I kind of can't believe I'm doing this, but I'm going to offer up by RMC J-22 in size 44 for sale. My kids call this my favorite jacket, and they're probably right. Frequency of wear would certainly suggest that--I've worn this on long, multi-state road trips, camping excursions, and across oceans. Lately, I've just been coming to grips with owning more stuff than I want, and, to me, this jacket is too redundant with what is honestly a better-fitting custom Lost Worlds J-24, whose real advantages are that it would be harder to replace and it serves as my colder-weather motorcycling jacket.
I picked this up a handful of years ago on the used market. Since then, I had the failing main zip replaced with a #10 YKK, a major upgrade in my opinion, and I picked up a couple of fur collars in the meantime. Incidentally, I just sold off the older rust-colored collar to a new member here, so this one comes with a like-new black one that I purchased last year, I believe. This jacket has been worn well, so there are certainly scuffs and plentiful signs of the brown leather core coming through, especially around the cuffs and zippers. That said, the leather is supple and quite grainy. The wool lining is in pretty darn good shape, with just some mild pilling here and there. The cotton drill lining of the sleeves is also fully intact. It seems it wears a good bit harder than the stuff Aero and Simmons Bilt put in my other jackets.
$1600 PayPal FF gets this, with insured shipping in the continental US included. I'm firm on the price, so please no offers.
Measurements are as follows:
-Pit to pit: 22.5 inches
-Sleeve length (straight down from shoulder seam to cuff): 25.5 inches
-Hem width: 19.5 inches
-Shoulder width: 19.75 inches
-Back length: 23.5 inches
Please note that the jacket comes with the black fur collar, not the rust-colored one, which has already been sold. Standard and Strange sells the collars separately for just over $300 (once taxes are tallied).
