My Ponyboy in a size 40 has the same measurements as the one sold here. It's why I sized up to a 42 for my most recent Hercules. I also have an RC Single Rider from Avenue in a size 40 that fits similar to the 42 Hercules
Ahh, I see what you guys mean now. And I just went back to all my notes and I agree the Pony is slightly bigger than the Herc in the same tag. The center pleat really give a lot of ease.I was just going by my current experience… I cannot wear size 42 Hercules comfortably and moved onto size 44. But then Hercules sizing differently from 42 to 44 only affects the chest/ shoulder. They have same sleeve and length I believe.
In pony boy, I can wear size 42 very comfortably even with the very stiff one I have in tobacco brown.

Most noticably from the side view, the Ponyboy 42 is almost as wide as the Herc in 44,
Size 42 Herc / Size 42 Pony / Size 44 Herc
The black Ponyboy in this thread is made from a very pliable drapey leather batch like the size 42 Herc I have (brown one on the left), so it's very forgiving in fits. My orange Herc is the thick stiffy stuff. I like both. Rainbow Country has really nice hides.
I guess I am trying to convince myself that the 42 Herc is big enough for me to justify it being in the closet. I rarely wear it to be honest, had it for 2.5 years now but wore it less times than the orange 44 Herc that I just got this year. It gets quite tapered towards the half belt area. Rainbow Country jackets are so awesome it's hard to let them go...
