Anyone familiar with the fit of the South2 West8 6 pocket flannels? I'm curious if true to size would be good or if their sized a little on the small side?

I tried this S2W8 waxed cotton coach jacket at a loftman store in kyoto japan. Unfortunately they didnt have my size (small) and the medium size was just too baggy/puffy for my liking.

Having trouble finding a store that will send internationally. Wonder if someone on SF is from Japan and may be able to help me out....

Love that jacket! If you're still looking, our service can help you buy and ship the item ;)

There's currently still the S size on the online store here.

If you're new, you can use the code CDCAB78C to get 600JPY (about 6USD) off your first purchase. Feel free to message us if you have any questions or need help using the system!

Is it really cheaper to order Needles from Nepenthes Japan or do they add enough shipping and duties that it works out the same as ordering from Mr. Porter or some other stocklist?

Needles is sold in Japan at domestic retail and all overseas stockists are meant to adhere to a set RRP. JP domestic is cheaper obviously but domestic JP accounts are generally not meant to ship overseas. Which country you are based in determines how much duties or tax you would pay.
I suspect that you will find that unless you are based in JP, or use a proxy service you will be unable to order from Nepenthes JP.

Thanks. I suspected it was not going to be that easy to save over a hundred on these things.
