Rainbow Country Single Rider

The only store that carries them in Australia only orders the A-2 and G-1 models. Pretty meh on both those models honestly, but the 44 A-2 fit me well, probably better now I've lost a bit of weight. Hope I get the chance to try on a Hercules in Japan. Also would like a Ponyboy, but don't think any carries that in stock. Even in their domestic market, not many places have a full run to try on lol

You’d need a 44 for sure. The thing is the hem will also be 44 like on your McCoy. But RC has a waist tuck so it might fit better, you’d really have to check it out in person.
I think the Toys McCoy Mobster will fit you better with bigger chest and more V taper at the waist. If you can find one try that. The RC Highwayman sort of in the middle of those two, not as V as the Toys Mobster but more V than the Herc. Its gonna get busy there soon with the cherry blossom crowd.

The Herc from measurements is about inch or two smaller in shoulders and chest which I think will be better for me. I hope the hem isn't as flared but I will have to try it on to see. I think patterns with more V taper fit me better, even though my body is not very V shaped lol

I heard the Mobster jacket was originally designed for RMC by the Freewheelers director, who since left and I guess adapted it with some Trojan details into the Mulholland, I've never seen any vintage Trojan straight-zip in the Mulholland style.

I catch the tail end of cherry blossom season so hopefully it's died down by then, and also anyone visiting for cherry blossom season, please don't snag the Herc from Barnstormer lol!

The RC Herc seems to gain some popularity again this past delivery. There is still a 44 by that store by the Fuji mountain I will not say the name hopefully it's still there when you get there. It has the special houndstooth lining versus the basic woolie one I've got. It has a really nice slim fit, you've gotta try it on to see.

I've been looking at a Johnny jacket aka the other Mulhollands aka the CHP aka the Mobster for a while now. There has been so many iterations from slim long to short rectangular to V shaped. I have also seen the Trojan reference, one of those "phantom jackets" like the phantom AN J 3. Never seen anything bigger than a 40 on the used market though. That blows. People seem to hang onto their older ones in this style more. Patience is the game...

Just got sold out, they got their delivery a few days ago. Thought I would be able to get it considering they had another one sitting around for months in same size, although that was a stock model and not their special order with the houndstooth lining...
