edwardPROv.1 Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 (edited) Is there an easier way to buy tourstage shirts other than gdoshop.com, anything like TSG?? Edited June 6, 2008 by edwardPROv.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocchin Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Clothing is one of the hardest things to buy from Japan. TSG has considered carrying it but its so hard to stock as it sells out so fast so the only thing we stick to are caps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbenz Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 I inquired about this in the past as well. Needless to say I'll be one of the first in line if and when it gets in the proshop. BTW, good to see you folks are now able to take orders for DWD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backspin9 Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 You can order stuff like that through one of the Japan buying services like Japan to Door. The process is a bit complicated and it is NOT cheap, but you can get what you want. It just depends on how bad you want it and how much you're willing to pay.

Also we don't sell outdated apparel only the latest stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 I have been told that Japan sizes are different to USA size charts. So if I am a size small or medium, what would that be in a Japan size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Yes the shirts run very small compared to U.S standards. L is like a Small or M, LL is like an M or L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocchin Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Sizing can also depends on the brand... much of the Tourstage stuff is considered Pro Spec so even the Japanese sizes are big very comparable to US brands. A medium TS is far too large for me (I'm a small) and I end up giving them to people here who are in fact US mediums and they fit fine. Paradiso on the other hand is cut slightly smaller. I can wear their Medium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forte Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Sizing is hit or miss. Worse thing is its not cheap!. Safest to try before you buy or you run the risk of gbuying something under-size. I'm a US Medium. Bought a Large size from Japan but its fits me like a small. Go figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blader-X Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 One other option is for those going to Japan in the summer, I've found that many shops will have sells during that time and you can pick up Paradiso and TourStage for very decent price and at the same time try them on to make sure they fit. I've found both L and XL sizes available during those times and both those sizes fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chinkwan Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Just got back from Japan.. Yes, their sizes can be quite different.. Have been wearing Tourstage/Paradiso for the last few seasons already.. I take medium for both brands.. sometimes they are too big and sometimes they are too small.. Seriously, it will be hard to buy just by through the net... Must go to Japan to try them out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the medium Japan size fits you, how does that compare with a medium U.S. size? My nephew is in the Marines and stationed in Japan. He is sending me a couple of Tourstage shirts in Japan size LL and I wear an XL in U.S. size. It's kind of taking a chance, but still cheaper than a trip to Japan (as much as I'd like to go).

chinkwan Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 For Nike Dry-Fits.. TW and non-TW golf shirts.. I take Small.. but take medium on TS and Paradiso... But they sometimes fit, sometimes don't.. I would say for every 10 shirts I get... 6-7 would fit pretty well... It's not tailored clothing so I ain't picky but some are just way way big and way way small.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backspin9 Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 I just got 2 nice Tourstage shirts send to me by my nephew who is stationed in Japan. Here is my take on the sizing, FWIW: (These are Toustage brand, not Paradiso) Normally I wear an XL in U.S. size and the fit is a little loose, which I like. Sleeves usually come down 1" to 2" below my elbow which is usually ok, but sometimes they're a tad long. The Tourstage shirts are Japan size LL. They are very high quality and more "form fitted". Not tight, and they are made of a "stretch" kind of fabric. I would say they are maybe 1/2 size smaller than a standard U.S. size XL. Sleeves come down right to the top of the elbow. Now for the woman's point if view: my wife says these fit great on me, not baggy like some of my shirts. At first they felt a little tighter than what I'm used to, but after a day of wearing one it was fine. I am 5'11" and 165 lbs. with broad shoulders and the Japan size LL in Tourstage brand is just about perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
