cracking BR on eBay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334026396614?hash=item4dc58653c6:g:6JwAAOSw5HZgplX7
If I am not mistaken BR Demotex has more comfortable lining and thicker shell than the normal one. The two versions fit differently. I remember the Demotex one has longer sleeves for one.at the moment I'm undecided between these 3 jackets
Buzz ricksons demotex Brown 630€ size 42
Real mccoy navy 620€ size 40
Buzz ricksons A-2 olive 400€ size L
the RMC jacket if I understand correctly has a slimmer fit, while I did not understand the difference of the buzz ricksons n1 demotex vs normal jacket
The A-2 has four benefits. First: it looks more modern. Second: It is more versatile imo. Third: breast pocket. Fourth: the price tag. Quality wise all three are very well made jackets. What let you hesitate to try a Pike Brothers first before spending the double amount of money?
the desire to have a well-made reproduction
The difference is more than the stitch through with regards to the knit cuffs. The alpaca lining goes all the way to the tip of the outer cuff on the Navy colored version. The lining on the khaki version stops at the inner knit. That is a design modification/improvement on the original and I guess that is nitpicking for some.This is the Buzz Ricksons Demotexed version. The sleeves are too long imo, and the knit cuffs are stitched through the sleeves outer shell. The guy looks swamped in this jacket.
So again, it depends on your body measurements and proportions which of these options fit and look best on you. Does it make sense to have a how ever well made reproduction but don't feel right when wearing it?
For comparison, here is the thread with my review of Bronson's N-1 Demotexed including fit and detail pics:

I think the fit and cut is great and the quality is much higher than what could have been expected considering what it had cost me.
What ever you do, I am very curious how your journey will go on! Let us take part and don't forget to show us your fit pics!
i think i will get the real mccoy jacket, i think size 42 is the correct one or not?
I finally ordered the RMC navy size 42
