If you're talking about RM Japan, then it's definitely one of the top repro A-2 makers around the world for sure. But the sizing/fitting of those Japanese A-2s, including those from RM Japan, should be quite elusive especially by the western standard. I think most of the Japanese repro A-2s are specifically designed for East Asian people, and more likely for the Japanese themselves. Japanese 'men' are even slenderer than other Asians.

However many people are of the opinion that since the 'old' RM Japan went bankcrupt and its owner established his own brand (Toy's), RM Japan has lost the 'zest' of it, or at least some part. Other loungers may disagree, but personally I'd rate the Japanese A-2 repro makers in the following order : Toy's McCoy - The Few - RM Japan - Rainbow Country - (RMNZ) - Buzz Rickson - Morgan - and so forth.

With about 30 minutes left for the X-mas here in Paris, I wish you all happy holidays. :)

You mention a few brands I haven't heard of, interesting, I look forward to checking them out.
Thanks.
Does anyone have the link to Macleods (of Japan), can't seem to find it.
