Before you buy
- Compare garment measurements with clothing you own. Tagged sizes vary by brand, era and fit.
- Check stains, repairs, fading and missing accessories. Review labels, product codes and seller photos for branded pieces.
- JPS receiving is not professional authentication. Review return limits before ordering high-value fashion.
Use measurements
Check actual measurements when available.
Useful Japanese terms:
Compare these numbers to clothing you already own.
- 着丈 — length
- 身幅 — body width
- 肩幅 — shoulder width
- 袖丈 — sleeve length
- ウエスト — waist
- 股下 — inseam
Tagged size is only a starting point
A Japanese M does not always fit like an overseas M.
Fit can also vary by brand, era, garment cut, gendered sizing, and oversized styling.
Condition
Look for stains, fading, pilling, stretching, tears, repairs, collar wear, cuff wear, and zipper damage.
Useful terms:
- 汚れ — stain/dirt
- 色褪せ — fading
- 毛玉 — pilling
- 使用感 — signs of use
- ほつれ — fraying
- 傷 — damage
Product codes help identify exact releases
For branded fashion, look for style code, season, collaboration, color code, material, and care label.
Product codes can be more reliable than translated titles.
Authenticity
For higher-value fashion, preserve seller evidence such as tags, stitching, labels, hardware, product code, and packaging.
JPS basic receiving is not a professional authentication service.
Shipping
JPS charges actual carrier rates with no shipping markup.
For collector or resale pieces, decide whether original packaging should be preserved.
