WTB Real McCoy's Buco J-24 Old fit (44), New Fit (42) or similar offerings

[TheJewishJesus]

I've made a couple posts on similar variations of this jacket style. Adding to the search, I'd be interested if anyone wants to part with an old fit RMC in 44 or a new fit in 42. I realize the measurements of these jackets varies a bit, but I'm looking for a trim, shorter fit. I'm 6'2", 180lbs, with a 41" chest.

While I need longer sleeves, I have longer legs and a shorter torso (for my height) and prefer a more cropped and tapered fit. With that, it seems like the RMC J-22 and J-24 fit the bill better than the Flat Head offerings.

Preferred measurements:
Chest 22"
Shoulder 18.5"
Hem: 19"
Sleeve: 25-26"
Back Length: 23.5-24.5"

If there's another offering I should take a look at, let me know! Thanks!

I have a J24 RMC (Old Fit BJ9111) in size 46 for sale. I had it in the closet for the last two years and it is practically unworn and in like new condition. I usually wear either a 40 or 42 depending on brand and model but the J24 RMCs are notoriously small. The measurements are:
Chest 55cm/22"
Shoulder 48cm/18.9"
Hem: 52cm/20.5"
Sleeve: 65-67cm/25.5-26.5"
Back Length: 63cm/24.8"

Interesting, I didn't realize just how small the measurements are on the old 46. I'd seen some others show the old fit 46 had a 23" chest.

I think you might've, but I worry that 1" of chest ease just won't be enough to zip it up with anything besides a T-shirt. Not looking to layer excessively but I don't want to be too constricted.

How do these jackets fit for you? Sometimes hard to tell from measurements alone with the action back. However, assuming the old fit 44 lies between these two in size, I do think it's still closest to what I need. Thanks!

For sure! I find it to be a pretty roomy fit in the chest/shoulder block area. A bit more roomy than the measurements lead on due to the pattern/action back.
