how many leather jackets did it take?

So I collect watches and sunglasses and a few other things that are a little easier to judge on a page before putting down cash. Got bit by the heritage leather jacket bug last fall and after grabbing a Y2 Single Rider that (in my view) fit perfectly, picked up a few other complimentary jackets in the subsequent months to round out my wardrobe options, but can't seem to find anything else that fits OTR without a concession of some sort. Now I have a rack of pretty neat pieces that cover the spread, so to speak, but each introduce their own nitpicks. I've never noticed quite this much fit disparity in more designer stuff (Todd Snyder, YSL, Celine, etc.) so is getting lucky on fit more of a feature than a bug with most heritage/repro Japanese brands? Or do I just need to keep looking? Almost went MTO on a recent Johnson's visit in SF but a lot of their stock patterns left me feeling a little lukewarm. How many jackets did it take before you struck gold?
