On the RM Buco chest pocket should be 90 degrees to the front zipper. It is very slim. If I buy the new 2014 model, I would need a size 40.
I don't think so but I just got mine, though I have tried on the J-22 and J-24 in the past and have not had that problem. Lol, trading a bike for a jacket... Come to think of it, you can't wear the RM on a bike as it is designed as skin tight especially the new model. Personally, I think they have gone overboard seeing that the new model size 40 is actually only 38 inches around the chest. From what I heard, mine is middle generation which is already slimmer than the previous one.Awesome! Thank you, Blackadder. Oh, and thank you for the size recommendation, but don't worry about it. I would have to sell my bike in order to afford Real McCoy.
That reminds me - do the sleeves scratch onto those back passenger pockets on RM?
My chest is 38 and I can tell you that the action back is alreaady fully opened standing straight with my arms down. Compared to my Lost World J-23 size 38, this RM is a purely fashion jacket unless you are skinny and you size up. In any case, the sleeves are also very narrow hence also high armhole regardless of the size so it has to be skin tight.
The whole jacket is made to fit really tight and with the high armhole, sizing up might not be an option. Of course if you are one of those skinny model type then it will fit perfectly as a riding jacket. I guess RM has to struggle between authenticity and the fashion trend towards slim cut clothings of recent years. While they have kept to the authenticity in terms of materials used, they also slimmed down their N-1 since the 2013 Fall collection. In any case, their clothings are already slim by western standard to start with.
