Japanese sizing runs smaller than Western sizes - an L in Japan is often equivalent to a Western M. Without the right vocabulary, you might buy clothes that don't fit, miss out on alterations services, or struggle to explain what you're looking for. This book teaches you everything from asking about sizes to getting pants hemmed.
