Does Junya Watanabe run big or small?
Junya Watanabe runs small. Most shoppers size up one from their usual US/EU size, but check the specific piece since deconstructed or workwear-derived items can already be cut oversized. Sized on a Japanese scale, Junya Watanabe MAN typically wears about one size smaller than comparable Western labels, so a US medium usually lands in a large, with the caveat that certain conceptual or collaboration pieces are cut intentionally voluminous.
