Big in japan shirt plus#

'There is a shop that sells dress shirts, polos, and suits for plus size men (actually all size men). John suggested this Kanto-area store for men's plus size clothes: That size sometimes fits, and I am about a size 12 US.' She also says Sanki is located elsewhere. Tochigi: Stacy suggests Sanki, 'it has cheap clothes with labels that read XXXL. Meredith also recommended Smileland in Shibuya. Tokyo: Haikugirl recommended British store Next, and Ashleylaurent suggested Topshop in Shinjuku for European sizes for taller women and men. Ashleylaurent recommends sizing up if you shop here.Īeon (shopping mall) also has some larger sizes. Zara has some tall-size clothes, including dresses and maxi-skirts. Gap Japan will also be opening an online store in October 2012, for those of you who don't live near one. While on the topic of American sizes, Gap in Japan sizes with US sizes (some shirts might seem a bit smaller, but overall they are usually the same). L.L.Bean has some US sizing, according to Bruce, and good selection. (They also have up to size US size 12 shoes for women, but if you get anything with leather, the import fees can be outrageous.) Though this is technically ordering online, J.Crew, which used to be in Japan, has a Japan store and ships to Japan, and offers tall and some plus sizes for women, and tall sizes for men. If you live in a major city with a Costco, you might want to check out their selection (thanks Bruce for the tip!) Shimamura, a fashion store located around Japan, reportedly has some plus-size clothes (thanks -chai- for the tip!) LLQueen focuses specifically on women's plus size clothing (online).Ĭhayclub also sells women's plus size clothes online. Rope is another Japan-based store that offers tall women's sizes online. Nissen has a tall size online women's shop. I also surprisingly stumbled upon some elegant, yet pricey, plus sized clothing (non-straight sizes) in one of the numerous store boutiques in Takashimaya in Shinjuku.'

Tokyo: 'Comme ca in Shinjuku store also has some great European sized clothing for women, men, and children. Ito Yokado has a selection of plus-size clothes (thanks to Meredith for suggestion). Polopony (online store) has some larger sized tshirts and athletic wear. The women's selection isn't as extensive as the men's.Ĭecile (online) offers plus size clothes for women, men, teens and kids. Isetan also offers a tall and plus size store for men online. (If you live near an Isetan you might want to check out the store also.)Īoki, a store with shops across Japan that focuses on suits and formal wear, has tall and plus size clothing for men and up to 3L plus size for women (link is to online store). Isetan has an online tall size (166-175cm) women's shop and also plus size shops for women. Uniqlo carries some 'plus size' clothing in its online store (up to XXL), for women and men.

If you're looking for outdoor gear (clothes and/or shoes), you can find an extensive list of stores and brands here that sometimes do carry larger sizes. (Most of the stores I've listed below are online sites only available in Japanese - you can use a browser translation tool or something like Rikaichan or Rikaikun to help you navigate.) Be careful of import taxes though - anything leather especially, like shoes, or more expensive items might set you back quite a bit (check the link for more details on that). Ultimately you'll want to check the sizing guides and measurements to see what might work for you.Īnd, this is probably obvious, but there are numerous places to shop online overseas and have things sent to you, or companies that will ship the items to you in Japan instead. Keep in mind too though that sometimes what is considered tall or plus size here is, in many cases, similar to standard sizing in many western countries.

There were so many responses to the Q&A I posted a couple weeks ago that I thought I would compile everything into this post for a more comprehensive list to finding tall and plus size clothing in Japan.
