Translation needed to track Japanese sweater

LaurentNYC · 20 Nov 2013

Hello,

I am trying to track a sweater for work that my boss saw in a Japanese magazine and that he wants.

I took two pictures of the text underneath the image hoping it mentioned the brand/designer.

Can someone please be kind enough to have a look ad let me know if the caption tells the brand of this green sweater?

Thanks a lot. This would be very helpful. LL

Keep in mind if you do find the info you need , ordering things in Japan to be shipped to another country can be difficult. I often hear in Japan the sizes are small and the arm lengths short compared to the average American male's size , so finding one to fit him may be a problem also. It may help if you can post a picture of the sweater. A member here may recognize the style and be able to help you better.

Uncle Frank,

Thanks for raising some good points.
I am familiar with the japanese sizing and it does fit perfectly on a man with a more slender frame.
We also have bought and shipped clothes from Japan and the postal system was extremely fast and efficient.
I am actually not sure this is a japanese sweater, that's the reason why I need help with translating the text.
I am attaching a picture of the sweater as you suggested.

Thanks. LL

Hopefully when they wake up in Japan , you will get some useful help and answers. We have some members who only come on during the weekend so give things a few days . Best of luck for you. Hope things are not as cold down there as up here in Maine. Winter is just around the corner I think.

I don't see anything that look like a brand name. There's the name of the Japanese actor who's modeling it in the picture, but that seems to be it for names.

Thanks Glenn !

There might be a list at the end of the article/section (look for something with ￥ amounts) and/or something in the back of the magazine listing contact details for companies (maybe look for the phrase お問い合わせ in the contents). I'd be surprised if there wasn't anything - what's the point of a fashion magazine that doesn't tell you where to buy things?

Thanks Nekojita, I will look.
