The current model J-100 has a broad shoulder, is TTS around in the chest, and trim around the mid-section. I went with a 42 because, although the shoulder is broader than preferable, the chest and mid section are spot on (and I needed the additional sleeve length). My 42 is approx 21.5 P2P. Here is a photo from last night – over a RMC t-shirt (I am 6'0'' and 175 lbs):
Cheers, I think I've decided to go for a 42 as I'm not too far off those stats and if the shoulder is a little wider I can probably layer a ballpark sweat undeneath.

Got my tees today and I have to say they're pretty spot on.
The fit is just right for me and the fabric is pretty interesting. Pretty regular on the outside and very soft to the touch but has a decent bit of irregularity on the inside. The weight is good too, not too light or heavy.
These rank up there with Tezomeya and TFH tshirts in my opinion.
I still need to try out SG tees, but seeing as the sizing is pretty tiny I probably won't be able to.
i've been sent a large from the nice lads at vintage paradise to try these t-shirts out.
its a good fit now but i understand shrinking is significant in this style so i'm ordering XL.
how have yours washed so far?

So just a quick review of the Buco Styleking. I purchased this from Tokyo RMC when I was looking for a jacket with a minimal details. The buffalo hide has really moulded well to my arms. Compared to my other leathers, its quite generous on the top half of the arm, so if you work out, it will still be a good fit. The grain on the buffalo hide varies from the arm to the back part of the jacket without being obviously noticeable from a distance.
I currently wear the 42 and as more of a layering piece. For a more comfortable zipped up fit, I would have probably sized up but I normally wear unzipped.
And a fit pic - excuse the un-ironed mccoys sweat

Wonderful jacket. The Buffalo hide has great texture. Also love the licensed Buco label.

Sensational

Thanks guys, looking forward to having a first hand look at the J-100, something about shine of horsehide I really like.

Thanks for your help people, I ordered the J-100 42 in dark black from vintage paradise so looking forward to trying it on.

J-100 arrived today and its beautiful. I think for my body shape, I'm tempted to say it is a better fit than the style king, although it definitely needs to be worn in first. The sleeves are definitely narrower and have a sleeker fit. Thanks again for the sizing info.
