From my experience with Japanese brands, they tend to run a bit small if you have an athletic build. I had the same worry when ordering, but I'm glad I went with the bigger one. So, I'd recommend 42 just in case.
Finally got my jacket today, I’m so glad I went with 44, cuz even this is a slim fit! I took some of quick photos. Thanks so much for all the inputs, guys. I’m very happy with how it turned out.
Awesome, this is great, thank you so much. I’m pretty much identical, 50cm in shoulders, 105cm in chest. Now I’m really looking forward to seeing this in person!
@Pkshfo74036 May I ask a favor, please? When you get a chance, could you measure the sleeve length of the beck666 you just got? I'm very curious about the sleeve length. This one looks perfect on you. I'm 178cm, slightly shorter than you, hopefully the sleeve length wont be too long for me...
Thanks again. Yeah, I'm going with 44. Thanks SOOOO much for the help. I will be sure to post pictures once I get them. I did get a response from SuperXY today (it's the last day they ship things out before the Chinese New Year closure).
They told me that their measurements were taken...
Thanks for the info, I will check out the store sometime later this week. Seems like the Schott 141 is made of cowhide. The RRL jacket I already own is a cowhide jacket. Another reason I want a TMC is because of the horsehide leather they use.
Hello, yeah I gave the measurements in CM because that’s what the seller listed, I should’ve converted, that’s my bad.
I narrowed down to those two because I like the style a lot. Schott closed their Chicago store permanently, so there isn’t a vintage leather shop in town anymore. The reason I...
Found more numbers on SuperXY measurements. They have front/back length for the 42/44 on their website
42
Front: 26 inch
Back: 24 3/4 inch
44
Front: 26 3/4 inch
Back: 25 1/2 inch
So if i measured the sleeve length of my RRL the same you did in the photo, it would be 25 1/2 inch, which is spot...
Thanks again, this is very helpful! I PM'ed the seller, so hopefully they can get the measurements to me when they open in the morning. Will come back to update you once I get the numbers..
Thanks again for your help!

Another thing is that the 44 has a 67cm sleeve length, which is 3cm longer than my RRL. It shouldn't be an issue after breaking in, but it could look long at the start.
I want to consider the stiffness of a horsehide jacket, so I want to make sure it wont be too tight around the...
