Also got the new Asuka jacket in and its REAL ligit actually! I don't think I'd take it on say, an arctic expedition (or even a winter-in-Wisconsin expedition) but its a totally serviceable and well-made lighter/outer layer. Also got an Asuka body suit/swim suit that fits well. SADLY I am substantially too tall for the Asuka bunny suit but I think I can add in some black panels and make some extra space.
Take-away tip: For anyone who's looking to buy cosplays online or buying other clothing stuff from producers out of Asia, the torso LENGTH is often the biggest hurdle because it doesn't always scale up with the sizing. That's the only major problem I've consistently had with the sizing from Miccostumes and similarly mid-high quality cosplay companies.

Its a little odd because I feel like in most other ways the sizing has gotten much easier to guestimate and drastically more inclusive - which is great! The torso length is somethnig that just still causes issues from time to time. I'm also (sort of) tall by some sizing standards for women at 5'5" depending on what's used for the market default.

Those look great! It's interesting that torso length ends up being the biggest issue. I assume it's Asian sizing compared to US?
