Your arms / shoulders are probably too large for it.

I know absolutely nothing about your build, but that's maybe the only rational argument against it I'm aware of.

curse you for making a rational argument and curse these gains

if it's tight I can live with it bc i need to drop down to my former weight and it'll be perfect, adroit was saying the shoulders are wide in regards to chest size and i have broad shoulders so might be perfect

I had one once from one of Burberry's sublines. I don't remember which, but it was the one on Mr. Porter. Quality was pretty good, but fwiw, I never ended up wearing it cause it felt a bit Fonz. Ended up selling it.

I don't understand what was the issue here.

Depends on why your shoulders are wide. With a lot of Japanese-made stuff, I figured out my problem is the sleeve opening being too small specifically. (A suit tailor pointed it out) If you've got decent delts or traps, that could be an issue, even if the shoulder seams themselves are broad. If it's a skeletal thing, you might be fine.

@jet I'm not trying to talk you to buy it, but.. IMO the shoulders are pretty wide in RMC J-100. I've tried it at the RMC London store and it had more room in the shoulders (and waist) than my one size bigger RMC J-24. Also, the shinki horsehide will mould to your body even if it initially feels a bit tight. That's what happened with my J-24 at least.

only one way to find out i suppose

I can see how someone doesn’t want to look like a 70s show character trying to do 50s style.

There is also a fine line between wearing a rider well and looking like a “greaser” or coming out the movie “grease”

This reminds me. So about 3 weeks ago I was at a local bar watching my friends play metal covers with their band, and this woman and her friend wave me over to talk. So I step over and she says "You look good!" And I'm like, "um, hehe ok" and basically start to think what a weird compliment. My face shows what I'm thinking, and she repeats "You look good! I like your outfit. You look like you're from the 70s or something" waving in the general direction of my jacket and clothing.

And that really takes me aback. In mock jest, I respond "O.....kay." not sure how that's a compliment. So I follow up, "From the 70s, huh? Alright, I can work with that... lol" and she responds "Yeah, with your hair and jacket. It's cool." So finish off, "I am cool." then tell her I want to rejoin my friends. Why did I leave? Because she was a little chubby for my taste. What was I wearing? My Falcon DR2.

And that's the second time my rider gets me noticed. Then a week ago, my ex told me it looked like a Fonzie jacket. So I sold it.

Prior to these recent events, though. I'd been complimented on it twice by strangers (women). So that was nice.

It's not the jacket it's how you style it.

Did she see your jacket from the front or the side?

Lmaoooo

They just wanted a closer look to see if it's XS or S.

Wait but the falcon DR2 is not that flashy, doesnt have much chrome or buckles, etc. Was yours red or something?
