RMC J-24 VS Flat Head Double Rider

[imbaray]

Hi everyone,

Just tried on these two jackets today in London, would you care to comment on which one you think fits better?

The RMC is size 38 and the FH is a 40. I felt comfortable in both, although the FH feels roomier in the shoulders. The J-24 looks to me like a more vintage look, I'd wear it with a shorter or tucked in shirt, the FH feels more contemporary. My indecision also comes from the fact I don't really know which would age better... the RMC is also considerably more expensive.

Thanks!

I’ve owned both. I prefer the leather on TFH. I have also on several occasions had zipper failures on rmc leather jackets. Both look good on you.

I like the FH?(most right one) most because of the length(may be the photo but it looks shorter in the body). I do like the hardware on the first one more, but *** to my head I would go for the second one

Both looks awesome though

My two cents
Cheers

Yeah, I like the hardware and the back better on the first one, I think it's The Flat Head? Now I kinda want to London just to try those on.

The FH is the left one (the longer one). Thanks friend!

Thanks mate, yes The Flat Head is the first one. I already have TFH cafe racer so was considering something from a different brand, but I feel like the fit is slightly better...

Ah I see, the RMC then but I doubt you will be disappointed whatever you go for

Thank you! I heard more than a few people complain about the zippers RMC uses...

Like the sleeves on TFH better and indeed RMC has some issues with the zipper, especially D—pocket’s one. But overall it’s a great jacket. Now want to go and try this TFH at R&H cause it looks really good on you.

Thanks! It's such a great store... I've spent too much time in there lately.

My vote is with the TFH as well, for what it’s worth

I like the fit of the FH better from the front, especially the sleeves. Both nice jackets though.

I vote for TFH

The Flat Head hands down. I just purchased the HW004 rider, it's absolutely amazing. The leather is stunning and the highest quality i've ever handled even better than the Freewheelers Mullholand and RMC bucos I own. The fit is tricky but looks like it fits you perfectly!

I love the flat head. I know some people think the sewing is not up to par, but the cut and the leather are my favorite

I vote for the Flat Head. The sleeves seems excessively long on the RMC. I have both and I am about to out my RMC up for sale here in a bit, for that reason

 

[Wellfounded_60]

Flat Head for sure.

Flat Head looks much better on you, no competition.
