This is the best I can do … not the greatest pictures.I’m wearing it with the IH29 collarless loopwheel sweater (which they need to run again someday … but I digress).
The sweater is an xxl, and the RJ1 is xl. Roomy enough to layer, but also looks good with a tee.

@Brandrea looks great thanks for posting. Rly leaning toward an XL. The only thing that I’m worried about is it being too long (I’m 5’11)
-
It’s a tough call, I found the measurements to be pretty close to what the Freenote web site says.
On me, the RJ1 wears about the same length as the XL IH N1.

Thank you my friend

@akohut Congratulations!
Please post some fit pics when you have time

@Max-Power best jacket on the planet. Am in year 3 with my tumbleweed and it’s look better every year
-
@akohut I would size up in that. The large in regular fits me spot on but the alpaca was too small in the chest due to the lining.
-
@Gavin666 yeah that was my thought too, but for this year's restock (which came out yesterday) they've made the shoulders and chest on the L a bit bigger, so should be perfect
weirdly the product page even recommends sizing down in the heavier weight riders jacket for a "snug fit" – but the M is even smaller than the regular riders jacket large. so i don't see how that is good advice...

@Gavin666 it definitely is! I love all three, the green gets the most wear at the moment but Tumbleweed is my favourite. Strangely Tumbleweed feels much more waxy. Has anyone tried to rewax?

The heavy waxed version of RJ-1 is out. Really considering it at the moment. Measurements say it's a bit shorter in my usual size too which would be great.
I always thought I'd go with the 20oz and now it's available.
I see many people with multiple different colour RJ-1s here but for me it still needs a bit of justifying. I am thinking that a good justification to get it is that it could be that being 20 oz and all it would get even more wear in the northern climate
since the season for the 10oz on it's own is quite short.
Sometimes in northern europe its from shorts and t-shirt to a winter jacket in just a few weeks.
