Tag Size: Japan size 40 (should convert to approx Large / 40 US)
Measurements (laid flat, approx, in inches, per SmartSizer photo):
• Chest (pit to pit): 15½″ (which suggests elsewhere the 20″ bottom hem is more telling)

(Note: the 15½″ chest measurement may reflect ribbing or cut shape — real chest width likely larger nearer the bottom hem.)
