B-10 ELC RW

I tried on a BR B-10 in my size, 46. I am 5'11" and normally wear a US size 46. The BR is quite nicely made but was slightly short in the torso and more like a 44 than a true 46.I since purchased an ELC RW but in size 48. The ELC in 48 fits perfectly. The fabric shell on the ELC is "softer" and not as heavy as the BR. I prefer the larger BR collar but the BR does not come in a size 48 which would equate to a US 46. I have a 46 chest and 38 waist so belly is not a factor. Therefore, from an accuracy point, possibly the ELC RW could have a "stiffer" shell fabric. Fit wise, the ELC RW is perfect as compared to what should fit or is offered in my size by BR. Both ELC and BR are for purists and you get what you pay for. They have the look feel and drape of the originals.

Just some shots of my new RMJ Stagg B-10. I had to go through five other B-10s from various makers before I got to this one but I finally found the perfect one It's a shame that they're no longer made as they really are amazing jackets.

Ciao Sergente -

RMJ is Real McCoy's Japan. (There's also Real McCoy's New Zealand, or RMNZ, an independent company.)

RMJ clothing is very rare in the west and usually undersized when it does appear.

I was lucky enough to have a friend send me one of these from Japan last year. I'll take some photos and post them soon but the ones on the link give an excellent representation of the colours.

Rare but it is easier to obtain now that Rakutan lets none japanese to order from there network. My buddy picked up RMJ current b-10(the one with the big off colored pockets) and I bought there tanker jacket from rakutan's web affiliates.

Sizing of the different manufacturers

Gentlemen,

New in the forum i have the projet to buy on these babies.

But how these different b10 jackets are sizing ?

The different makers have their own size chart which could differ...

My regular size is 40.

Does anyone can light me about it ?

- AEROLEATHER B10
- EASTMAN LEATHER "B10 ROUGHWEAR"
- REAL MC COYS JAPAN "B10 STAGG "
- BUZZ RICKSONS

Many thanks,

FAFOO68

Can't help on the sizing, but I think I cam rule out Aero for you: to the best of my knowledge they no longer do their B10.

 

[FAFOO68]

Hello Edward,
It is sure, AERO doesn't make any longer the B10 but it is possible to have one in order (4 or 5 months of delay according to some " fedora's fellows").
I'am watching Ebay time by time to see if there's one...

 

[archbury918]

That's a surprise to me that Aero ceased production on their B-10. I just got one from them last fall.
It must've been one of the last. It's a 42 and fit is perfect. The alpaca they use is dead on and very warm and comfortable.

[FAFOO68]

Sorry, I had to be more precise, AERO don't sell the B10 on their website but it is possible to order one (with a delay).
About the fitting of your B10, is it true to size or you have some place to wear it with a sweater ?

[archbury918]

The fit for me is nice and trim. I wouldn't wear anything more than a "dressy-type" sweater with it. Mostly because the jacket is so warm from it's lining.
Anything heavier, and I wouldn't need to zip it up. I wear it with chamois shirt in temps in the 15-35F range and am quite toasty.

for reference, I'm 5'11" 190lbs

 

[FAFOO68]

OK and what size did you choose ?

Was that one of the run they did in the darker green, and black too? I wish I'd spotted those in time - they were at a great price and looked superb.

Ah, cool - I must have picked it up wrong - I'd heard they'd gotten out of the cloth jackets altogether.

 

[archbury918]

Edward, yes, it is one of the darker ones. It has a nice deep rich look to it. I opted for the medium brown collar. The black just didn't look right to me.
I paid $150USD and one of the best purchases I ever made.
Yes, it's a size 42

 

[FAFOO68]

Thanks gentlemen, we have an idea how's AERO B10 sizing.

An about RealMcCoy's "STAGG 10" any opinion ?
