Ben, IMHO the sleeves are a tad too short.
I agree, once the creases set you definitely will have zero chance of them touching your hands, And if sizing up means the shoulders and the body are too big, then it's not the cut for you…
-
^ I tried on, and purchased, that same number at Inspiration last year (in black).
This year, I tried on, and purchased, this one:
Which jacket is this? Thx in advance!
Enjoy ya addiction!

From the back pic if you look at the sleeves, they don't look too short no?
And I'm a little incredulous as to how much the sleeves ride up… You obviously know more than me, but heavy leather like what Alexander/aero uses ride up more right?
I've looked at pics of them worn and the sleeves don't seem to crease that much.
Same thing with denim jackets... My type 2 started with short sleeves and and they stayed there. They didn't crease up and shrink....
Most people's sleeves are too long imo.

@grandmasterben Ben my sleeves creased up right perfectly in my size38 j100, they do ride up when you rock that jacket. Overall it will take approx 6years of usage until it fully takes over your body shape. From a j100 perspective your sleeve length in that pic might be a tad short and get bit shorter after you use the jacket. But for sure a great jacket.
@Superfluous congrats man great pickups

My The Real McCoy Flannel shirt caught my eye this morning and demanded my attention so I thought…..why not? and its a lovely shirt to boot
-
Ben a trim zipped-sleeve jacket like the j100 may crease even more than fuller sleeve jackets. all depending what your personal preferences and lifestyle is @grandmasterben
Sweet flannel @den1mhead

Just bought a couple things that I thought I could wear in the office…
The button down (plain white oxford) is really nice, I sized 15, which I think is perfect, although it may appear a little small in the photos. I think I may have sized down one too far with the Double Diamond Khaki trousers though, went with a 28 instead of a 29, but I've got about 6-8 pounds to lose so they should fit better in two weeks or so. The belt is a plain Joe McCoy one, a lot less clunky/bulky than I thought, but clearly of a very high quality.
Basically the shirt is really short and meant to be worn out while the chinos are too tight right now to tuck anything into, so I ended up with a great casual outfit… Oh well!
-
Thigh looks really tight to me, how are they when you sit down?
-
@davito @Anesthetist yeah they are pretty tight but they are not uncomfortable in the slightest, I can sit and move around just fine, i just have to decide whether or not I want to be serious on my weight loss or just send them back for the 29. Probably the 29…

Does anyone own the N-3 utility shirt? http://www.superdenim.com/prodpage.asp?productid=3143
I'm trying to figure out sizing - Superdenim doesn't provide shoulder to cuff measurements and I'm afraid the sleeves will be short on my monkey arms. Any info on RMC shirts would be much appreciated!

I have admired photos of Real McCoy’s Steinbeck since the jacket was released last year, but I have repeatedly balked at buying one because I own the Real McCoy Oklahoma and the two jackets are the identical cut/design. The only different between the jackets is the hide – the Oklahoma is deerskin and the Steinbeck is horsehide. I have two Himel Canucks, but I rationalized that duplication because one is brown and one is black. The Oklahoma and Steinbeck are both black, which made the duplicative design more concerning based solely on photos.
Two weeks ago, I had the opportunity to see the Steinbeck in person (at Inspiration). It only took a few seconds for my duplicative design concerns to fly out the window. Notwithstanding the duplicative design, the Steinbeck and the Oklahoma have a very different character and appearance. The deerskin and the Shinki HH are profoundly different in character, grain, texture and feel – they are also meaningfully different shades of black (don’t go there) – the Shinki HH is darker than the deerskin. The significant differences in the hides creates a very different look to the jackets. The Oklahoma is more relaxed/casual, where as the Steinbeck has more of a moto look/feel to it.
What really sold me on the Steinbeck is the particular Shinki HH used for this jacket. I have two other black Shinki jackets and, while both have wonderful grain and character, the black Shinki on the Steinbeck is even better. It is amazing – the best black Shinki I personally have ever seen – right up there with the brown Shinki on my Good Wear Imperial. The Steinbeck Shinki is tea core, where as my other two black Shinkis are black all the way through – I wonder if that makes a difference in terms of the character of the hide?
-
Wow, that leather looks fucking amazing. I love the sheen!
I need to figure out if the tea core j-100 uses that same leather.
-
Magnificient, congrats and kudos.

Thx for that write up @Superfluous what a great jacket, wear it in good health together with your others. Perfect addition and perfect fit
