Great fit for an off the rack!

Thanks! I am extremely happy with the fit. A bit part of it is the fact that I got to choose the size myself and the fact that the RMC contract A2 is slimmer fitting than probably any other A2.

What I mean by choose my own size is that when I have gone custom in the past, I tell them what my measurements are and the maker builds the jacket to those measurements, but using their judgement as to what the right fit is. They always give me a jacket with an oversized chest. I have a 40in chest. My DD jacket had a 43in chest, the Iron Heart/Alexander Leather's jacket I had briefly had a ridiculous 45in chest. This jacket has just below a 41in chest. It's slightly tight, but leather stretches a bit, so I think it's perfect and definitely fits better than any custom jacket I have ordered. I plan on getting the black J-100 when it is restocked and I expect a similar fit.

@nick123: Yeah I noticed that. Now I sort of feel like we need to do each other's nails or something...

Look for the nails tutorial that @nick123 did last year - it's really helped a lot of us put the finishing touches on our look.

The J100 is nice, but the Steinbeck is REAL nice

The steinbeck is quite nice, but I prefer the look of the J-100 personally.

Thanks! you will. I need to see your jacket too because I'm on the wait list for a December restock!

Great looking jacket! Perfect fit.

I'd love to see how it looks when it's broken in some.

I'm looking at getting one of these for myself but was concerned at the lack of blousing in the body. Is that something you find uncomfortable or an issue?

It's quite comfortable. It's starting to become a little tight now that I'm weightlifting so much more, but that's not the jacket's fault.


Also, what is it with my threads being resurrected?

awesome jacket, awesome haircut.....and awesome fit pics!

( things I don't want to see in fit pics: untucked shirt, bathroom mirror, sweat pants, bare feet....etc).

It's funny because this was almost 4 years ago when I often left my shirt untucked. Now even my t shirts are tucked 100% of the time.

I love the contrast between the red silk and the really dark brown. I think it just works and looks awesome! I know I am a little bit late to this but how has the break in process been after all this time?

Break in process was not bad at all. The red silk lining was incredibly comfortable. Unfortunately, I had to sell this jacket due to fit.
