          Holy crap. Just got a boot jack, seriously saved me so much time. Takes 5 seconds to get them off.

            Sweet, they can be nice to have for a trim boot. I have an old cast iron scarab somewhere.

              @davito:

              How did you size @grandmasterben ? They are amazing arent they? 🙂

              Yes they are amazing 🙂 Christ these things can survive an apocalypse. Can't wait until the sides stretch out a little.

              I am true US 9.5 brannock on my largest foot (only a little longer than my left one) and took a 9 in these.

              Completely good in toes, instep, but a little tight on the sides. I think it's already stretching out.

              Out of the box, lofgrens win easily for comfort. We will see about these 🙂

              Thanks guys!

              Sounds great @grandmasterben thats the spirit about horsehide, just break it in and enjoy, you'll get some nice individual graining and shaping over time. I still find these much easier to break in compared to my viberg horsebutt which took me over a year to shape.
              The Lofgren is superbeautiful too probably my next after some time.

              Cheers,
              David

                interesting result. Am I the only n00b here taking boots of by hand?

                  Don't usually use a jack myself snowman, but they're good to keep by the door for quick removal if you don't have a spot to sit. They also make removing a boot with tight counters a lot easier

                                  New to the forum…Really interested in an RMC Buco J-100, about to pull the trigger, just nervous about the upper arms being too tight, any feedback from current owners would be appreciated! Would hope to at least be able to wear a thin sweatshirt or flannel under it...Also, is the size chart at SuperDenim very accurate?

                                  Thanks!

                                    Hi steve welcome. This is my size 38 wearing a joe mccoy Ballpark heavy sweater under it. Its a tight fit and i love it like this and the j100 needs fitting a bit tighter than other leather jackets imho but this is how i wear my tops for my preference. I dont layer stuff under this jacket since it is more a leather shirt for me.
                                    I wear size 15 in japanese shirts like double diamond or freewheelers stifel etc, in Ironheart shirts i wear small

                                      @bigsak22 with regards to sizing I suggest you doublecheck with their online customer service and have a look at BiG measurements

                                        Thanks for the quick response Davito! You've got killer style, love seeing all the different looks! A+! I'm a US 44 normally, sorry don't know what that translates in Japanese sizing, but here, it is usually a typical Large. I've contacted SuperDenim via email to see if I could get actual measurments of their stock 44 and 46, but have not received any response, and it's been quite a long time…

                                        I know this jacket is a slim fit, and that's fine, but I've been reading a lot about the upper arms being really tight, where if you have athletic arms, it's hard to fit...

                                          I understand Steve yes if you have Athletic arms it could maybe be an issue. I am a small ant and this puppy is like a glove for me, killer jacket for real.

                                          Thanks much for your compliment @bigsak22

                                            I tried a 42 and a 44 (usually a XL in IH) and couldn't get it over my biceps. A 46 did fit over my arms but was to BIG in all other dimensions what is really pity as this is imo one of the best looking leather jackets of all!!!

                                            I am 187 cm about 87 kg and have a 41 cm biceps!;)
