How Beams Plus fits
Overall fit
runs small
Beams Plus uses Japanese sizing, so garments typically feel about one size smaller than a comparable US or European piece, with narrower shoulders and shorter sleeves, even though recent seasons have introduced roomier, boxier cuts.
Tip: Most US/EU shoppers should size up one from their usual size (occasionally two if they are tall or broad), and check the brand's cm measurements rather than trusting the S/M/L label.

| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | runs small | regular to slightly boxy loopwheel-style sweats | Size up one, or two if you plan to layer over a shirt. |
| Shirts & overshirts | runs small | trim through the chest and shoulders on classic OCBDs; newer camp-collar and popover styles are noticeably boxier | Size up one from your usual shirt size, and two if you have long arms or a broad back. |
| Trousers & pants | slightly small | varies widely — slim Ivy chinos alongside relaxed fatigues and wide-leg pleated cuts | . |
| Jeans & denim | slightly small | straight to slightly tapered five-pocket cuts | Take your usual waist or go up one if the denim is rigid and unsanforized. |
| Jackets | runs small | trim through the shoulders and chest, closer to a Japanese archive cut than a US original | Size up one, and consider two if you want to layer a knit or shirt jacket underneath. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | runs small | mostly boxy to regular, with a fairly high, tight neckline on pocket tees | Size up one unless you specifically want a cropped, close-fitting tee. |
