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

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...

@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!;)
Enjoy ya addiction!

David is this the old fit in a 38 or the new fit? I've been eyeing the j-100 as well!

@grandmasterben Ben its from VMC order probably in late 2012 delivered in summer 13, I bought it in Aug 13. its the current jacket i suppose. There is a tea core model and a deep black. Def a killer jacket and complements your boots

I'm not sure how big my biceps are these days, but probably a couple of centimetres smaller than @Jordan23 's.
I tried on a couple of J100s at 14 Oz a few weeks back, they had it in a size 46 in plain and with padded shoulders and arms. The plain fitted OK, possibly a touch big through the chest and shoulders, however I'd have liked another inch in the sleeves. The padded version fitted better through my chest and shoulders, but was tight to the point of being painful in the arms.
If anyone is looking, 14 Oz currently have them at 30% off. Both of the J100s were €1289, but the padded model normally retails at a fair bit more than the plain version. It might actually be cheaper to buy it there than order from Japan…

My RMC J-100 fits trim/tight everywhere except the shoulders – the jacket has broad shoulders. If you have large biceps, you could have a problem.

So depressed…
I received a measurement from Lewis at SD of the width of the bicep on a 44 he had in stock, 7 inches...x2 is 14 inches, and my upper arm is 14.5 inches...won't fit. That's crazy, the chest and shoulders would be perfect! I wish they could take the sleeves of a 46 and attach them to the 44...
