You’ve got a sneaky nice collection.
Pretty awesome one-two punch!
Thank you Will
Most likely, I would always try to pull it down to cover my belt. And I could probadly not zip it up…

Ahh, I see what’s going on here. Those shoulder gussets are completely stretched out and distorting that shoulder measurement. If it wasn’t stretched out it would be 20” resulting in the same one inch differential between the shoulder and chest as my size 38.
Here are the measurements on my size 36. Same 1” shoulder to chest differential with a 20” chest and 19” shoulder. The measurements jump up a half an inch for each size up.
It also has a 21” back length.
What’s interesting is that guys size 40 has a 22” back length and my size 38 has a 23” back length. Maybe my 38 was a “long”.
That’s where the difference is! Makes sense. The waist is about an inch larger on the TMC compared to the original. That’s why it looked a less V shaped to me.
Btw, the sleeve on my size 38 is 23” - 23.5” so it looks like TMC also made the sleeves a little longer than the originals.

I don’t think you’ll be able to find any at a US retailer. They’re made in very small batches and released once a year with a handful of preorders directly on the TMC website (you have to email them bc the forms and payment system are setup for the Japan market) and a couple of stores in Japan who stock a size run or at least did in the past. However, I emailed all the stores I could find who stocked them previously and never heard back from any of them. The next run releases in June so you might be able to pick one up directly from TMC or a Japanese retailer around then.

I'm positive you could zip it up but you're right about the body length, it'll be short.Most likely, I would always try to pull it down to cover my belt. And I could probadly not zip it up…
Next time we do a meetup I'll bring a nice vintage jacket that'll fit you perfectly. They do exists

Brought my vintage Highwayman to my recent trip to Seoul.
One of my other favourites! I love that it’s a weave and not a print. The texture is so nice.
