Clothes in Japan
It's very difficult for many foreigners in Japan to find clothes
that fit them. Although Japanese are getting taller
and bigger, there sizing for clothing hasn't changed to accommodate
the "larger" people.
When you go out shopping, know what your sizes are in Japanese
sizing. If you still can't find clothes that fit you, try going
to big and tall stores. You can always order clothes at online clothing
retailers and have them shipped to you in Japan.
