Rainbow Country leather jackets

Seeing all the awesome photos from @Cskarev with his RC over the last several
months made me grab a Hercules.

A very well done recreation of the classic Sears jacket.

@Cskarev Where do you buy from?

I’ve looked pretty closely at RC jackets (specifically the Hercules). It would be nice if they had a North America retailer. I know Duds by Del is selling them on line now. Waiting so see his measurements.

EDIT: your jackets do,look like they fit you to a “T”

@Brandrea thanks! All my RC jackets fit like they are made to measure. Size 42 works for me perfectly.
I have bought this particular jacket (Hercules in seal brown) from a member of The Fedora Lounge forum. But it was in almost like new condition. The black one is also from there.

I got one from a Japanese retailer who is shipping worldwide (Avenue store). Great guy, very responsive on Instagram.
There are several other retailers (mainly from Japan) who are also offering RC jackets.
Del is the only one who acts like a representative of the brand in North America AFAIK. Nice guy, also big fan of RC jackets.

@Cskarev Thanks for this.

I’ll see if I can figure this out through one of your recommendations. Appreciated!

@Cskarev Hello. I had a quick question for you. I am looking at a size 42 speedster and was wondering anout sizing. I think it will fit me. I think I a aw you wear a size 42 in the rainbow country jackets. Do you were a size XL in most of IH shirts.

@pechelman Where did you try these jackets on? I cant tell which stockists in Japan actually carry RC consistently. I've got a trip next April so need to start the process of convincing my wife to allow me a shopping day

@jfive67 i think the name of the store was General Garden?, but it was for sure in Ueno / Amerikaya.

@pechelman Awesome thanks! Wish me luck in finding it haha

With google maps up it wont be too much trouble, but if you're just trying to go by what the store front looks like or the sign, they all kinda look the same tbh. Have fun!

@jjwoody13 Hi, man! All my RC jackets are size 42 and all my IH shirts and tees are size L. I hope this helps. It depends on the preferred fit of course (I am taking about the IH shirts here) but I can say the measurements of size L of IH shirts always seemed to me like they were based on my measurements.
