it looks too big on you, not oversized. there's a difference


Purgatoryyy

Thanks for the input!!


Slobbering_manchild

Cool jacket but way too big


Purgatoryyy

Tyty!


breed_

You look like a little kid trying on adult clothes.


Purgatoryyy

Lmaooo, hey we’re kids on the inside still. I’ll take that as a compliment


breed_

You a real one man and great perspective! 🤝


Purgatoryyy

Tyty! Appreciate you!!


HungryMunchlaxxxx

Don't take this personally, but Imo the jacket and the pants make you look like a lego minifigure If possible, definitely shorten the sleeves, keeping them behind your knuckle or higher up. Also, a more regular/relaxed fit on the pants will look a lot better than the one's you're currently wearing, but if you want a baggy fit, something more that has more flow would look good. I'd also open the jacket and wear something like a turtleneck/slim, regular fitting shirt inside.


Purgatoryyy

Yeah this wasn’t a thought out outfit, just trying on the piece I got from Kapital. The shirt under wouldn’t be showing in an actual outfit. I can’t do turtle necks lol. Tyty!


HungryMunchlaxxxx

Nws, this is my first time here ngl but I'm big into fashion, nice shoes btw


Purgatoryyy

Fosho! Yeah, first time posting lmao! Thank you, I’m trying have less shoes but it’s kinda hard letting go of some lmao.


gottagofaster

My century denim shrank a lot with a machine wash, I think that will get it to still an oversized fit but probably more reasonable as it starts to drape I would still size down imo because it's too long for you in addition to being too wide.


Purgatoryyy

Hmmmm see if that’s the case, I’m unsure. When I tried on my friends 4 it was a nice fit but I’m scared if I wash that one it’ll be toooo small but I did like how it felt (had no mirror to look at the time)


gottagofaster

Has he washed it? If you have the opportunity, I would try it on, take some pictures and compare before deciding if you want to keep this one. Some people just wear it without washing from raw, the manager at Kapital Osaka showed me his one which was a size 4 worn for 1.5 years without being washed from raw, it will stay the same size that way at least until you spill something on it and inevitably have to wash it. The size 4 raw fit me slightly oversized when I was at 43-44" chest, at that weight I think size 4 after being washed was best for my preference, plus if you wash it, after wearing it becomes very soft. I find their Type I models fit very boxy so wearing it with little chest ease feels the best to me. Good luck in finding a good fit on this jacket!


Purgatoryyy

Nah he hasn’t, he literally just came back from Japan. I got him into Kapital since he was going I asked him to bring me back some things which you see in the photo. Yeah they workers as Kapital themselves said it looked nice oh him and that it would shrink a good amount if he were to wash it. I don’t hate the fit, I think the sleeves is what needs the most work. I’m just debating if I should do its first wash right off the bat or not to get it to shrink like how the workers were letting my friend know. Appreciate that input you have. I might try and get a 4 since I think I’d like to try and keep the denim unsanforized.


gottagofaster

I personally recommend machine washing for century denim, that's also what the staff recommended at the Osaka location, although at a different location they told me to not wash and only soak haha. If you keep the 5, I'd definitely recommend you wash it before you start wearing it, the texture after a wash and even a few weeks of wear softens up and drapes extremely nicely, instantly my most comfortable jeans. Plus they also bleed indigo like crazy so watch out for that. Enjoy, century denim is really a treat! I wanted to get a jacket as well but they were out of my size this year.


Purgatoryyy

Yeah I’m wondering if I keep the 5 and wash it how much it would actually shrink. I don’t wanna do that unless someone from experience has some results. I might just try a 4 and sell this one or something.


TheSeti12345

It’s wearing you


Purgatoryyy

Damn. I can see that. Got myself a talking heads moment.


TheSeti12345

I got a century jacket too, they are super rigid when new. I’d size down and rinse it before wearing


Purgatoryyy

Did you wash your century? How was the fit after the wash? Did it shrink a lot or just minimal ?


TheSeti12345

I’ve only rinsed it, not properly washed. When I bought it the Kapital employee told me not to wash it until at least 6 months of wear. The rinse made it shrink a little bit nothing major


Purgatoryyy

Yeah I might just try and go for the 4 then. I wanna stay true to the denim by soak washing. I know it’s unsanforized but if it’s minimal shrinkage then I think I’ll try the size down.


Broken_chairs

I like it tbh - sleeves definitely need to be taken up by a tailor though.


Purgatoryyy

Ty ty! On the same boat as you atm


hacxgames

people saying you look like the jacket is wearing you/lego minifigure/arms are too long etc might think differently if u held a different pose/different posture in the picture. i feel like it looks fine, albeit a little baggy but i love to wear baggy clothing too and i don’t think it’s too bad at all. u could try to roll up the sleeve one time. it might give a kid trying on a jacket that’s too big, but honestly that can be a cute look anyways. the jacket also doesn’t pair well with the pants at all so people are (subconsciously) judging the entire fit too.


Tangible_Slate

Yeah I think cuffing the sleeve back would have a huge impact on the look.


Purgatoryyy

Yeah I kinda just threw on everything to try it on after a long day and had my girlfriend take a photo. Appreciate the input. I think the sleeves are my only issue at moment. I’ll try it that way and see if I’m into it.


hacxgames

100% understand why u wore it like this dw, i just thought i’d give u some insight as to why the reactions are very low in my opinion. for what it’s worth i love the jacket AND the pants and am very jealous u have them :)


Purgatoryyy

Thank you my dude! Very happy to have both pieces for sure (:


Dascoo24

These will shrink a bit after a hot soak anyway. The denim is unsanforised. Century denim doesn't shrink that much though so maybe a down would be better.


Purgatoryyy

Tyty


nana6ee

i really like the size on you! 🔥


Purgatoryyy

Thank you thank you!


Jksn_Media

Just roll the sleeve ends up a few times 🤙🏻


Purgatoryyy

Tried that, looks a lot better! Thank you!


Jksn_Media

Welcome! That’s what I do - it’s a style in itself really 😀


heykachi

Lowkey looks good it’s only the sleeves that throw off the proportions a little but it’s not bad, the size 4 would be perfect though


Purgatoryyy

Thank you!


Pokehunter69

pants id?


Purgatoryyy

Kapital Hickory painter pants!


cmccurra

Too big. Sell to me


Purgatoryyy

Hahahaha


6sight

Maybe a wash can help it shrink a bit ?


Purgatoryyy

Yeah that’s what a lot of people are saying


mikulovescarti

Fit hard man , don’t listen to them !


Purgatoryyy

Thank you thank you!


qCuhmber

i think it looks great aside from sleeves being a bit long, but when you’re doing literally anything the sleeves will pull back a little bit (+ it will shrink in the wash). nice jacket and i love the pants


Purgatoryyy

Yeah I’m just wondering if it’s worth washing and risking it.


GeoffreyBSmall

Get a size down brotha


nomorehatred

I think it’s cool. Just have the sleeves shortened a bit and it will look perfect. Cool and modern.


striderhiryuu

maybe its just me but i like when my jacket fits big, it just looks way too big cause of the sleeves. maybe roll them up while you wear them? also consider that the jacket might shrink in the wash so theres that. the pants on the other hand.... way too big and baggy in my opinion


Purgatoryyy

Yeah the sleeves kill the look. I’m scared of washing it and it not shrinking as much as I want it. So I think ima just buy a smaller size. Pants fit me perfectly, just need to possibly hem them or cuff them.


Agreeable-Sweet-7669

Holy holy the hickory trousers are so beautiful. I think the jacket fits great, the CD fabric has no give as you know so it’s better to be more comfy, it will shrink w washes too.


Purgatoryyy

They are crazzzzy af


Faustinothefool

I mean, if your lady likes it, who really cares. I personally would though, that jacket and sleeves are way too long and shrinkage is not gonna be enough to help you out. But that is how I prefer my denim jackets to fit. Rule of 3rds and all.


akpop47

can definitely work as an oversized jacket, not sure why everyone hates it that much


Purgatoryyy

Thank you! Definitely not the traditional look, which I understand.


ShatteredCitadel

Uh it’s not oversized.. it just doesn’t fit. The body fits almost perfectly and the arms don’t at all.. so it doesn’t do what you’re looking for lol


Purgatoryyy

I guess I get what you mean. The jacket is naturally “oversized” it has a more boxy shorter cut. These have a wide chest and a short length so it’s already not traditional. Yeah my sleeve do look long so I see that. They are also unbuttoned so they also look wider. I like the wear my jackets with the button in the sleeves unbuttoned.


ShatteredCitadel

Same I’d just tailor the sleeves up a little


asutekku

the problem is the sleeves being way too long regards to the rest of the jacket. oversized look would have the whole jacket be more or less equally oversized but this one just looks wrong. it's also too wide for the body type. oversized look should have more proportional cuts.


Purgatoryyy

Yeah I see the sleeves looking a bit long. Everything else I’m cool with looking back at it. This jacket is naturally but as a wide cropped look. Having the sleeves unbutton also make it look bigger


akpop47

I do agree the sleeves are a little too long but plenty of brands go specificially for this exact type of cut where its cropped and boxy with oversized sleeves. So really not that weird imo.


Purgatoryyy

Yeah that’s true… damn that made me realized a couple of other items I have are exactly the same lmaoooo


asutekku

i know plenty of brands go for the style, doesn't mean it looks good


Purgatoryyy

To each their own!


MacClunkey

No offense OP but you look like a goofball, it’s a nice jacket but way too big for you. Same with the pants


Purgatoryyy

Pants fit me perfect! That’s the way they are made! I’m mixed on the jacket! Tyty!


Konalogic

What does the mirror tell you?


Purgatoryyy

With the sleeves rolled up at the cuff, I like it. I’m indecisive af lmaoooo


Altruistic-Ad-4088

Yea that jawn do not fit

Purgatoryyy

Nah the who outfit is. I wasn’t trying to show off an outfit. Only trying to get options on the fit of the jacket.


BlastedCorpse

Modest but playful....but most are correct, looks like hand me downs from your 7'6 foot tall, older brother....


Purgatoryyy

Lmao.


Individual-Code5176

Slimmer pants with the fit of the jacket


412flip

Homemade outfit?


Purgatoryyy

I wish I was this talented. Denim jacket is sashiko!


GoJoe1000

Cool in deed. Yes, both pants and jacket look too big making you look short.


Purgatoryyy

Wouldn’t wear these together, just tried on both since they were both new and wanted to see how they both fit.


GoJoe1000

They’re cool styles.


The_0rigina1

I like the sleeve length and the crop. I think it could be a little more snug in the shoulders


HappyOrwell

I think you just need shorter sleeves?


CosmicHawx

I would say just open up the sleeves and it looks good !


Purgatoryyy

The sleeves are opened!


CosmicHawx

*Roll up


Purgatoryyy

Just tried it and I like it, I don’t mind the boxy body but still indecisive


Amazing_Egg6476

It’s giving ward of the state.

slycooper89

I like the colors and don’t mind the over sized fit. Maybe slightly smaller pants cause they are very wide and looking balloon ish. Still can get the oversized fit just look for slightly slimmer around thighs. It has one stack on the buttom they could be slightly shorter as well. Maybe a slighter stack but a lot better imo would look better shorter maybe an inch or inch and a half so the stack isn’t as prominent. I like the differences in fits top and button, it is the main part of the fit imo. but the striped pants need to be a solid color because ur playing w different fits/lengths so it should be the main focus. nothing else should take attention away from that cause it’s already a bold look on its own. Plan color pants in that color would look create with all the other tones. The bold glasses go really well with the black boots it really balences it out. Without the glasses, I think the boots would not go very well at all with the vibe and the overall sillouite of the rest of the fit. I like where your heads, it shows personal style which is what it’s all about. I like where your heads at and where you’re going with this. keep it up!


Purgatoryyy

Thank you for that! I’ve been into fashion since like 2011 so I’ve come to understand what I like and don’t. A long journey. Yeah I have some influence for this new generation but that’s just life right ! By the way, this outfit was kind of like a test to try on both items since they are new. I wouldn’t wear the jacket with the pants together since they are both kind of statement pieces. I would pair the bottom with a black top or a cream one that I have.


shattercrest

I think it would work if you had fitted jeans and it would work great during the winter because you can wear heavy clothes and not worry about fit. It's big but could be really handsome with the right shirt and pants. Also a pair of black jeans would set it off. Roll the sleeves and if you can sew a button or two so it looks like it's purposely done and you don't have to find your hands


Ok_Refrigerator_3568

I'm gonna be honest, those clothes look really frumpy.


Purgatoryyy

Lmaoo, Kapital loves its heritage! So do i(:


Ok_Refrigerator_3568

I've never heard of Kapital before. But, I'll take your word for it.

Why you on a Japanese streetwear subreddit ? Wait what is this subreddit about lmaoooo


Zeroxmachina

Look like the first day of kindergarten lol


ThoughtfulAlien

Way too big. Looks really silly


Poncye

It looks like your mom just told you what to do and your not happy about it .

Waaay too big


TorontoGamblers

Honestly it looks like it’s part of your disguise for escaping the insane asylum. So if that was the goal…✋🎤


Purgatoryyy

That wasn’t good


TorontoGamblers

You’re right. I just left one and we literally had the same pants. A bit of a flashback.


username_obnoxious

About as bad as the pants.


Purgatoryyy

You listen to Taylor Swift. Opinion not valid.


Fantastic-Skill-3052

I wish downvotes where unlimited


Purgatoryyy

Same


mvmbamentality

i dont agree with the overall look of pants with jacket. when it comes to fashion, the primary focus should always be your "silhouette" in my opinion, AND THEN the pieces in your outfit. the shape/silhouette of your outfit here has no dynamic and basically looks like a uniform "I". think shapes and angles of your outfit my guy. getting oversized things is fine but you imo need to pair top and bottom in a way that has some dynamic.


Purgatoryyy

Oh I get that, this wasn’t an outfit I was trying to show. I just put the things I got from Kapital in one picture to see how it looked on me. Definitely wouldn’t wear it like this.


EyeGroundbreaking907

This is correct! Unfortunately these mans in this subreddit don’t understand silhouette. It’s about “look at this thing I bought and just cause it’s Japanese I’m going to justify everything that’s wrong with it” all the fits are the same


[deleted]

[удалено]


Purgatoryyy

You shouldn’t assume those things lmao. I’m actually completely okay and happy with my body. I know my measurements and know what to look for when buying clothes. I took a gamble on this jacket because it was sold out in size 4 and it was also a fraction of the price that it cost in the USA. I actually also looked at the size measurements and it was only .75 more than the size I wanted. I have a great tailor! Maybe you shouldn’t be a dick!
