So I rolled the dice and got my lady this RMNZ J-21 for Xmas and she loves it.
The measurements for these older RMC jackets are all over the place but this particular 34 is quite narrow in the torso and the lengths are perfect. Shoulders are a tad wide in relation to the rest of the jacket but...
Beautiful jacket, GLWS or trade.
Looks great on you in the photo, but I totally understand wanting it an inch shorter in the torso and sleeves. I could’ve gone with a 42 on my Delraiser but the extra inch would’ve bothered me in the end and I prefer the closer fit of the 40 too.
@BloodEagle I purchased a J-24 from Celluloid, a Japan stockist, and the measurements were no different than that of the American stockists.
Not sure where you heard they’re producing different patterns for different markets, but this is inaccurate.
Their actuals tend to stray a bit from...

I know some prefer more ease in the chest, but for me around 2-2.5” is ideal because I can comfortably layer a hoodie or...
The photos may be a bit deceiving in that regard, because it has ample room in the shoulders and the action back allows for a nice range of movement, despite the close fit. The military-style sweater layered in the photos is quite thick, much heavier than a hoodie, and I can still comfortably...
Nice, either will look awesome!
I have heard the gusseting is substantial enough to allow for plenty of movement with the slimmer cut, but it also depends how much layering you plan on doing and how close you prefer your clothing to fit.
