Man I see so many good looking c2 s it is tempting. The only thing stopping me is that I have wide shoulders and short arms for most size 40
FYI the shoulder is way more forgiving than you’d expect given the stated measurements. Gotta give that action back it’s due.

The ones sold through my shop have shorter sleeves by about 1” across the board. But you could always snag a cheap used standard one from Japan and get the sleeves shortened for much less all-in than a new one from Vanson or me

Wasn't one of your first jackets posted here a bomber style? Maybe from 5 star? Would be full circle for you
Well remembered. This was my first 5* jacket. But I wouldn't call it a bomber, although it might even belong in that category ;)
What bothered me about the jacket was the loose waistband that was sewn in completely without tension. But the leather probably wouldn't have been supple enough to be blousier.

But I've decided not to buy any more leather jackets (maybe a Baracuta G9 in suede? LOL) because I already wear the ones I have too little in the 5 months of jacket season. And I'm well supplied with jackets :)
