So nice! I want to throw my hat in the ring for one of these as well, was meant to try one on last month but they ran out of stock...Reservation for a Rainbow Hercules. Good thing about being older... Xmas comes faster every year.
Did you order from Mushmans?

Yes! Their customer service is very good so far. And international shipping seems to be included in price. Not an issue if you're in Japan already... But I wish I could try it on first as well. The 44 seems to be on the borderline of too small-- it measures about 22.5 pit to pit. I'd prefer it it was in the 23's...

Yeah, on my trip I found out I'm a 42 in Real McCoys and Flat Head, but Rainbow Country seems to run a bit smaller so not sure if I'm a 42 or 44... Wish I was able to try them. I also tried on a Freewheeler Centinela in 44 and that looked awesome but unzippable lol!
I hope next time I return I'll get the chance, but they also just upped the price by $100 this season as well...

Yeah, I noticed the price increase as well. RC is venturing into RealMcCoy price point.

Didn't want to buy one without trying it on at this price point, I was really close to getting the Tobacco Brown custom order from Barnstormer though because the leather was so nice.
Also I read this on their Instagram post:
It's crappy Instagram machine translation so may be incorrect, but does this mean they'll take custom size orders? I thought they discontinued it a while ago since I've only seen stock sizes around. Probably what happened to the one I bought for cheap, botched measurements. I would have visited if they held this order exhibition a little sooner!

The hem does not look like a brooks. The hem looks like bates but the double sewing on the zip, sleeves, and cut does not support bates construction methods, design, or fabrics. Perhaps, when you get it, you can share more images of the jacket.

The Sierra is on its way to me. This letter was found in one of its pockets.
This J82 is on its way as well, might clean up nicely. Some black Urad and this thing will look the part. I forgot to ask about measurements though lol. It's a 42 that's all I know.

good score
Score! Apparel Annex builds tanks!
This one is on the way. Taylor's Detroit without the front pocket flap badge holder. I don't wear a badge, so no loss. I likw the styling for the most part. Would prefer side laces and belt with loops, but for $140 I'll take it as is. I have to send it to Taylors to get a liner fitted, so maybe I'll ask about belt loops and side laces.
Made in the USA BTW.

I also made an offer on the sierra. Was a bit of a lowball though so I didnt expect much. Also the pit size had me unsure. Promise to make some pics for us marc

Avirex A-2 world map flight jacket inbound. I always seem to be late to the party and this is no exception.

Marc, another great jacket as usual.
That letter looks like one that comes after a Draft notice. Date appears to be shortly after the Korean war. Can’t imagine why anyone would keep that letter in their pocket. At least not anything good that became of it.
Just an observation.

I had never heard of them before, then after looking around, it seems as though these jackets are very heavy duty. We will see how it cleans up and takes dye and oil.
