/?pid=69154885
it really fit me except the chest and shoulder is really tight fit

maybe 36 is good ????

Don't ask us - only you can tell that. I would never wear anything "really tight" but I'm old and past being a la mode.

I agree with Seb but I like mine tight. Here is my Buco size 36 and my chest measures 98cm. I can only wear Tee inside no space to fit a sweat shirt or hoodie.

Maybe it's just me but those sleeve ends look kind of roomy.

You mean the cuffs? Well spotted. They weren't zipped. This below will show the cuffs are not zipped all the way up. Kind of restrict the wrist when taking photos. I am pretty clumsy while taking photos with one hand. Small hand I guess.

May i ask your hight and weight ?

About the same height as you and weigh considerably more.

that is a very tight fit, but the length is good, looks really great unzipped.

Yes, you are quite right about the tightness when zipped but mind you, the jacket was not broken in when I took those photos. It was brand new out of the box and retained the straight, rigid form at the time of the photo. Not that it is broken in now. I have worn it four times since and it will be at least half a year before I can wear it again.
