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.

Congrats Futura!!! Photos?

Here you go

F'ing A, that looks great!!!!!

Evo update on Rough Wear wartime A-2 repro:

I really love these shirts. They have a crazy (loopwheeled?) horizontal texture reminiscent of Tezomaya (I can't recall if that is the correct name).

Killer fit futura! such a badass jacket on you.. Where did you get your sizing info from?
-
Thanks Zatemn. Most of the sizing information was from a combination of guys here and measurements off superdenim, blue and green soho and raakuten (vintage paradise).
On a side note the sleeves are breaking in really quickly on my j100, just waiting for the body to catchup for a better fit.
-
Cheers futura, I'll definitely look up the websites you mentioned.
How do the shoulders fit if I may ask? I tend to find with japanese cuts that if you want the shoulders to fit just right, sleeve length becomes visibiliy short and yours look spot on (but I do have narrow shoulders so might be just me).
Lastly, would you expect Shinki to stretch, if needed, like steerhide? -
The shoulders like the sleeves I would say are just a tad tight but I think with a bit of wear should become a bit more supple and mould a bit more to my body shape. I thought about having the jacket as a layering piece allowing for a ballpark sweat or tshirt underneath but its probably a bit too tight zipped with a sweat.
I'm Chinese and suffer from a similar problem with European brands where if i want a good shoulder fit, I end up having sleeves that are too long.

Thanks buddy.. Really appreciate all the insight. If it helps, I think the J-100 is designed to be tight fitting and look better than a layering piece .. I'd go for the exact fit you described

Anyone who can advice on the denim jackets from rmc?
Having trouble finding one which fits relatively slim over the body, whilst still long enough over arms. The 927 (type III) looks pretty good, and from the measurements, it seems slim.
However, measurements seem to vary significantly from

to

Are there any official numbers to go by?I realize it's unsanforized, so probably safe bet to go with the bigger size, then do a prewash for shrinkage.
The type II looks good too, but I guess it's slightly boxier.
