^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

Whilst I was in Tokyo recently I too popped into the RMC store, and also did not leave empty handed….

I've wanted a leather jacket for a few years now, but for obvious reasons (price, so many options) I held off… I wanted to wait until I knew exactly what I wanted, had the money, and saw it for a price that I was willing to pay. That perfect storm took a while, but I'm happy to say that as of today I've got a leather jacket!

I'd been trying to decide between two styles: The Real McCoy's Wayward and a J-100. Since the Wayward was made years ago and discontinued, I narrowed into J100's. There are many options, but with each jacket, save for one, there was a problem: price, attention to detail, leather used, etc... My entire wardrobe is filled with Japanese clothing, so I had my eye on the RMC from the beginning. My favorite brand is The Flat Head (look 'em up), and I tried their take on a BUCO, but it was too slim and the shoulders were enormous.

I was lucky enough to try on the RMC at Inspiration Los Angeles earlier this year, and while I didn't take it home (it was navy), it did light the fire, and I've put that fire out today!

Without further ado...

When I first got it I was afraid I'd have to sell it since it looked small and it felt very constrictive. I'm happy to say that it's already gave a lot in the few hours I've worn it in the house (california is hot!), and it's starting to feel like a second skin.

Congrats on the jacket Ben.  I know you've been thinking about this one for ages so it must feel really good to finally get one.  Tea core for the win!

This thread's gotten some serious heat in the last few days. Way to take it to another level @grandmasterben! Fit is perfect, including the sleeve length. Really good work waiting patiently for the right make/model you nailed it!

@grandmasterben Congrats! Looks good on you.

[Snowy]

Thank you all for the kind words on the A2, I'm besotted.

@ijpx, yup it's the MJ12103 model.
@fre-co it's the seal brown. In sun light it looks a very nice brown, in shadow or non-direct light it holds a black like look to itself. The sales assistance in the store made me wear it outside to make sure I could see it's range of colour and to ensure I liked the full range, not just the store-lit colour ::)
