      Thanks 🙂  I agree on the collar, whichever jacket I end up keeping will get a bit of collar massaging to make it sit a bit more relaxed.

      The leather is something special, the grain is beautiful right out of the gate, and it is not a particularly shiny finish, which I prefer.  It is lighter than most of my other jackets (Vanson comp weight, Aero FQHH, Langlitz mid-weight cow etc), but it is of similar thickness and feel to a Bill Kelso A2 I've got (I think that one is veg tanned Italian horsehide).
      It still feels substantial, but it is nice to have a jacket that isn't such a tank actually. 
      I read that Shinki roll some of their leathers, especially for the RMC A2's, but this still has lovely grain and is as far from smooth plasticky leather as you'll get.

      Oh, and the smell is incredible! It's a toss-up as to whether Horween Chromexcel or Shinki gets the prize here, but it's pretty sensational 🙂

                    Thanks guys!  This is my 1st engineer boots and I have no other experiences to compare it with but I'm surprised how lightweight and comfortable these are since putting on this morning. (I sized up half-size as recommended by the RMC staff).

                    Oh man, looks like I just set a high standard on my next engineer boots. LOL!

                      ^I don't think you'll ever buy another pair of boots. The Buco's are lifers :). 1/2 a day in and no pain + enjoyment = perfect size
