How WTAPS fits
| Category | Runs | Shape | Length | Size advice | Confidence |

| Shirts & overshirts | runs large | boxy work-shirt cut, straight through the body | regular to long, designed to be worn open or layered | Size down unless you plan to layer heavily underneath. | medium |
| Trousers & pants | runs large | relaxed to wide military/cargo cut with a higher rise | long inseam, often stacks and benefits from hemming | Take your true waist size and expect a wide leg; hemming is common. | medium |
| Jeans & denim | slightly large | straight to loose, rarely slim | long inseam | Stick with your usual waist; the leg will still read looser than most Western denim. | low |
| Jackets | runs large | boxy, layering-friendly military silhouettes with roomy armholes | regular to long, hip-covering on most pieces | Size down one unless you're layering knitwear beneath. | medium |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | runs large | boxy, wide body with dropped shoulder | regular to slightly short hem relative to the width | Size down one if you don't want the full boxy silhouette; 02 usually reads as a roomy medium/large. | medium |
Does WTAPS run big or small?
WTAPS runs large. Most people take one size down from their usual Japanese-brand size (roughly 02 for a US/EU medium) unless they want the intended oversized layered look. WTAPS is cut deliberately boxy and roomy in the military tradition, so garments typically wear a size or more larger than the numeric label suggests and many shoppers size down for a normal fit.
