If you like the Rainbow Country, and have the cash, you should consider the GW Imperial. In my opinion, it's a more elegant jacket than the Rainbow.

Although the BK is the more faithful repro of the original, I already had my eyes on the Rainbow Country repro which is a perfect fit for me.

I deleted my post because I attached a photo which I posted some time ago of me trying on the Rainbow Country. I tried to remove just the photo since I already posted it here but somehow could only do so by deleting the entire post. As said the Rainbow Country is a perfect fit and don't wanna be bothered with the measuring etc. Besides I love Rainbow Country's leather and colour and I don't have to wait 18 months+ to get it.

I agree that Rainbow Country one is a great jacket. But it is not easy to buy their product outside Japan, also in UK, the extra cost is much higher than China...
Fair enough! If I could walk into a shop and pick any of these versions up, I would have as well. That wasn't the case 2 years ago when I first spoke with John about this style of jacket. I guess I tapped into a zeitgeist. Because now, we have choices. I love when people have options and choose based on their preferences.

GW one looks really great in pattern, detail etc, but I don't like the leather he used on this Imperial, it looks too new? too shiny? It just not kind of leather I like.

Finding the right width and length is easy. It is the width of the sleeves that is the problem for most Asians.

Given the origin of BK, I love the Greek twist (Heracles) on the original Roman Hercules name.
