Undercover by Jun Takahashi is one of Japan’s most revered cult fashion labels—known for conceptual designs, dark streetwear, and cryptic slogans. From dystopian tailoring to layered techwear-inspired silhouettes, Undercover is a must-shop label for avant-garde fans. But one question remains consistent: Does Undercover run big or small?

📌 The fastest way to find out: Tellar.co.uk instantly matches your real body measurements to Undercover—and thousands of brands, with new ones added daily. You’ll also receive a free measuring tape, so you never need to size guess again.

What Makes Undercover Unique?

Founded in 1993 by Jun Takahashi, Undercover has gained global cult status for:

Off-kilter silhouettes inspired by punk and Tokyo streetwear
Asymmetrical tailoring, oversized parkas, layered skirts & hardware
Collaborations with Nike, Valentino, and Supreme
Experimental textiles and artistic graphics

But due to seasonality and creative freedom, sizing is not consistent across all Undercover collections, especially in outerwear and layered pieces.

So, Does Undercover Run Big or Small?

In general:

Undercover runs true to size—but collections fluctuate. Some pieces are oversized intentionally, while others are cropped or cut slim across the chest and shoulders.

👕 Tops & T-Shirts

Basic logo tees = true to size
Graphic tees may run shorter or boxy
Longline tanks and asymmetric tops = experimental cuts
Fit tip: True to size, but use Tellar for shoulder width and length balance

🧥 Outerwear & Jackets

Signature parkas and layered coats are oversized
Cropped bombers and leather pieces can run tight
Fit tip: True to size in outerwear, size up if layering underneath

👖 Trousers & Skirts

Unisex cargos, cropped trousers, and zip panels are common
Cuts range from slim to drop-crotch
Fit tip: Waist is true—but hip and leg shape vary; Tellar maps rise + length

👟 Sneakers & Footwear

Collaborations with Nike or Valentino use standard sizing
Some Japanese-exclusive footwear may be narrower
Fit tip: Use Tellar to convert JP/US/UK sizing automatically

Undercover Sizing vs UK & EU Brands

Undercover generally uses Japanese sizing, which aligns numerically with EU sizing but fits slimmer through the torso and arms.

JP Size	EU Size	UK Size	Undercover Fit Insight
1	EU 44	UK XS/S	Slim in chest and short in length
2	EU 46	UK S/M	True to size—most common fit
3	EU 48	UK M/L	Slightly oversized depending on piece
4	EU 50	UK L/XL	Best for layering or tall builds

🧠 Tellar.co.uk converts Japanese/European sizing and adjusts based on your frame—not just a size number.
